Why do small businesses move away from all-in-one platforms as they grow? The answer is they start to hit limitations that become increasingly impactful on day to day operations. These limitations range all the way from scalability, flexibility, integrations and SEO, to ownership.
Custom development for small business, as a matter of principle, takes a long term view of an individual business, something that all-in-one’s just cannot do. Understanding the direction in which the business wants to move, what the short, medium and longer term plans are means that solutions can be designed to align with a business. Understanding a business is key to developing great digital products.
Web development is so much more than “just a website”, it’s an array of web based technologies that can be moulded and shaped to the exacting needs of a business. All-in-one platforms are built around a pre-defined set of limited options, custom development unlocks a veritable treasure trove of possibilities to fully support businesses as they grow.
