Custom Website Design & Development

In the simplest terms, custom website development means a website built from scratch. You start with an idea and define how it should look and work. Then the graphic design is created and coded into HTML. Any programming that is needed like database design and development and functional logic is programmed.

Comparing this to building a custom home where you hire an architect to design what it will look like, and then it is custom-built. When it is done, you have a unique house that no one else will have.

Custom Web Development Can Mean Different Things

Taking it a step further, and not so simple terms, there are many levels of what can be customized and to what extent.

A custom website to you could mean:

• The graphic web design is unique to your company brand.
• Or it may refer to the website is coded from scratch rather than with a website theme or template.
• It can also refer to the programming logic to build functionality that meets your unique business rules that cannot be easily built into off the shelf software.

As a web programmer, Our skill-set focuses on the logic and functionality of custom web application development services.

I code programming logic into websites to store data in an online database. Users can then interact to do things like purchase something online, login and view their member profile, or perform a search of content on the website.

Custom Website Services

Someone contacted us for a web development estimate. He was looking for a web programmer because he needed a custom website built.

Most self-hosted websites are custom or customized.
By this, I mean, you start from scratch with a custom website. You create a design, design a database and code all web programming logic needed.

So, What's The Best Solution, Custom Website Or Customized?

What is best depends on your budget, timeline and the requirements of the project.

Compare it to building a custom home, working with a builder with the option couple home plans, or buying a spec home already built.

Building a custom home involves hiring an architect to design your home plan, and working with a general contractor specializes in custom homes. You need a significant budget and timeline to do this. How much does custom-built cost? It’s impossible to say until you know specifics. No doubt, hiring an architect and then custom-building the house is going to cost a lot more than a spec home.

Unless you want your “dream home” or need unique features, this is not a typical route people take. If you need something truly unique like showcasing a phenomenal view or functional like an elevator, you need a custom solution.

It’s the same concept with web development. Most sites We build are some level of customized. It makes sense from a budget and timeline standpoint. We have built dozens of truly custom website solutions from scratch when it fits the needs of the project, though. It depends on your needs, budget, and timeline.
