What are the advantages of a 'Hand-Coded' website?
-
Smaller Files
By hand writing all of the scripts, there is no 'junk' code, whereas web site generating programs have lots of useless scraps which increase the file size.
More Search Engine Friendly
Search engine crawlers have a much easier time reading through hand written code than computer generated code.
More Personalized Results
Because we don't have to choose from a limited number of techniques to get things accomplished, each solution is custom tailored to perfectly solve the problem.
The Latest Technologies
Because we don't have to wait for any sort of software update, we are always using the latest and greatest scripting technologies
Accessibility
Websites which are hand coded can more easily be cross browser compatible. Plus, hand scripted sites are easier to read for programs which assist the physically challenged.
Easy to Update
If, for whatever reason, you want to use someone else to modify the work we've done (have a friend update your website perhaps), it is much easier to start working on a man made script than it is to try to modify computer generated dribble.
