Affordable web design: How semi-custom websites work

Table of Contents

If you’re looking for affordable web design, you’ve probably realised that building a custom website can quickly become expensive. But what if you could get a high-quality, professional website without the hefty price tag? This is where semi-custom websites come in. It’s still a fairly new concept to a lot of people but it’s a fantastic happy medium option for business owners who want a professional website at an affordable price point.

What Is a Semi-Custom Website?

A semi-custom website is a cost-effective alternative to fully custom-built websites. Instead of starting from scratch, a professional web designer customises a pre-designed template to suit your business’s branding, content, and goals. This approach blends affordability with professionalism, ensuring you get a website that looks great without the high cost of a custom build. The templates we use are often designed by us as well, so we know them from the inside-out and can make custom changes or additions if you want.

Why is Semi-Custom the Best Affordable Web Design Option?

Lower Cost Without Compromising Quality

A fully custom website can cost thousands of dollars, but a semi-custom website is typically half the price. My custom websites start at $5,500 and take around one month to complete. A semi-custom website costs $2,750 and takes a little over one week to complete. By working with an existing design, you save on development costs while still getting a polished, professional site.

Saves You Time and Effort

Instead of spending hours trying to DIY your website, a semi-custom design allows you to focus on running your business while a professional handles the setup. No complicated software, no endless troubleshooting—just a streamlined process from start to finish.

Professional Look Without the DIY Struggles

DIY website builders can be limiting and often lead to amateur-looking results. A semi-custom website is crafted by an experienced designer, ensuring a polished and visually appealing final product.

Less Risk, More Control

One of the biggest fears of investing in a website is not knowing how it will turn out. With a semi-custom site, you get to choose a template you like beforehand, so you already have an idea of how your website will look. No surprises—just a smooth, stress-free experience.

Affordable Web Design AND Branding in One Complete Package

This is less common and not something I’ve seen in any other semi-custom website package: Not only do I offer semi-custom websites, but I also include basic branding in my service. This means you don’t need to hire a separate designer or attempt to DIY your logo and colour scheme. Everything is bundled together in my semi-custom website package, giving you a cohesive, professional online presence with minimal effort on your part.

If you’re a small business owner, startup, or entrepreneur looking for an affordable yet high-quality web presence, a semi-custom website is an excellent option. You get the expertise of a professional designer, a stylish and functional website, and basic branding—all without breaking the bank.
