In the current scenario of digital world making a website has been extremely easy. Even a layman can own a website and start making business on the internet. There are ample of open source ecommerce platforms are available, however, biggies are not running after these open source CMS platform such as Drupal, Joomla, Magento, Shopify and WordPress etc. However, the small businesses have been still pursuing web business by dint of open source CMS such as Drupal and WordPress. Though these platforms help saving hefty amount of money, it does not offer you spectacular business achievement in the long run.

Let’s discuss why the big companies don’t believe in developing websites by the open source technology and 3rd party software.

You will almost rarely find that the big companies have outsourced their ecommerce activities to the 3rd party companies. For instance, the Amazon and Wal-Mart have not outsourced their web development activities to the third party vendor.

The big portals generally don’t go to the third party agency due to security measures. If you develop a site with the help of Drupal or WordPress your business is likely to be vulnerable. Your website may get hacked at any point of time due to plugins you have been using. When you are dependent on the open source software your website will not loading faster creating heavy bounce rate which is not a good symbol for your business.

However, the self-coding website can load faster than you imagine. You can customize your web portal when you develop the site with the language such as php and asp.net etc. The open source CMS such as Drupal, magento, WordPress, Joomla and Shopify cannot bring such customization. You have to be dependent on the theme and plugin etc. If you are outsourcing your web development work to the web design agency in Mumbai, you need to have basic knowledge else they can create the website with the help of free CMS and tell you it is customized.

The custom-made website can have multiple functionalities which is not possible in the field of using Drupal and WordPress like software. The self-coding website can be extremely expensive while the open source CMS can be cheaper. The customized website can take a lot of time to develop while you can launch a website within day or two by means of the third party CMS.

Though the custom based website is expensive, it is secure, light-weight and can be highly successful so far as digital business is concerned. The custom web portal can be changed at any moment after the development, while, the third party website cannot be changed as you want at any point of time. The third party sites cannot be changed. You have to change the complete theme and buy the new theme. However, it is also impossible to know the functionalities of the open source CMS theme before buying.

If you have a business and you are eager to develop a portal then it is very important that you have your in-house development team who can develop your website as per your convenience. You can also outsource your work to the digital marketing company in Mumbai if your business is confined to Mumbai the financial capital of India.
