Custom Website vs Template Website: Which Is Better?
When templates are the smart call — and when they're not.
Templates are great until your business is unique enough that the template starts to fight you.
Go template when
You need to ship in 2 weeks, content is standard, and budget is under $3k.
Go custom when
Conversion matters, integrations are deep, or your brand needs to feel different.
The bottom line
Most successful sites start template and graduate to custom around month 12-18.
