WHAT IS BESPOKE DEVELOPMENT?
Bespoke design and bespoke website development is a form of coding without using open source platforms such as WordPress, Drupal or Magento. Our developers are skilled and practiced in .php, Laravel, C#, jQuery, AJAX and Javascript – and our technical team has full knowledge of SQL, mySQL and MSSQL.
Sometimes our client’s ideas go beyond the capabilities of pre-built platforms. Envious Digital will write a clear technical specification detailing the functionality so our technical team knows exactly what they need to produce.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BESPOKE & PLATFORM BASED?
Bespoke development means the end product is totally unique and doesn’t rely on open-source platforms. This is important when stakeholders require the business to own the IP (intellectual property) fully. It also could be that the functionality required hasn’t ever been created before. Even though functionality can be similar to another project, the use case scenario is rarely identical – and the only way to achieve the desired result is to have a bespoke piece of software written instead.
Open-sourced platforms used to develop websites often use themes and plugins to ‘construct’ the site. Although we are able to be unique in our design, it can sometimes be restrictive to develop on open-sourced platforms. When the brief comes to us and there are complex integrations and ‘unusual’ functionality requests, we would tend to recommend bespoke development. Although this will typically take longer to produce, we have full control over what we create and can avoid compatibility issues across various elements of the site.
