But designing a unique and professional web interface is certainly going to cost you a bit but given its innumerable benefits, you can easily overlook it. But there are some who like to trade a different path and they prefer readymade website template to custom web design as it helps them save some money.</p>
<p>But if you are serious about branding and want to avoid serious repercussion later, you should look for a web design company that offers professional custom web design services without making you feel the pinching effect in your pocket. Here in this article, we are going to give you a clear picture of the advantages and disadvantages of choosing free website template.</p>
<p>The best thing about website template is that you would not have to pay anything for it. You just need to find out a template that goes with the theme and nature of your website and you are done. Just download that template and make some minor modifications and your online presence will attain an all new dimension. There are some websites which are loaded with free web templates and some of them are even customizable. Now, if you are good at design and development, you can easily give that template a fresh new look by making some minor tweaks here and there. Alternatively, you can find out a web design company which is particularly good at customizing business web design template without charging you exorbitantly for that.</p>
<p>But web template is not all good. It has some serious shortcomings that should not be ignored blatantly. Its biggest shortcoming is that it is not unique and even after giving your best efforts; it may still bear some features that may make your website look somewhat identical to that of another website. This is definitely not good as far as the brand image of your company is concerned.</p>
<p>Moreover, customization options are largely limited to making minor changes in the header image or changing the texts etc. Links in the footer section are hard to remove and these links make your website look really pathetic. There are some other issues too. Since these web templates are available free of cost, they are not so SEO friendly. Some of them contain serious bugs, junk codes and other issues that can make a website completely invisible in the search engines result page.</p>
<p>There are certain fronts where custom web designing score high. For example, it helps a website attain better online exposure and these designs are highly customizable. So, if you have a long term plan, you should better off with custom web design.</p>5:["$","$4",null,{"fallback":[[["$","link","css:/assets/_layout-BzYdn0f6.css",{"rel":"stylesheet","precedence":"vite-rsc/importer-resources","href":"/assets/_layout-BzYdn0f6.css","data-rsc-css-href":"/assets/_layout-BzYdn0f6.css"}],"$undefined"],["$","div",null,{"className":"flex justify-center items-center p-8","children":["$","div",null,{"className":"animate-spin rounded-full h-8 w-8 border-b-2 border-indigo-600"}]}]],"children":["$","div",null,{"className":"bg-white/95 mt-0.5 py-6 sm:py-12","children":["$","article",null,{"className":"mx-auto w-full max-w-2xl format format-sm sm:format-base lg:format-lg format-blue dark:format-invert","children":[["$","header",null,{"className":"mb-4 lg:mb-6 not-format","children":[["$","h1",null,{"className":"mb-4 text-3xl font-extrabold leading-tight text-gray-900 lg:mb-6 lg:text-4xl dark:text-white","children":"Custom Web Design or Website Template: Which Way to Go?"}],["$","address",null,{"className":"flex items-center mb-6 not-italic","children":["$","div",null,{"className":"inline-flex items-center text-sm text-gray-900 dark:text-white","children":[["$","img",null,{"className":"mr-3 w-8 h-8 rounded-full","src":"$7","alt":"Manisha"}],["$","a",null,{"href":"/author/manisha_73656373870998","rel":"author","className":"font-bold capitalize hover:underline dark:text-white","children":"Manisha"}],["$","span",null,{"className":"mx-1 text-md text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-500","children":"·"}],["$","span",null,{"className":"inline-flex items-center ml-1 text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400","children":"3 min read"}],["$","span",null,{"className":"mx-1 text-md text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-500","children":"·"}],["$","time",null,{"dateTime":"Fri Jul 22 2011","className":"text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400","children":"Jul 22, 2011"}],[["$","span",null,{"className":"mx-1 text-md text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-500","children":"·"}],["$","a","web-apps",{"href":"/t/web-apps","className":"capitalize text-sm text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400 hover:text-gray-600","children":"web apps"}]]]}]}]]}],["$","div",null,{"className":"lead prose mt-4 text-lg leading-8 text-gray-600","children":["$","div",null,{"dangerouslySetInnerHTML":{"__html":"$8"}}]}],"$L9","$La"]}]}]}]
