Custom Website Design:
A custom website is created from scratch — the information structure, graphics, navigational structure, functions, and back-end structure, etc. are all designed on the basis of client’s unique requirements. Often we build custom website designs on CorePHP/HTML5/CSS3 with MYSQL database backend.

- Starting from scratch is always easier as it allows maximum customisation.
- Gives the chance to develop our own plugins and frameworks that may be proprietary to the specific website project
- As a professional, it’s essential to follow new trends and technologies. So, creating something new is always a great idea!
Disadvantages
- More Graphic Design & Web Development work is needed
- Can be significantly more costly

With particular functionality specifications and a desire to design, a custom website solution is the perfect choice.
Template Website Design:
There are numerous alternatives for individuals who want to develop their own websites and one of the widely used options is to set up a WordPress website and then choose a template. A theme or a site builder can help you set up a website easily and quickly with no technical skills required.
Something to Consider: Numerous themes have built-in functionality and features you won’t use and finally may weigh your website down. You additionally may need to put up with features or designs that don’t fit your brand or business, or pay somebody to change or remove it.
Advantages
- Make assembling a website together very simple and easy
- Thousands of options available to choose from

Disadvantages
- Everything is fine until clients want to make slight changes in the layout and this means development work, which in return means creating child themes.
- May take much time to locate the perfect theme for clients
- There are still a number of themes that are not responsive and that means we need to work on the responsiveness and upgrade the themes in development
- The original designer/developer of the theme could possibly move on to a few other things in future, that simply means there will be no assistance for changes, which means the theme will have no updates.
- If you have created a child theme, then the possibilities are more changes are needed to the theme, which simply means development tasks.
