Templates
Templates are pre-made designs you buy or download and fill in with your content. They're fast to launch but shared by thousands of other sites.
Templates get you online quickly and cheaply, but they cap how well your site performs, ranks and converts. A custom-built site is made for your business, your customers and your goals — and it shows in the results.
The verdict
Templates win only on instant setup. For everything that actually grows a business — speed, SEO, branding and conversions — custom-built wins. Found gives you custom-built without the usual big upfront price.
