It’s never been easier to build a decent-looking website. Platforms like Squarespace, Wix, and Webflow offer beautiful templates and user-friendly editors. But if your goal is to build a memorable brand, a template just won’t cut it.

The Problem with Templates

Templates are designed to appeal to the largest number of people. That makes them visually appealing but completely generic. When every small business, freelancer, or agency in your niche uses the same layout or style, customers can’t tell you apart.

This is a huge problem in markets like Australia, where local recognition and brand trust are crucial. You don’t want people to say, “Oh, I think I’ve seen that website before,” when they’re actually thinking of a competitor.

Branding Is More Than Colours and Fonts

Real branding is the full emotional and psychological experience someone has with your business. It’s in the tone of your writing, the animations on your site, the way your forms behave, and how the design responds to different devices.

Platforms like Webflow offer more design freedom than Wix or Squarespace, but even then, you’re often working within a fixed system. If you want something truly unique, you need code.
