The Disadvantages of Custom Code

A Large Portion of Custom Coding Isn't Necessary
Web development companies generally conceal better solutions for what you're trying to accomplish. The most sought after web functionality can be obtained by directly using or combining pre-coded web solutions. These web solutions are typically available at a far more cost-effective price-point, and with a far shorter project life cycle to implement.

Custom Code Takes A Long Time To Properly Test
Web development companies don't want you to know that custom coded applications can take a very long time to properly test to ensure that all the bugs are worked out and that the application will perform as desired. This is where pre-coded solutions have a significant advantage as they have a track record with months and often years of testing.

Custom Code Can Be Costly To Maintain
Web development companies don't want you to know that their custom coded solutions means that you will be coming back to them over and over again to keep it working and the true cost will be much more than the original outlay. Software does not work in a vacuum. Applications are dependent on other software and protocols that are constantly changing.

Custom Coded Applications Can't Be Moved To Any Web Hosting Company
Web development companies don't want you to know that once you host your custom coded web application with them, your website can't be moved to another company. Many times, you're stuck with the original web development company because their custom built application can only work with their specially configured servers. This means that their web hosting costs can continually escalate along with their maintenance fees and there's nothing you can do about it.

Custom Coded Applications Can't Always Be Continued By Other Developers
Web development companies don't want you to know that once they custom code something for you, it's not always feasible for another developer to continue on with the development. Typically the custom coded solution is so complex, that only the original developers can understand it well enough to program any future modifications.
