Why Websites Template Suck<\/h2>\n

Recently the website design<\/a> and development industry has been flooded with an influx of companies offering low-cost customizable template websites. At first glance, these websites seem like a cheap alternative to custom designed high-quality websites from a professional web design agency.\u00a0However just remember that when you\u00a0go\u00a0for cheap, you are going to get what\u00a0you pay for. Before you jump onto one of these sites\u00a0to build a cheap website, consider the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Template-Based Sites are Easily Recognizable<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Wouldn\u2019t the fact that they are so popular signal proof of concept? With so many other businesses using it, doesn\u2019t that mean they\u2019re good? If a website is boasting that 100,000 of its templates have been downloaded so far, by using that template yourself, using a cheap template website means the possibility of competing with 100,000 other websites in your industry\u00a0that look exactly the same. It\u2019s hard to stand out\u00a0when 100,000 other businesses have a similar website.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. They Are Strict and Rigid With Design<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Don\u2019t like where the logo is? Want the logo to be a bit bigger<\/a>? Too damn bad. Template websites allow for very little creativity with design and navigation. This makes it difficult to come up with a creative design that will stand out while working with such strict constraints. If you want your website to communicate a fresh, vibrant and creative business, a template website is the worst possible way to go.<\/p>\n

      Most website template services break apart their templates by industry. For example, there\u2019s one template for restaurants, one for mechanics, one for hotels, etc. But think about the healthcare industry for a second. There\u2019s dentists, psychiatrists, chiropractors, personal trainers, and physical trainers all within that one industry. Is one\u00a0template going to properly fit for all of those categories? Definitely not.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. They\u2019re Cheap<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Want to know why they\u2019re cheap? Because the business puts extremely minimal effort into their building your website. They don\u2019t need a team of professional designers and developers because the client is doing all of the work for them. They don\u2019t take the time to get to know the businesses they work with. This means they can get away with having an extremely small team and little expenses. However, as with everything in life, you get what you pay for. Want to spend \u00a325 a month for a website? Well then expect a boring, poorly designed website that will most likely drive away more traffic than it will bring in. The website is often a potential customer\u2019s first point of contact for a business, so when its website is lazy and cheap, the brand image is communicating to potential customers that the business itself is lazy and cheap as well.<\/p>\n
