Why I don't use templates

Pre-made templates look decent at first glance. The problem is that thousands of other websites use them too. Same layout, same animations, same colors, just with a different logo. Your visitors have already seen that design a dozen times on your competitors' websites. The result? Your website goes unnoticed.

But it's not just about aesthetics. WordPress templates come with dozens of plugins that slow down loading, require constant updates and pose security risks. More on that in our detailed comparison of WordPress and custom websites.

Fun fact: The average WordPress website makes 30-50 HTTP requests and weighs 2-3 MB. The websites I build typically have 5-10 requests and weigh under 200 KB. On mobile networks, that difference means several seconds of faster loading.

Every project starts from scratch

There's no design library I "pick" elements from. No recycled pages from previous clients. A wedding band can't look like an accounting firm, and a photographer shouldn't look like an auto repair shop. It sounds obvious, but look at how many websites look exactly the same because they use the same template with changed colors.

When I start working on your website, I first research your industry, your competitors and your audience. Only then do I begin designing. It's the only way to get a website that truly represents your business and helps you attract new clients.

Code ownership: The code of your website is entirely yours. You're not locked into anyone's system, you don't pay a license fee to use your own website. Want to move your site to a different host? Just copy the files, no restrictions.

How your design comes to life

The process is simple and transparent. There's no mystery about how a website gets made. We work together through every step until we get a result that represents you the way you deserve. You can read a detailed description of the entire process on the how it works page.

1

Getting to know your business

We talk about what you do, who your clients are and what you want to achieve. If you have examples of websites you like, that's a great starting point.

2

Concept and design

Based on our conversation, I create a visual proposal for your website. You choose the direction you like and we go from there.

3

Development in clean code

The chosen design becomes HTML and CSS, hand-written without generators. The website is built mobile-first because most visitors come from phones.

4

Your feedback and revisions

You get a live preview link. Every element can be adjusted. Revisions are unlimited and included in the price.

Templates vs custom design

Here's a direct comparison of what you get with a pre-made template versus a website built from scratch. The differences are significant, especially in the long run.

Technical advantages of clean code

This isn't just about design. When a website is written from scratch, without WordPress and without bulky frameworks, you get concrete technical advantages that directly impact your business.

Speed that's measurable

Google uses loading speed as a ranking factor. A website that loads in 0.5 seconds has an advantage over one that takes 3 seconds. Visitors on slow websites simply leave, especially on mobile. My websites score 90+ on Google PageSpeed because they don't have unnecessary code slowing them down.

SEO from day one

Every website is built with proper semantic structure, schema.org markup, optimized meta tags and clean URLs. These aren't things that get "added later" -- they're part of the foundation. WordPress plugins like Yoast SEO try to achieve the same thing, but they do it on top of an already bloated base.

Security without worry

WordPress websites are a frequent target for hackers precisely because they're so widespread. Every plugin is a potential vulnerability. Static HTML websites, like the ones I build, don't have a database someone can compromise, don't have an admin panel someone can break into. There's simply nothing to hack.

Fact: According to Sucuri reports, WordPress accounts for over 90% of all hacked CMS platforms. Static websites, like the ones I build, don't appear in those statistics because they have no vulnerable components.
