Unfortunately, we\u2019ve also seen deception where a professional web design company sells a custom website, but then delivers a website based off a $59.00 WordPress template or theme. In that case the business owner can\u2019t figure out why they are not getting results. Sadly, we\u2019ve seen businesses spend thousands on websites based on inexpensive themes thinking they were getting a custom design.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
On the surface a WordPress template seems like a great deal. You\u2019re getting a nice looking layout that should work directly on top of a no-cost content management system. In theory, it\u2019s all the benefits of a custom web design job without the expense.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The big issue here is that web templates are made quickly and for a generic audience. As a result, they are stuffed full of apps, plug-ins, fonts, and options that most customers just won\u2019t need. That leaves a lot of extra code just sitting in the background of the website. You could think of it as the digital equivalent of a meal with far too many courses.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
You might think that extra code doesn\u2019t matter if you aren\u2019t using it, but you would be wrong. It takes up space on your website, runs in the background, and limits what you can do in terms of customization.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
At a minimum, all that extra code is going to slow down your pages a lot. In fact, it could take several extra seconds for your site to load for visitors \u2013 more than enough time for them to decide to take their time and money elsewhere.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Numerous studies and surveys have shown that potential customers will leave a website after a few seconds if it doesn\u2019t load, but slow pages could actually be the least of your problems.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Extra and unnecessary code on your website can cause a variety of issues, up to and including software and browser conflicts, page crashes, error messages, and even data security problems. In fact, all that code could actually break your website, forcing you to spend even more money to try to repair your web presence or port your content into a new design.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The worst part about WordPress template debacles is that they are completely unnecessary. You simply don\u2019t have to spend a great deal of time and money to get a web presence that is unique, meets your performance standards, and helps your company to grow. You just have to find a creative firm with a reputation for delivering value.<\/p>\n
