Custom Web Development
Start Your Project Today
Designing your business website is a big project. Your website will often be your first impression on your customers, so there’s no doubt that it should be built to impress. When it comes to actually designing your site, however, you’ll be faced with the question of whether to choose a generic template or build a custom website design.
Both custom web design and generic templates have their pros and cons. After all, there’s a reason that both exist and are used by businesses everyday. Depending on what type of new website you want to build, the impression you want to make on your customers and the complex business problems you face, you’ll need to choose one or the other.
Custom Web Design vs Templates
Custom Web Development: When you choose custom web design, your website will stand out. You can show off your business’ unique selling points and build to your exact specifications.
Custom web development solutions allow you to build your website however you need. You have unlimited design options available and while this does come at a higher cost, it’s a benefit that many businesses are unwilling to part with.
Overall, custom designs tend to be more customer focused and offer flexibility that you won’t find with templates. Your custom website is built with powerful scalability and personalized branding – two things that are often harder to find in templates.
Templates: Using a generic template is much simpler than designing your own custom website. With some website building tools, you don’t need any coding experience to create your site and most of the time, you’ll be able to edit and manage your new website without the help of a professional.
When you use a template, however, you are more limited in your abilities and personalization. Since you’re using a template, other businesses may have a website that looks similar to yours which can make branding difficult.
Additionally, you won’t be able to edit everything about the template. Sometimes, you may only be able to edit theme colors, fonts, and images.
While templates are easy to use and often cheaper, they aren’t always the best option. If your business needs a main platform to communicate and attract customers, going with a custom web design is often in your best interest.
What You Can Expect With Your New Custom Website
Custom web design comes with a myriad of benefits, but if you’re new to it, you might be wondering what to expect.
SEO Friendly
SEO plays a huge role in search results which means it’s vital that your website conforms to current standards. With a custom web design, you can expect your website to be built according to modern SEO standards so your business has the competitive edge it deserves.
Your SEO-friendly website will be able to generate new leads, improve your ranking in search results, and increase website traffic.
Responsive Design
Custom web designs are built to automatically adjust to the device customers use to access your website. By ensuring your website is always ready to be accessed on tablets, laptops, and mobile devices, you can be confident that your users are getting the best experience and user interface possible.
Responsive and mobile-friendly websites receive higher rankings in search results as well and with more users turning to their mobile devices, this is a feature that should not be overlooked.
Third Party Integrations
If you need to integrate any kind of third party tool into your website for tracking or sales processes, it can be very difficult or sometimes impossible to do that with a site that isn’t custom built. For example, if you need to add a booking engine or you want to connect your site to your Salesforce system, you’ll need to have a site that gives you the flexibility to do that. All your business processes can be streamlined and accessed easier with one central and smart system.
