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?
