Templates vs Custom Websites
About this episode
In the first episode of 2020, Matt and Mike discuss the differences between templates and custom websites. Digging into whether you should be using templates to quickly spin up websites for customers, or engineering custom websites from scratch. This all of course depends on your skill level, how busy your schedule is, and what your customer's needs are. After all that we jump into our Web News, which focuses on types of CMS and how to determine which one to use. There are basically two types (at a high level) of CMS - one with a full page builder where users can customize a lot of what's on their website - the other with a more guided experience that has users filling in forms that will automatically generate web pages as needed.
