Web Design Services that Match Your Vision

Template-Based Websites

Custom Website Design

• What’s the difference between a template-based website and a custom website design?

  Template-based websites use pre-made layouts for a faster and more affordable solution. Custom website design gives you a unique, fully tailored, SEO-friendly website that matches your brand identity and goals.

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of template-based websites?

  Advantages:
  Template-based websites offer a faster and more affordable way to launch your online presence. They come with pre-designed layouts that can be customized to fit your brand, saving both design and development time. Most modern templates are responsive, SEO-friendly — making them ideal for small businesses that need a clean and professional site quickly.

  Disadvantages:
  While templates are efficient, they come with some limitations. Customization options are restricted compared to fully custom designs, and some templates may include unnecessary code that can slow down the site. The built-in structure is not always optimal for SEO, which can limit your website’s search performance without proper adjustments. In cases where you need more advanced modifications, it’s often necessary to purchase a premium page builder like Elementor, which can increase annual maintenance costs. Additionally, since templates are publicly available, your website may share a similar structure or style with others unless you invest in deeper customization.

  Best for:
  Template-based websites are a great choice for small businesses, startups, or personal projects that need a professional look without the high cost or long development time of a fully custom website.

• What are the main advantages and disadvantages of custom websites?

  Advantages:
  Custom websites are built from the ground up to meet the specific needs of your business. This allows for complete control over design, functionality, and user experience. A custom-built site usually offers a better SEO structure and also tend to have faster loading speeds and better long-term scalability, helping your pages rank higher in search results.
  Another key benefit is that there’s no need to pay for third-party themes or builders during our collaboration — you get a tailored solution that is lightweight, efficient, and fully yours.

  Disadvantages:
  The main downside is the higher initial investment compared to template-based websites, as development takes more time and expertise. Custom projects may also require more effort for future updates or feature additions, since every element is uniquely built. However, these costs often balance out over time through improved performance, flexibility, and lower ongoing fees.

• Where can I browse website templates, and which ones do you recommend?

  If you’re interested in Template-Based Websites, here’s how to explore your options and what we recommend.

  Our recommended templates
  We have the best experience with:

  • Divi (Elegant Themes) – excellent flexibility, one-time lifetime license available. We have purchased a lifetime license, so you don’t have to pay for it during our cooperation. You can view ready-made template demos at this link to Divi Layouts & Layout Packs.
  • Flatsome – great for business websites and e-commerce, clean and fast. The template costs a one-time fee of around €70, but if issues arise later, you may need to pay for support, which can increase overall costs. You can view ready-made template demos at this link.

  We prioritize templates and builders with a one-time payment or lifetime license—not yearly fees.

  Why we recommend Divi most often

  • Well-designed templates for many industries
  • Flexible visual builder
  • Easy to adjust sections, add or remove elements
  • Lifetime license option = no recurring fees
  • Good balance of design + performance

  We can also modify template sections if needed (add, remove, or rebuild parts for a better fit). For minor adjustments — it’s simple & cost-effective. If modifications become extensive, then a custom website in Bricks Builder is usually a better long-term solution (cleaner code, faster, no unnecessary bloat).

  Summary
  If you want a fast, modern, SEO-friendly site and long-term flexibility, custom Bricks Builder websites are usually the best investment.

  If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly starting point, Divi and Flatsome are our top template-based choices.

• What SEO measures do we take to ensure your website performs well in search engines?

  Here’s what we do to achieve this:

  • We use a professional SEO plugin (such as Rank Math or Yoast SEO) to manage metadata and overall optimization.
  • We insert relevant keywords, page titles, permalinks, and meta descriptions that reflect your business and target audience.
  • We include keywords naturally in headings and throughout your content.
  • We ensure that pages have sufficient, high-quality text optimized for both users and search engines.
  • All images are properly optimized with alt text, web-friendly formats, and compressed file sizes for faster loading.
  • Our custom-built websites are structured with a clean, semantic HTML hierarchy for excellent SEO foundations, while template-based solutions may have a less optimized structure.
  • We also optimize for mobile performance, page speed, and accessibility (applies mainly to custom websites), all of which are key SEO ranking factors today.

   

  Will my website rank on the first page of Google if you do SEO for me?

  Achieving first-page rankings on Google depends on many factors — not only on-site SEO. While we implement strong SEO fundamentals (proper structure, keywords, metadata, speed optimization, content quality, mobile-friendliness, etc.), no one can guarantee a #1 or first-page position — and be cautious of anyone who promises that.

  Ranking depends on:

  • Competitiveness of your industry and keywords
  • Quality and amount of content
  • Domain age and existing authority
  • Backlinks and overall online presence
  • Local competition (for local businesses)
  • User behavior signals (engagement, bounce rate, etc.)
  • Ongoing SEO effort and updates

   

  SEO is a long-term process, not a one-time switch. With proper ongoing content creation, optimization, and marketing efforts, your rankings will continually improve over time.

• How Fast Are the Websites We Build?

  Website speed depends on several factors, including hosting quality, media optimization, plugin usage, and how the site is built.

  Template-based websites can sometimes be slower because they often load unnecessary code or features. They may also require additional optimization — and in some cases, performance improvements can be limited. We’ve had very good results with the Divi theme in terms of speed among template-based solutions.

  Custom websites built with the Bricks Builder are typically much faster, as the code is cleaner, lighter, and precisely tailored to the site’s purpose. They generally achieve better results in Google PageSpeed Insights without extensive optimization.

