This is an important factor that comes to the mind of business owners after they decide to have a website or have a redesign.
So let us discuss what to choose between both of it
Who should go with a template website ?
- You need your website up and running in a short period of time. (3-4 weeks)
- You have a limited budget.
- Your website will be simple and normal ones (Ex:- eCommerce, portfolio, blogs, )
- You do not have any idea about coding
- Themes can be edited and can be transformed completely according to your brand.
Who should go with a Custom Web Design?
- You are having ample time for the creation of the website (6-8 months ideally)
- You do not have a limited budget (normal custom websites costs around $15000 – $30000)
- You need a design completely out of the books.
- Your site will have complex features (Ex:- Billing system, Stock Management System, and other features)
- You need an all in one website (which has all your systems in one place)
Example for better understanding:-
Take an example of a car.
A family of 3 buys a car according to their requirements (space, comfort, and other factors)
A small hatchback car or a sedan will work for them.
This may cost a few thousand dollars.
And
A family of 10 buys a car according to their needs.
The family of 10 will require maybe an SUV with great space and comfort.
This will cost waaayyyy more than a couple thousand dollars.
Both of it is a different story.
It completely depends upon your requirements, budget, time and the complexity of the website.
