How to choose a custom applet and a template applet

Customization or template to make a small program, which should be decided according to its own situation, from the following points to analyze.

1. According to what you can bear

Customization method: It usually takes 20,000 yuan to start, the development cycle is 3-6 months, and the maintenance fee is still required every year after the development is completed.

Template method: usually 3000-6000, the online time is about 3 days, because the functions have been developed, and the functions are still being updated, in our platform only about 1000 yuan can make a very powerful applet.

2. According to their own business needs

If your own enterprise has financial strength, or your own industry is very niche and cannot find a solution in the market, you can only recruit a technical team or choose an outsourcing company for customized development.

If the funds are limited, their own industries are common, such as retail, education, fresh food, catering, hotels, reservation services and other industries, because the applicability of the mini program platform is relatively wide, and directly using templates to develop is currently the most affordable and reliable way.

Hope it helps

Good applets are definitely custom-made!

Let's discuss them in detail one by one:

1. The templates are all customized and developed based on the original business logic, and then packaged to form the products.

In other words, the predecessor of the template was developed based on a business scenario. But will someone else's business be exactly the same as yours? There will be some differences, and the style and promotion of the product may be different.

If you also use other people's templates to do your own business, you may end up giving people the feeling that you don't have a bull's head, and it is impossible for users not to see that the template can be recognized at a glance, but it makes users feel distrustful.

Second, only customization can be highly matched with their own product design style.

Every company is different, and every company has its own product style, its own company culture. If a small program cannot inherit the company's product genes, it will not look like a part of the company, and it cannot integrate the soul of the company into it. There is also customization, so that you can realize a small program that belongs to you, instead of forcibly changing the name and saying that it is yours.

3. The experience and startup speed of the Mini Program.

Template applets, in order to accept more customers and more industries, often make a bunch of functions to attract people. And this bunch of features is not necessarily what you want, it is precisely this bunch of features that may occupy a lot of memory on your phone, causing lag. And the general template company, what they want is quick realization, and they will not optimize the mini program for customers at all.

Therefore, often the experience of a template applet is relatively poor, and it is also cheaper.

Good applets are definitely custom-made!

Fourth, the fit between the functional module and the business

Even if it is a common business such as e-commerce and shopping applets. There may also be differences. For example:

Do I need to pay a deposit? Is it possible to bargain and pay later? Do you support refunds?

Do you support group formation? Forcibly applying the business logic of the template to your own company may cause an unsmooth experience.

5. Whether it is necessary to split multiple Mini Programs

In the template applet, there must be a combination of multiple functions, which can easily affect the performance and experience. Mini Programs produced by large companies often develop multiple Mini Programs, and each Mini Program only undertakes one of the businesses, so the overall experience will be much better than that of a Mini Program. Of course, this will increase some of the development workload.

6. The design of the template is for Party A, and the customized design is for Party A's customers.

In order to realize the technology, the template company will definitely take whether it can be sold as the first priority, and it will never do in-depth thinking for Party A's business. The customized mini program is different, it is to think about the problem in the same position as Party A, to provide solutions for Party A, and to think about the design for Party A's users.

Mini Programs have an unusual effect on customer drainage, 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 in front of newcomers is: is it better to make Mini Programs through custom development, or to use them through the Mini Program templates provided by the platform?

1. What are the features of the Custom Mini Program? What are the drawbacks?

First of all, the custom applet can literally be understood to be almost a mini program from 0. The workload for the customized development of Mini Programs changes with our requirements for the functionality of Mini Programs. For customized Mini Programs, we can seek technical support through outsourcing studios, Mini Program development platforms, personal development, etc.

Compared with the development of the Mini Program template, the fee for customizing the Mini Program will definitely be several times or even more than ten times higher, but the functional characteristics of the high in exchange are also the opinions of the benevolent and the wise, and most of the Mini Program customization is for enterprises or large Internet marketing companies and teams, in order to meet the needs of the company and the team to develop intelligent interactive functions. The disadvantage is that the production cycle of customized Mini Programs is much longer than that of Mini Program template development. The fee is high, and the actual finished product experience does not meet expectations.

2. What are the characteristics of Mini Program template development? What are the drawbacks?

The development of Mini Programs through Mini Program templates is currently a popular development model for everyone, and Mini Program templates generally have Internet Mini Program development platforms to provide for everyone, and for example, platforms like full Mini Programs are provided for everyone to provide free Mini Program templates. The platform has designed thousands of mini program templates for different industries and different scenarios, and you can combine them at will according to your own needs to DIY your own mini program!

Regarding the development of Mini Program templates, the development cycle will be much shorter. But we pay attention to its drawbacks, first of all, it has certain limitations in functionality, and we can only choose according to the functions given by the platform. The second is that different platforms have different capabilities and qualifications for the development of Mini Program templates, and the experience of using Mini Programs on different platforms is prone to large differences.

3. How to choose for newcomers?

Having said all this, for newcomers to Mini Program production, how should they choose these two scenarios? We need to make a choice according to our own needs, first of all, we see whether we have requirements for special functions, and whether there are specific requirements and confidentiality mechanisms for the management and use of Mini Programs, and whether we need to build our own servers to interact with customer information. If your needs can be met in the template development platform, then do not choose the custom development of the applet, but choose the custom development instead.

WeChat applet is another promotion project of the WeChat ecosystem, APP needs to be high, the cost is higher, and customer acceptance may not be so high, unless you have a great preferential activity, ** is the carrier of the applet, and the applet will be more acceptable to the public, so if you are a business, I recommend you to do a small program, and recommend a small program to you, you have to have a store with powerful functions, simple operation, and now it is free.

