FAQ
What is the difference between a custom-coded website and a website builder?
A custom-coded website is built from scratch to your exact requirements — no templates, no platform constraints. Builders like Wix, Squarespace, or Webflow offer pre-built frameworks that are faster to set up but limit design freedom, performance, and scalability. Custom code gives full control over loading speed, animations, SEO, and every interaction on the page.
How long does it take to build a custom website?
Most projects take between 4 and 8 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and content availability. A single-service landing page can be ready faster. A multi-page site with custom animations, a headless CMS, and complex interactions takes longer. We provide a concrete project timeline during the initial consultation.
Does a custom website perform better in search engines?
Yes, significantly. Custom-coded websites consistently achieve higher Core Web Vitals scores than builder platforms. Google uses Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, and Interaction to Next Paint as ranking signals. Builders ship large JavaScript bundles regardless of page content. Custom builds ship only what each page needs, resulting in faster load times and better organic rankings.
What technologies does Blackwell Studio use for website development?
We build on Next.js and React for the frontend, TypeScript for type safety, and Tailwind CSS for styling. For animations and interactions we use Framer Motion and, where appropriate, WebGL. For content management, we integrate headless CMS solutions like Sanity. Sites are hosted on Vercel's edge network for consistent global performance.
Can I update the website content myself after launch?
Yes. For sites with a headless CMS like Sanity, you can update text, images, and pages through a visual editor without touching any code. For clients on our Website-as-a-Service subscription, content updates are included in the monthly fee and handled by our team within the agreed response time.
