Template website vs custom business website

Template / page builder — fast start, limited layout logic, SEO and speed often compromised, hard to integrate CRM or booking cleanly

Custom website development — unique page templates, conversion paths, structured content, performance budget, scalable components

Custom software / SaaS / CRM — accounts, workflows, databases — a product, not a marketing page
