A custom designed website is one that is created from scratch based on each website owner’s needs and requests. A custom designed website starts with an analysis of the requirements that the owner of the website has, a graphic design is provided for review and approval which later is converted into web-pages. The number of web-pages may vary from one website to another, based on each one’s needs. The scripting used for each website can vary and is based on the type of website and operating system installed on the server. All web-pages that form a website should contain common elements, such as header, footer, menu area, background, etc. so a visitor will not feel like he/she left the website when navigating from one page to another.

With a custom designed website, the positioning of certain common elements can be chosen freely by the website designer, when in a template, such elements are fixed and, in order to be re-positioned, it requires a re-do of the website design or modifying the script, in most cases. When customizing a predefined or pre-designed template for a website, some changes requested by the website owners are not always possible, especially if no direct access to the website files is available. However, if full access to the hosting, and therefore to the website files, is available some changes to the templates may require modifying the script and that may result in additional charges that may bring the cost higher than having a new custom designed website. That is why the analysis part in building a website plays an important role in choosing between a template or a custom designed website, or between simple html or server side scripting.
