What's the best way to proceed with the redesign of a healthcare website - a template site, semi-custom, or a fully custom site? 🏥 There are pros and cons to each approach; which one is best in which situation? Consider these key factors to ensure the newly designed site works effectively for both patients and the practice.

Templates: Using pre-made website templates is a fine choice for specific needs, like landing pages or small sites for promotional campaigns.

Semi-Custom: Page builders such as Elementor, Divi, Kadence, and others offer a diverse range of templates, each equipped with extensive customization features.

Custom: Custom designs may require more time and investment, but they typically deliver precisely what you desire. They also require more input from the client, as there are more decisions to be made.
