Are ready-made templates really cheaper in the long run? — answered by Engineer Saeed Baatiah
Cheaper at the start, not always cheaper later. A ready template is entirely appropriate when your need is standard and you do not intend to add special logic. But once you need a feature the template was not designed for, bending it costs more than building it from scratch, because you are fighting a structure you did not choose. The rule: a template for a brochure site and a blog, a custom build for any system carrying your company’s own business rules.
