Custom Website Design vs Website Builders
A custom website and a website builder can both work well. The right choice depends on functionality, budget, timeline, customization, maintenance, and the team's ability to manage the site.

List pages, eCommerce needs, integrations, content workflow, accessibility, and expected growth.
Compare customization
Builders can reduce initial effort, while custom development may provide more control but require more time and testing.
Compare total costs
Include subscriptions, hosting, apps, development, maintenance, support, and migration risk.
Plan ownership and SEO
Check URL control, metadata, redirects, crawlable content, performance, security updates, and content ownership.
