Custom vs. Template Websites
When a client needs a fully custom website, when a template or no-code build will do, and how to make the right recommendation.

Fast Track Websites
Fast Track WebsitesA working website in one week.
A simple site on a new domain. Your team briefs it, we build it, and you sign it off within five business days.
We can build with
- WordPress
- Wix
- Squarespace
- Webflow
- Shopify
- React.js
- HTML
What your client gets
This is for a client who needs to move now: a new product, a new niche, or a first step online. You keep the relationship. We do not contact your client.
- 01
They are online within a week
A functional site is ready in five business days, once we have the domain, the hosting, and the files.
- 02
People can see what they sell
The pages say what the business does, and it is obvious how to get in touch.
- 03
It matches their brand
We use their colours, logo, text, and images on a template chosen for the brief.
- 04
It can take the next campaign
Search, ads, and email can be added afterwards. The site does not have to be rebuilt for that.
How it runs
From the brief to launch, in four steps
You are involved at every step. The site goes live only after you approve it.
Revisions
How the edit round works
What the round includes
You can change text, images, and the pages that were in the brief. That is one round.

The week only holds if the domain, the logins, and the files are here at the start, and feedback comes back on time.
| Task | Your agency |  |
|---|---|---|
| We run the project and hand the finished site over in five business days. | ||
| We give you templates to choose from, based on what the site needs to do. | ||
| We build the site to the brief and the brand, so the pages are straightforward to use. | ||
| We message you when a step is ready, so nothing waits in silence. | ||
| We put the text and images on the pages. | ||
| We test that the site works, including on phones and on the browsers we agreed. | ||
| We put the site live after you approve it. | ||
| A new domain. This service builds a new website. It does not replace or redesign one that already exists. | ||
| The hosting login, or FTP access, so the site can go online. | ||
| The brief: what the business does, the pages you want, the colours, the logo, the text, and the images. | ||
| A decision on the template. Basic sites are usually built on WordPress. Wix and Shopify cost more, which changes the quote. | ||
| Feedback when we ask for it. If a decision waits, the five days wait. |
The template
We build from Elementor kit templates and send ThemeForest links for you to review. If you choose a paid theme, we can invoice it with the build, or you can buy it yourself.
The site is built on the hosting you provide, so you can see it while we work. We tell you when it is ready for the edit round.
What sits outside the week
Requests that were not in the brief go through website maintenance. We list them and invoice them separately, so the five business days stay intact.
The brief is the business details, the page list, the colours, and the files: images, text, and logo. A redesign of an existing site is a different service.
How to sell the week
The useful point is speed. A professional site in almost no time, so the client can react to a new product, a new niche, or a move online. It still uses their brand.
Once it is live they can be found. Search, ads, or email can follow. The website is the first step, not the whole plan.
