Custom Website Design
Most sites don't need a custom build — a well-configured platform is faster and cheaper. This is for the ones that genuinely do: unusual interactions, non-standard content models, or performance requirements a template can't hit. I'll tell you honestly if you don't need this tier.
What you get
DELIVERABLES
- Custom front-end build with no page-builder constraints
- Bespoke interaction and animation design where it earns its place
- Component-based build for a design system that scales with you
- Performance engineering to genuinely fast load times, not just a Lighthouse score
- Headless CMS integration where content needs outgrow a template
- Documentation so a future developer isn't starting from zero
How it runs
THE PROCESS
Scope
Confirm this actually needs a custom build — the honest answer is sometimes no.
Design
Full custom visual design and an interaction spec, not a themed template.
Build
Hand-coded front end, component by component, reviewed against the spec.
Launch
Performance and cross-browser QA, then a documented handover.
Questions
GOOD QUESTIONS
If you can describe the exact interaction or layout you want and a platform genuinely can't do it — that's the signal. If it's mostly about looking unique, a strong design on a platform usually gets there for less.
Yes, meaningfully — you're paying for engineering time a template absorbs elsewhere. Worth it when the requirement is real, wasteful otherwise.
Either your own developer or a retainer with me — a custom build needs someone who understands the code, unlike a platform site any competent freelancer can pick up.
