Getting Started with Custom Web Development

This is a placeholder post proving the blog route works end to end — routing, frontmatter parsing, and MDX rendering. Replace this content with a real article before publishing.

Why custom development

A template gets you online fast, but it also gets everyone else online with the same layout, the same limitations, and the same ceiling on what you can build later. Custom development means the site is shaped around how your business actually works, not the other way around.

What this means in practice

• Faster pages, because there's no unused framework bloat
• A design that matches your brand exactly, not a re-skinned theme
• Room to add features later without fighting the platform
