It is a question we are often asked: should I go for a custom WordPress website or a WordPress website based on a template? We are going to be honest. We think that both have their pros and cons. However, building websites has too many aspects to be able to express our opinion in a single sentence. So we will delve deeper into the matter. Much deeper.
A WordPress website based on a template
Creating a website from a template can definitely speed up the process. Why?
There are many ready-made themes available and even completely focused on certain activities, such as real estate , events , job offers , portfolios . Moreover, you will find templates at democratic prices, from 40$ to 100$.
Your website is ready to use.

They are part of a designer’s vision. All coding, page building and personalization must be done in the way the designer has built it in. This varies greatly from developer to developer, from theme to theme. Adjustments are possible but involve extra work that can negate the initial low cost.
Themes often use shortcodes or effects that are not always guaranteed to work after updates. If you switch to another theme later, these will also become unusable and you may have to rebuild all your pages and widgets.
When purchasing a template, it is always good to ask whether the developer offers support. This is useful if certain adjustments do not work right away or if problems arise during updates, when installing plugins, or at other times.
A custom WordPress website
A custom WordPress website is created entirely on the basis of a briefing, a targeted analysis and a suitable proposal. The website will immediately contain the functionalities and will perfectly match the house style in terms of layout. You do not have to limit yourself to existing solutions or specifications, because these can be developed and adapted in a targeted manner. What’s more, a developer can provide ideas for complementary or alternative applications based on his technical and marketing experience.
For later adjustments you have a direct point of contact, someone who knows the code and structure of the website inside and out and can therefore respond quickly. If you want to link your website to external software such as CRM, stock management or file management, customization will always be the best and safest solution.
The conclusion
A website based on a template is usually faster and cheaper. A custom website requires a bit more budget and time, but you will get a unique and personal website that is tailored to your needs and tools.

Just a moment!
We mainly build custom websites, but we also guide the construction of websites based on a template.
Why would you bring in someone else when it’s all so easy? We’ll give you four reasons:
1. We help you choose a template
Sometimes you find one that looks exactly the way you want it. Then you realize that it doesn’t have all the features you need. Or vice versa. Instead of spending a lot of time searching and comparing and buy telemarketing contact list possibly making a ‘bad buy’ (well, they’re not that expensive, but still), you can perhaps get someone to help you who will tell you right away which templates are right for your project.
2. We help install WordPress and a template
Easy peasy. You can do it perfectly yourself. But which hosting do you choose? How do you arrange that with your domain name and e-mails? How do you ensure that your WordPress installation is secure? And regularly updated? Handy if you have someone at your side who specializes in that and can arrange that for you in no time.
3. We help you personalize your template
Incorporate your logo into the template. Configure the widgets in the agb directory footers and sidebars. Adjust the colors here and there. Build the menus. How are the existing page templates structured? And how do you add one yourself? How do you add Google Analytics and Google Ads code? What are useful plug-ins for what you want to achieve with your website? It might be useful to get help or to be shown the ropes. Someone who can tell you at a glance how to make those adjustments quickly or why a certain adjustment is not coming through. Instead of wasting your valuable time looking for an answer on various forums.
4. We help you organize and optimize your website
You want to show all that valuable content that you put on your website to as many visitors (potential customers!) as possible. So you want a well-structured and user-friendly website. That can also be found via search engines. Because that is how most people start the purchasing process. So it is a lot more efficient if someone sets that up for you or together with you right from the start. Better that than realizing after a few months that you now have a nice website, but hardly any visitors. And that someone then has to do the initial work all over again.
