Mini programs play an extraordinary role in attracting customers, and the functionality of mini programs on different platforms has been significantly improved. This is undoubtedly a good thing for many newcomers who want to start a business through mini programs, but a difficult problem facing newcomers is: is it better to make mini programs through customized development, or to use the mini program templates provided by the platform?

1. What are the characteristics of customized mini-programs? What are the drawbacks?
First of all, as the name suggests, customized mini program means making a mini program almost from scratch. The workload for customized development of mini programs changes with our requirements for the functionality of the mini programs. For customized mini programs, we can seek technical support through outsourcing studios, mini program development platforms, personal development, etc.
The charge for customizing a mini program will definitely be several times or even dozens of times higher than that for developing a mini program template, but the functionality gained in exchange for the high price is also a matter of opinion. Most of the mini programs are customized for enterprises or large Internet marketing companies and teams, and they are developed to meet the intelligent interactive functions required by the company and team. The disadvantage is that the production cycle of a customized mini program is much longer than that of a mini program development . The charges are high and the actual user experience of the finished product does not meet expectations, etc.
2. What are the characteristics of mini program template development? What are its disadvantages?
Developing mini programs through mini program templates is currently a popular development model. Mini program templates are generally provided by Internet mini program development platforms, and platforms such as Keman Mini Program provide free mini program templates for everyone. The platform has designed thousands of mini-program templates for different industries and scenarios. You can combine them according to your needs and DIY your own mini-program!
Regarding mini program template development, the development cycle will be much shorter. But we are concerned about its disadvantages. First of all, its functionality has certain limitations, and we can only make choices based on the functions provided by the platform. Secondly, different platforms have different capabilities and qualifications for developing mini-program templates, and the user experience of mini-programs on different platforms is likely to vary greatly.
3. How to choose for newcomers?

Having said so much, for those who are new to mini-program production, how should they choose between these two scenarios? We need to make a choice based on our own needs. First, we need to see if we have any special function requirements, and whether there are specific requirements and confidentiality mechanisms for the management and use of the mini program, and whether we need to build our own server to interact with customer information. If your needs can be met on the template development platform, then do not choose customized development of the mini program. Otherwise, you should choose customized development.
