Ready-made business website or custom design: how to decide

Small businesses often get two kinds of offers for a website: a page builder they have to fill in themselves, or a custom design project. There is a third route: a website already designed for your sector, with the pages and forms your kind of business needs, delivered with your details in place.

Kaviasoft makes these as ready-made websites: 124 themes across 38 sectors, from dental clinics and real estate to restaurants, hotels and law firms. This guide helps you decide whether that route fits you.

What "made for your sector" means

A generic template gives you a hero, three columns and a contact form. A sector website starts from what your visitors come to do:

• a clinic visitor wants treatments, doctors and an appointment form;
• a hotel guest wants rooms, photos and a reservation request;
• a real estate buyer wants listings and a way to ask about one.

Each sector page on our site, such as clinic websites or real estate websites, shows the themes for that sector with their page count and forms.

When a ready-made website is enough

• Your business works like others in your sector: services, team, prices or packages, contact.
• You want the site live soon, not after weeks of design rounds.
• You want to change texts and photos yourself, without calling a developer.
• You need more than one language: every ready-made site comes in Turkish, English and Russian.

When to choose custom design

• Your site is your product, for example an online service with accounts and payments.
• You need integrations a sector site does not have, such as a booking engine or a CRM.
• Your brand needs a visual identity that no theme can carry.

For those cases we build custom software and websites instead.

What to check before you buy any ready-made site

Whoever you buy from, ask these questions:

• Can I edit it myself? Our sites come with a panel where you change texts and photos.
• How is the panel protected? Ours stores the panel password as a salted scrypt hash, protects panel requests against CSRF and limits sign-in attempts per IP.
• Is the form protected from spam? Our contact forms are rate-limited per IP.
• Are there backups? Panel actions are logged and the last 50 content versions are kept.
• What about HTTPS? It depends on the server the site runs on; ask who sets it up.

The full list is on our security page, in the ready-made websites section.

How it works

Pick a theme on the ready sites page, filter by sector, color, style or menu type, and ask for the demo link. Send us your business details and you receive your site with them in place. After that, the panel is yours. If you are not sure which theme fits, tell us about your business.
