Things to Consider when Customizing your website
Before investing into a customized WordPress solution you would want to consider the following questions:
- As your business grows, how do you anticipate your needs changing? You want to ensure that the solution you select will accommodate growth.
- Are there plugins available that can support your custom needs? Adapting an existing product to your needs can be much cheaper than writing your own equivalent.
- Who is going to support your custom code long term? You would want to ensure that your developer will be there for you in the future if the customized solution needs to be updated or expanded.
