A definitive breakdown of your two main website options

Starting your own business is hard work — especially if it’s your first time. There are so many decisions to be made involving supply, accounts, branding strategy, content and marketing, and that’s before you’ve even got started on your website.

When choosing a website for your business, it can be tempting to opt for the easiest and quickest option, but this decision shouldn’t be taken lightly — your website is essentially your shop front and is the base from which you engage and sell to your customers. At WEBPRO, we offer two main site options: template and bespoke. To help you decide which one is right for you, we’re laying out the benefits of each.

WEBPRO’s templates get you online with minimal fuss

As a business owner, we know that your time is precious and there are so many things you’d like to do but just don’t have a spare minute. You know you need a website to offer your services and products to the wider world, and people keep telling you that you need one, but you just don’t have the time to set one up. What’s more, you don’t want to spend a fortune doing so.

If this is you, our template website options are the perfect solution. They allow you to bring your business online quickly and easily, and they’re all completed by one of our expert web developers who is assigned to your project at the outset to provide a semi-bespoke service. Sounds great, but you may be asking yourself just how much time you still need to devote to make it a reality because you’re just too busy. Of course you do need to be involved to some extent, it is your website after all, but all the hard work and boring bits are taken care of by our team. Other than providing the initial input on who you are and what you do, plus your feedback, there is very little for you to do.

Furthermore, our template websites come in a range of packages from brochure websites through to more corporate comprehensive sites, all designed and developed by the same teams who create our bespoke websites. So you don’t need to worry about the quality, innovation or design trends, as our templates are designed with this in mind. All at a fraction of the cost and time of a custom website created from scratch. With our range of templates reviewed regularly our clients are able to migrate to a new design to keep their website fresh and up to date.

Templates you can customise

You can change the colour scheme, images and other content blocks to fit your business. In this sense, you get a semi-bespoke website that aligns with your brand and stands out from the crowd — all without the effort or expense of having to start from scratch or the feeling of being restricted to a limited choice of templates.

Want to go the extra mile? Choose our bespoke website design service

Our templates are great, but if you’re serious about having a website that’s totally unique and you’re willing to stretch the budget for the advancement of your business, we’ll craft the perfect site for your specific business needs.

Whether you need a slick ecommerce platform, a showstopper portfolio or a services brochure, nothing shows you mean business like a custom-made website. At WEBPRO, we work collaboratively with you to create the site you’ve always wanted, building each individual element from the ground up.

Consider the cost and the time involved

It’s worth noting that a bespoke website takes more of a commitment than the template option, in terms of both time and financial investment. If you have the budget and you are willing to plan in advance, though, it is well worth the wait.

It’s time to weigh things up

So, when choosing a template or bespoke website for your business, the decision is entirely yours and depends on your unique vision. It’s important to factor in your budget and the amount of time you have to commit. Whatever you choose, with WEBPRO you can be sure you’re getting a great service from start to finish, everything from web design to online marketing can be taken care of all under one roof.
