Hey, why should we prefer making website on our own and not just using templates offered by other sites.

“Making a website from scratch on our own is a custom designed and hand-coded website.” That simply means the website is particularly designed on customer’s needs.

Building a website from scratch requires knowledge about HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language), CSS(Cascading Style Script), JavaScript, SEO(search Engine Optimization) and PHP(Hypertext Preprocessor).

In Website builders and template websites the design is not in our hand. We are given a set of templates and we have to work with that there is no choice left for us.

By creating a website from scratch on your own, the advantages you get are as follows:

  • The website has it’s own unique UI/UX.
  • No ads clutter your site.
  • The ability to edit and update your content more easily.
  • The site has it’s unique domain name.
  • The website will be optimized for search engines, which increases page loading speed.

And by creating website from website builder or template the advantages you get are as follows:

  • It minimizes the expenses
  • It saves time by not writing code.
  • Easy use of drag-and-drop interface.
  • Gives you flexibility and multiple options.

Stay tuned for the next post on how to start making the website and what software you will need to build your website.
