What Type Of Website Is Right For You?
You have decided your website needs an upgrade...
You open Instagram or Pinterest to find the perfect inspiration and designer for you... suddenly you are bombarded with posts, pins, or ads that are telling you "How to DIY Your Website", "New Template Shop Now Open", or "Hire us for a Custom Website".
So what exactly IS the difference between a DIY website, a custom website, and buying a website template?
CUSTOM WEBSITE
For:
Established brands and businesses who have a clear sense of what they offer and are ready to hire a professional to take the reigns.
What:
A custom website is built from the ground up, showing off your brand and is tailored to your business’ needs. We can’t speak for everyone’s process, but it typically involves a deep-dive in how to position your website, a strategic plan to get your customer to take their next steps and fully expressing your brand visually online.
WEBSITE TEMPLATES
FOR:
Business owners who are ready to put their best foot forward, on a budget.
What:
Templates are pre-designed websites that you can drop content into. Depending on the template shop, you often have the freedom to change colors, fonts and swap photos. You can also hire an agency (like us!) who offers this as a service, so you can focus on what you do best and grow your business.
DIY WEBSITE
FOR:
Business owners who are just starting out.
What:
Most business owners will take this approach as funds are limited when starting a new business. Squarespace has basic templates built into the platform that are easily customizable. There’s nothing wrong with DIY-ing your own website, while you’re in the process of figuring out your business model!
