Should I Use Templates or Build My Web App From Scratch?

I prefer building from scratch since I like understanding everything that goes into my code. That said, if it's something I’ve done before, running with a template is cool too. Just feels good to know how everything works beneath the surface.

For personal projects, I usually grab a template. Why waste time on something I’m not too passionate about? But in my professional work, I often get designs sent from clients that don't really match general templates. That said, the quality of templates varies widely, and some of them can be a nightmare to work with! You're right to consider this carefully.

I built my own template and use it as a starting point for client projects. It allows for easy customization without bloating my code base with unnecessary stuff. It’s a great way to marry flexibility with efficiency!

We created our own template that’s super flexible. It's worked well for about 80% of our client projects, and nobody realizes it's a basic template. This kind of adaptability is really beneficial.

It really depends on your budget! If you're tight on cash, templates can save you a lot of time and effort. But if you have the funds, you might get a more customized outcome by building from the ground up.
