Summary

Custom design ≠ custom development—and knowing the difference could completely change how your website performs. In this episode, we’re joined by Lindsay, founder of Made to Thrive, to unpack what’s really happening behind the scenes of your site and why it might be holding you back as you scale. We’re diving into the key differences between design and development, when templates are enough, and the real signs it’s time to invest in a fully custom-built website. If your site feels more “held together” than built to grow, this conversation is going to click.
