Custom vs. Template Websites

Not every website needs to be built from scratch. Choosing between custom, template and no-code approaches depends on goals, budget and timeline.

Template or no-code websites

Pros: faster, more affordable, easier for clients to manage.

Cons: less flexibility, potential performance limits, may look similar to others.

Best for: small businesses, early-stage brands, simple brochure sites.

Custom websites

Pros: unique design, full flexibility, optimised performance, custom functionality.

Cons: higher cost, longer timelines.

Best for: brands with specific needs, complex functionality, high traffic or strong brand requirements.

Coded versus no-code

No-code platforms let clients make changes without developers. Coded websites offer more control and performance.

Questions to ask

• What does the site need to do?
• How unique must the design be?
• Who will manage it?
• What is the budget and timeline?
• How will it grow?
