Custom Web Design vs. Pre-Packaged Websites
Often times it may seem cheaper to buy a pre-packaged web site. A pre-packaged website is basically an already developed website, and then is slightly customized for the client. It’s no wonder why this is cheaper; the website is made once, and then repeatedly sold.
There are many reasons why a customized website stands out far above and beyond pre-packaged websites.
Customized
Well this is an obvious benefit, but it’s also the most important benefit. Many customers eventually regret the pre-packaged websites, considering them to be “cookie cutter” websites. With a website that is custom from the beginning, you are guaranteed to make the mark you were initially looking for without any limitations.
Originality
When viewers are surfing the web, they can often sense a pre-packaged website when they see it. After all, how many others have already bought the pre-packaged website? Sure the theme and lay out can be changed a little, but unfortunately not enough. Original quality let’s customers know that you’re serious about what you do.
Creativity
Your website is like a first meeting to all of your potential clients. So this means that you want to use your unique qualities to make a great first impression. Well, a pre-packaged website isn’t going to do that so well. This is because a pre-packaged website wasn’t designed around you like a customized website could be.
Is It Really Cheaper?
Even if a pre-packaged website looks cheaper, it might not really be so. As changes happen in the world, so does the web. Unfortunately, pre-packaged websites may not be able to change with the rest. This is due to the fact that a pre-packaged website is designed with everyone in mind, not you specifically. A customized web developer, such as One World Technologies, has your current and future goals in mind.
Additionally a customized web developer can plan your costs over time. With a pre-packaged website you pay for an entire site at once. A customized website can be created as you grow into it. Not looking to add a department or product for a while? Then why pay for it now if you don’t need to?
