There’s two ways to build a website:
custom vs template.
Not all websites are created equal. Below you will find the pros and the cons between a custom design and a templated design.
Custom Websites

SEO friendly.
Your website will tend to rank higher on a search engine.
Full support from the designer/developer who built it.
Cons
It’s more expensive than a template. It’s an investment.
Process to design + develop takes longer since everything is built around your brand/services.
Templated Website
Pros
Templates are good for tight/low budgets.
Good option for those who do not know web programming, but need a website.
Fast and easy.
Cons
A lot of other websites will be using the same template which means your website is not unique to your brand/services.
User functionality is very limited.
Not all templates are SEO friendly.
You are limited on how much you can actually customize. You’re stuck with what you get.
Conclusion
It all comes down to your business needs and personal preferences.
