The Template Trap
Templates promise speed. Pick a theme, swap the logo, launch by Friday. And sure — it works. Until the client asks for something the template didn’t anticipate.
At TechTailors, every site is hand-coded from scratch. Not because we enjoy suffering, but because every business has unique needs that deserve unique solutions.
Performance You Can Measure
A hand-coded Astro site on Cloudflare’s edge network loads in under 100ms for most visitors. Templates carry the weight of features you’ll never use — carousels nobody clicks, libraries that add 200KB to parse a date.
We ship only what matters: semantic HTML, scoped CSS, progressive enhancement. Your visitors notice the difference even if they can’t name it.
Run a Lighthouse audit on any TechTailors site. We hold a perfect 100 across all four categories — Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO.
Ownership From Day One
When we write every line, there’s no black box. The code is yours. If you ever leave TechTailors, your site comes with you — no reverse-engineering, no vendor lock-in, no dependencies on a theme marketplace that might disappear.
That’s the hand-coded difference: faster sites, cleaner code, and genuine ownership.
