Custom Website Vs Template Website
21 Jun 2008What is the difference between a Custom site vs. a Template site?
A custom site is developed by scratch and is formatted with original material, not pre-fabricated designs. A template site is a pre-packaged visual design. A template is typically composed of pre-fabricated material, such as backgrounds, banners, main navigation links, and masthead areas.
Why choose to develop a Custom site vs. a Template site?
A custom site gives you the ability to develop a unique one of a kind design that fits your business and/or industry. A custom site is typically designed around a company image. The key features of a site, such as a header, navigational menu, font and other professional images, are designed to correspond to a company image. A custom site, depending on the design team, is also typically developed to be search engine friendly. What does this mean? It means a custom site can be built to increase the volume and quality of traffic to a site, therefore, accumulating more profit for a business.
The numbers show that a template site can be designed fast and cheap, on the other side, template websites can look very generic depending on the concept and design team. Also, there is the possibility that a competitor will be using the exact template that you're utilizing for your company.
In summary, the importance of a professional design presence for a business cannot be underestimated. An individual visiting a site gauges the validity and credibility of your business by your site design and visual presentation. If you don't have a professional site design, your business is losing credibility, clients, and money.