  As a reference, mobile scores are usually lower due to slower connections and less powerful hardware, so the thresholds are more forgiving:

  • 80–100 points: excellent (no optimization needed, the site is well-optimized).
  • 60–79 points: good (fully acceptable, minor tweaks are only a bonus).

   

  Desktop scores are naturally higher because computers have stronger hardware and faster connections:

  • 90–100 points: excellent (no changes required).
  • 80–89 points: good (perfectly fine for SEO and UX).

   

  Our goal is always to deliver websites that are lightweight, fast, and optimized for real-world performance across all devices. While we strive to achieve the scores mentioned above, the final results can vary depending on several factors — such as graphic design complexity, required functionality, the overall size and structure of the website, or the need to use multiple plugins to meet specific client requirements…

• For what types of websites is WordPress the right choice?

  WordPress is a highly flexible platform suitable for a wide range of website types — from small personal blogs to complex business websites. Is the most widely used CMS in the world for building websites, powering around 43% of all websites worldwide. It’s particularly ideal for:

  • Business presentation websites – perfect for small and medium-sized companies that need a professional online presence with easy content management.
  • E-commerce websites – with plugins like WooCommerce, WordPress can handle small to medium-sized online stores effectively.
  • Portfolio and creative websites – excellent for showcasing projects, designs, or photography.
  • Blogs and content-heavy websites – originally created for blogging, WordPress remains one of the best platforms for publishing and organizing large volumes of content.
  • Non-profit and community websites – easy to manage and cost-effective, suitable for NGOs or local communities.

   

  WordPress is not always ideal for very large enterprise-level solutions or web applications that require highly specific custom functionality and scalability. However, for most small to mid-sized businesses, it offers an excellent balance between functionality, price, flexibility, and SEO performance.

• How do you ensure the security of WordPress websites?

  Security is a key priority when building websites. WordPress is secure when properly configured and maintained, and we follow proven best-practice measures to help keep your website protected.

  Security is a key priority when building websites. WordPress is secure when properly configured and maintained, and we follow proven best-practice measures to help keep your website protected.

  Here’s how we help maintain security:

  • Regular updates – we keep WordPress core, theme, and plugins updated to patch vulnerabilities.
  • Reputable plugins only – we avoid unreliable or outdated plugins that may contain security risks.
  • Security plugin configuration – we use trusted security solutions (e.g., Wordfence or iThemes Security) to add firewalls, login protection, and monitoring.
  • Strong password + login protection – enforcing strong passwords, limiting login attempts, Google ReCaptcha…
  • Server-level protection – hosting with built-in malware scanning, firewalls, and automatic backups (depending on hosting provider).
  • Regular backups – backups allow quick recovery if something happens.
  • Minimal plugin philosophy – fewer plugins = fewer risks + better performance.
  • Hidden admin URL / reduced brute-force exposure (optional).

• What kind of content do I need to provide for my website?

  To build an effective website, we will usually need:

  • Logo & branding assets (if already prepared)
  • Company information & services
  • Texts for the pages (or we can assist with copywriting)
  • Images & photos (or we can provide high-quality stock images)
  • Contact details (phone, email, location, social links)
  • Products (for e-commerce) – descriptions, categories, pricing, photos

   

  Don’t worry if you don’t have everything ready —we can guide you through the content preparation process or create final copy and visuals for you.

• Can I design my own layout or sections, or do you only use predefined designs?

  Yes — you can absolutely propose your own visual elements and sections. Many clients share hand-drawn sketches, ideas, or links to layouts they like.

  We are happy to review inspiration from templates, Dribbble, Behance, Pinterest, or other websites and create an original, custom solution tailored to your brand.

  How it works:

  • you can send a sketch or moodboard (even drawn on paper)
  • you can provide links to design examples you like
  • if you like a section from a template, we can build a custom, improved, and unique version of it
  • we offer our own design suggestions and UX best-practice guidance
  • for custom websites, we create an original design from scratch
  • for template-based websites, we can modify, restructure, enhance, or fully redesign sections

   

  Our goal is always to deliver
  modern website design, clean and lightweight websites, SEO-friendly websites, and professional web design services that represent your brand perfectly.

  Whether you have a clear vision or need creative direction — we adapt to your needs.

• What basic web terms should I know before starting a website project?

  Understanding a few fundamental terms makes communication smoother and helps you better navigate the website process. Here are the key concepts every client should know:

  Domain (Website Address)
  Your website’s unique address on the internet (example: yourcompany.com).
  You rent it yearly from a domain provider.

  Hosting (Server / Web Hosting)
  A service that stores your website files and makes the site accessible online.
  Better hosting = better speed, security, and reliability.

  CMS – Content Management System (WordPress)
  A platform that allows you to manage website pages, text, images, and blog posts without coding.
  We use WordPress, the world’s most popular CMS.

  Theme / Template
  A pre-built design framework used in template-based websites.
  It defines layout, design components, and styling.

  Builder (e.g., Bricks Builder)
  A tool that lets us design and build the website structure and styling visually.
  For custom builds, we use Bricks Builder for clean, fast, lightweight websites.

  Plugins
  Add-ons that extend functionality (e.g., SEO tools, security, forms, speed optimization).
  Only quality and necessary plugins are used to keep the site fast and secure.

  SSL Certificate (HTTPS)
  Security certificate that encrypts communication and adds the “lock” symbol in the browser.
  Essential for trust, SEO, and online security.

  SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
  Techniques to improve visibility on Google — structure, speed, keywords, content, image optimization, etc.
