Graham wrote: » You have an original design that is specific to you, your requirements, your target market and your future plans. Only you can decide which is appropriate for your business. If you're a one-man plumbing operation, a custom site is probably going to be OTT for your needs. If you're a reasonable sized recruitment agency you'll probably be looking for something more than a basic web presence or vanilla CMS.

Graham wrote: » I wouldn't say there's no way, it's just less likely. Without knowing what custom elements you're specifically looking for it's next to impossible to say. I'm guessing you have some requirements that you think can only be met with a custom solution. If you can share them you might get some more specific suggestions.