There is basically no difference between customization and Mini Program templates, and many Mini Program templates are better than those made by custom development. Many Mini Program templates have complete functions, which can basically meet the needs of most users, unless you need to build a super large Mini Program**, otherwise, you generally do not need to customize, and the Mini Program template is enough.

My understanding is that the universality of custom applets is small.

The template applet has a wide applicability, and adding some customization is a custom applet.

What is the difference between the mini program template and the lack of customization, for example, let everyone understand it in a clear and clear way, for example, if you go out for lunch at noon and enter a shop where you can choose your own finished dishes or stir-fry, the small program template is those that you can choose your own finished dishes; The customized development of the applet is the freshly fried, and it should be done according to the customer's wishes and tastes.

Therefore, the Mini Program template is to make the Mini Program from the Mini Program template library that has been developed; The customized development of Mini Programs needs to sort out the specific functional needs of customers before development, and there are three main differences between the two:

1. The development time is different: the Mini Program template can be quickly launched, and the customized development time of the Mini Program is relatively long.

2. Development is different: Generally speaking, custom development is much more expensive than the development of small program templates.

3. Whether to deliver the source**: The Mini Program template only has the right to use and does not deliver the source**; Mini Program custom development will deliver the source**.

The above is the main difference between Mini Program templates and customization, I hope it can help you

Whether it is the source code or the template, the small programs they make are the same in one fell swoop, and there is no difference in function, interface and operation, which is what they have in common.

In the market, the source code of the applet is generally developed by designation, and the applet company is commissioned to write ** and programs, and the template usually refers to the SaaS system, that is, the third-party applet platform, with a large number of built-in finished templates, and the mouse can be dragged and dropped to complete the construction, and there is no ** in the whole process.

Many merchants and enterprises will be entangled in the problem of source code and templates, in fact, we can analyze through the three major directions of future trends, cost efficiency, and time and energy.

1. Future trends:

Although there is still a market for the customized development of source code Mini Programs, many domestic companies engaged in the custom development of source code have begun to suffer continuous losses in 2023.

BecauseSource code Mini Programs are costlyLong cycle, andLater maintenance needs to be carried out by techniciansIn this era of faster and faster social pace, it has become more and more difficult to develop sustainably.

2. Cost efficiency

A third-party applet development platform can helpUsers with non-technical backgrounds can quickly create Mini Programs, reducing development costs and time, and broadening the user base.

The SaaS model can provide stable services, continuous updates and technical support, and provide users with one-stop solutionsRapid growth, the SaaS system has a largerMarket potential

3. Time and energy

After the source code of the Mini Program is delivered by the Mini Program company, it will generally not be modified frequently** and provide high-frequency technical services.

An update policy will be postedNotification of modification of the rule

If you don't understand it, merchants and enterprises are often at a loss when they are notified of changing the rules after getting the source code. Moreover, the current era is in the big cycle of technological update, and the source code delivered in 2023 will most likely begin to be phased out in 2025.

For the SaaS system of the third-party program platform, the platform will be constantly updated, iterated, and launchedNew technologyNEW FEATURESNew marketingand the new interface, the function can be used with one click synchronization, without the need for merchants and enterprises to modify the programming**.

There is a big difference between the templates provided by the Mini Program production platform and the customized ones. Closed key fiercely.

1, whether there is source code, the production platform does not provide the source code, development and maintenance is carried out by the platform Fang Liangshan, generally paid annually, the fee is very cheap, a payment can be free to continue to have continuous updates, very suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, even if you give the source code, it is useless to hold the source ** without knowing how to program, and it is the source code that will not be continuously updated.

Baizan Mini Program Production Platform provides a lot of templates and many marketing functions to choose from, visual drag-and-drop production, and you can quickly launch Mini Program**.

Multiple templates. 2. **Different, custom-developed **generally from 50,000.

3. The development time is different, and the general car bridge of the small program production platform can be launched in just a few days, which can quickly verify the market and trial and error.

From a functional point of view:

Template development: Many of the functions of template development are designed and developed according to the characteristics of the industry. Although it can meet the needs of daily operation, because it is designed and developed according to the characteristics of the industry, it is easy to have too many useless functions, but the required functions are missing.

Template development: The functions of template development are often developed separately according to the marketing needs, operation management needs and user operation needs of the enterprise. Since it is determined after a detailed analysis, not only are the functions not missing, but they can also be used.

Analyze from a page design perspective.

Template development: Since template development is based on industry templates, the page design style of the entire Mini Program is designed according to the characteristics of the industry. In this way, the characteristics of the enterprise and the selling point of the product cannot be well reflected.

Customized development: The page design of template development is individually designed according to the industry, enterprise characteristics, product selling points and other aspects of the enterprise. Because it is designed after a detailed analysis, it can well reflect the characteristics of the enterprise and the selling point of the product.

Analyzed from a sustainability perspective.

Template development: Since template development is based on industry templates, it is easy to be limited by templates, resulting in the inability to upgrade and optimize in the later stage.

Customized development: The development of the fixed calendar stove system Mini Program will take into account the future upgrade and optimization, so for enterprises, if they choose a customized version of the Mini Program, whether it is upgraded or redesigned in the future, there is no constraint.

Which type is good?

According to the follow-up feedback and surveys of previous customers, most customers believe that custom-developed Mini Programs are more advantageous than template-developed Mini Programs. Therefore, it is recommended that all enterprises, under the premise of conditions permitting, should try to choose customized development.
