Now, in comparison to hiring a web designer that will cost thousands of dollars and will take months to be made, using web building tools is an inexpensive and relatively time-saving option.
A new and upcoming business with a new and yet unproven concept is suited more for web building tools rather than a custom website.
For a hobbyist or a blogger, a web-building tool is an optimal solution for creating a website. If your blog catches on or your audience grows, you can always make a custom website later.
At the end of the day, it comes down to costs and expenses. Ask yourself, is a custom website worth your time and investment? Do you lose money not having a custom website while your competitors do? Do you even need a custom website? Can you make a suitable website on your own? Can a self-made website fulfill your needs?
Your answer to these questions will determine whether you should go for a custom website or make one yourself.
