However, few provide custom coding options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, there are options available. For example, WordPress is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, CMS. Installing a unique and user-friendly theme paired with custom coding can produce an impressive website, allowing you to turn prospective customers into the most loyal of clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog post will discuss more on custom coding within WordPress. Moreover, I will also discuss the downsides of other content management systems, including Squarespace and Wix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-website-builder-options-are-out-there\">What website builder options are out there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned previously, there are various website builders out there. However, traditional website building options, such as Wix and Squarespace, provide limited design options. But this is to be expected. After all, it is still a website builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyways, other website builder options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Weebly<\/li><li>Shopify<\/li><li>Zyro<\/li><li>Bigcommerce<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other alternatives out there too.

However, as with all content management systems, there are a few downsides, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>coding can be challenging to learn (if doing it yourself)<\/li><li>You will need to source your own hosting<\/li><li>If custom code is to become broken, it can be more difficult and expensive to fix&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, the benefits of custom coding and a WordPress design far outweigh the cons, providing you with the tools to create a unique, responsive, and successful\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jarodthornton.com\/2021\/08\/10\/why-does-user-experience-matter-in-web-design\/\">web design<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-to-conclude\">To conclude&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a new website that offers custom coding, then look no further than a custom website design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details, you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jarodthornton.com\/contact\/\">contact me here<\/a>.
