Custom website development - FAQ

What is a custom website development, and how does it differ from a template-based web design?
Custom website development refers to the process of designing a website from scratch, without using pre-made templates or themes and can be completely hand-coded or using page builders for wordpress based sites. This allows for greater flexibility and creativity in the design process, and ensures that the website is unique and tailored to the specific needs of the client with higher conversions, greatest performance and search engine visibility.

Our Expertise

1. How can I confirm that you are the best in custom web design services?
To demonstrate our expertise, this website has been meticulously crafted with 100% semantic markup, making it the world's first business website to forgo the use of conventional styling elements like divs, spans, Ids, or classes. Building a website exclusively with semantic markup demands exceptional logical thinking, and unwavering focus, and presents a formidable challenge. Moreover, this approach is favored by most search engines, enhancing the website’s visibility and performance.
2. What sets you apart and distinguishes you from other web developers or website development companies?
To distinguish ourselves from other web development companies, our primary emphasis is on coding to achieve superior search engine rankings. We don't just code; we deeply understand search engine mechanics and prioritize optimal performance to eliminate delays in loading speed. Our custom-designed websites excel in overcoming technical challenges such as LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), FCP (First Contentful Paint), TBT (Total Blocking Time), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift). Excelling in these aspects is essential for delivering a high-performing website, a feat that many developers find challenging.

In addition, we offer the flexibility of up to six content updates within the first year without any impact on the layout – all at no extra cost. If you have a WordPress website, rest assured that we will configure the plugins for automatic updates, reducing the need for manual maintenance. Please note that for e-commerce websites, maintenance is not included in our service.
