“Netbound built our website, our iPhone app and the payments behind both. Four months after launch, Glowa had 1,000 users and $25k in bookings. They are very resourceful, communicative and kind, and have exceeded my expectations throughout the whole process. They supported me through the process and even recommended features that elevated the app and brought in new users.”
“Working with Netbound was an absolute pleasure. They delivered a stunning, custom website for WIRED that perfectly captures our society's vision. The attention to detail and responsiveness exceeded all expectations.”
“My experience with Netbound has been nothing but excellent due to their professionalism and transparency. They're the missing piece of your puzzle, allowing you to curate the best website using the service they provide.”

Custom websites or template builders?
Compare how each option handles your pages, enquiries or bookings, editing and ongoing costs. The right choice depends on the work your website needs to do and who will maintain it.
Both approaches can launch a website. The difference is how much control and support you need afterwards.
Custom website
Useful when your content, enquiry or booking paths and integrations need a tailored structure. Check ownership and handover in the supplier agreement: Netbound handover requires written agreement under our terms.
Template builder
Useful when speed and a familiar starting point matter more than flexibility. The trade-off can be working around preset layouts, features and platform constraints.
What to check before choosing
Can the structure explain your offer clearly to the people you want to reach?
Will the site remain fast and accessible as content grows?
Can it connect to the tools your business already uses?
Who will maintain it when platforms, content and customer expectations change?
Does the pricing model make sense for your cash flow and stage?
Neither is automatically better. A template can be useful for a simple starting point, while custom work gives more control over structure, brand, integrations and future changes.
Does custom mean an expensive upfront project?
Not with Netbound. Plans start from A$49 per month, your first 30 days are free and there is no upfront build fee.
How should I choose?
Start with your goals, customers and required integrations. Choose the approach that supports those needs without adding unnecessary complexity.
