Websites Custom Designed for Your Company’s Brand | Simplemachine

 In Web Design

Every business needs a website for obvious reasons. However, you also need the right website if you want to truly benefit from digital commerce. Custom website design is the only way to get the right website for your business.

What Is Custom Web Design?

There are two broad ways to create a website: using templates or a custom website design.

Web design using templates is where you use a pre-designed resource to create a site for your business. The template is essentially a skeleton. Once you have the skeleton, you’re required to add flesh (content, images, etc.) to make the website your own.

These skeletons can be acquired for free or at a premium – the choice is yours. If you choose to purchase premium templates, you may get additional features that may not be available on free templates.

Custom website design, meanwhile, refers to design from scratch. There are no pre-designed skeletons. When you decide to build a site, you hire a professional who begins the design by assessing your needs and building the framework from scratch based on your needs.

Advantages of Custom Design

There are many benefits of going the custom website design route. The first one, of course, is the customization. Template designs are created for general use. They are designed to fit many scenarios. Why? Because it’s not just you who will be using the template; many other people (in the thousands) will also download or purchase the template at some point. The skeleton has to fit their needs, too.

It means, therefore, that a website designed from a template might not fully meet your internet marketing strategy. For instance, you might have growth goals for your business. Maybe you plan to expand within the next two years. When designing a website, you need to keep those expansion goals in mind. A website designed from a template might not support those goals.

Other than that, custom website design is superior to template design for the following reasons:

  • Custom-designed sites are unique
    Do you want your website to be different from the rest? Do you want visitors and returning customers to be wowed by your website because it’s unlike anything they’ve seen before? If your answer is yes, then you need a custom design. Websites designed from templates are never unique because the skeleton is shared by many other sites.
  • Custom-designed sites are secure
    A common problem with template-designed websites is security. Since many of these templates are designed for the masses, no one ever pays close attention to bugs and other security issues that might arise later on. This could expose your site to hacking and cybercrime in general. Custom-designed sites are designed with security in mind. Your designer will use advanced technology to make your site extremely secure.
  • Custom-designed sites guarantee better ranking
    A lot of people overlook this, but template design isn’t good for SEO. You will not rank favorably on the likes of Google and Yahoo Search. There are many reasons for this. For instance, the poor architecture of template-designed sites has been proven to negatively impact crawling. Custom-designed sites, on the other hand, guarantee easy crawling and, thus, better ranking.

There are many other reasons that custom design is better than a template design. These three are just a few examples.
