As a freelance custom web developer, I build custom-coded websites around your business, users, and technical needs without relying on a traditional CMS or pre-built website builder.

Custom Web Development
When Does Custom Web Development Make Sense?
Not every website needs custom development. WordPress, Shopify, Wix, or other platforms can be a better choice for many projects. I recommend custom development when your requirements go beyond what these platforms can handle efficiently.

-
01
Discovery & Requirements
I learn about your business, users, website goals, required features, and technical requirements before development begins.
-
02
Planning & Structure
I plan the website structure, functionality, integrations, and user journey based on the project requirements.
-
03
Design & Development
I design and develop your custom website with responsive layouts, clean functionality, and your required features.
-
04
Testing, Launch & Support
I test the website for responsiveness, performance, functionality, and key integrations before launch.
Which Approach Do You Need?
Custom Development vs CMS Which One Do You Need?
A custom-coded website is not always the right choice. The best approach depends on your website requirements, functionality, budget, and how you plan to manage the site after launch.
Unique features and specific requirements
Business websites, blogs, and standard functionality
Greater control over code and functionality
Flexible within the platform and available tools
Can require a custom editing system
Built-in dashboard for content updates
Custom API and system integrations
Plugins, apps, and supported integrations
Requires development support when needed
CMS, theme, and plugin updates may be required
Can be developed around future requirements
Depends on the platform and website setup
If a CMS such as WordPress is a better fit for your project, I’ll recommend it instead of suggesting custom development unnecessarily.
