Typically 2-5x more than a template, but the ROI over 2-3 years is 5-10x higher in additional leads, sales, and brand value.

Can a template website rank on Google?

Yes, but it is harder. Templates are often bloated with code, slower, and less SEO-friendly. Custom sites give you a significant competitive advantage in search rankings.
