What it is
A template website is built on a pre-made design framework — you plug in your content, adjust some colors, and you're done. A custom website is designed and built from scratch specifically for your brand, your audience, and your business goals.
Why it matters
Templates are fast and affordable. Custom is built to convert. The right answer depends on where you are in your business. A template can be a good starting point. But as soon as you're competing seriously for customers, a generic template makes you look generic.
The mistake most people make
Choosing a template because it looks good in the demo — without realizing it was designed by someone else for a completely different type of business. You end up trying to force your brand into someone else's mold, and it never quite fits.
