According to me… personally built websites always win.
Not because templates or AI are bad, they’re useful.
But when someone actually understands the brand, the users, the tiny interactions, the spacing, the copy and how everything should feel, you can tell.
The best websites don’t look like they were assembled from the same 20 components everyone else is using.
They feel intentional.
I’d rather build something a little slower and make it feel like it genuinely belongs to the business than ship another website that looks “technically good” but completely forgettable.
Curious what designers here think ,custom build or templates?

While working on a website, I explored two different approaches for the header design. Same brand, same content, just a different feel and interaction style.

Option 2 - Modern

Thank you. I look forward to your response
POV: Your project needed a cool and unique slider for their benefits.
