Why We Build Every Site From Scratch

We do not use templates. That surprises some people, and it is fair to ask why. Here is the honest reasoning, and where it does and does not matter.

Templates carry weight you never use

A template has to work for every kind of business. So it ships with code for features you will never touch. All of that still loads in the visitor browser. That is the main reason template sites are usually slower than they should be.

Your business is not a category

A template asks you to pick a category and pour your business into it. But the thing that actually wins you customers may not fit any of the boxes. Building from scratch means the page gets shaped around your real selling point instead.

It is easier to change later

When we build it, we know every piece of it. Adding booking or a new service page next year is simple. With a template, changes often mean fighting rules that somebody else wrote for somebody else business.

The takeaway

Building from scratch gives you a faster site, shaped around your business, that stays easy to change later.
