In this current stage of websites developed through third party applications, can someone give me the advantages or benefits of developing websites from scratch, that is, you do not really depend on any open source CMS. I greatly appreciate your feedback.
Simply, your site not depend on other platform.. And it looks professional if you create own site.. But I think it better if you are using framework, why? Because you only use created function, it will make you easier to create site..
Creating your own website from scratch is a hard and time consuming process. You need to know (or learn if you don't know) many things - start from HTML, JavaScript... then PHP or ASP, MySQL... not talking about all the security issues that you have to face and deal with. That are the cons of building from scratch. As blackemerald said, the independence from other platform is one of the biggest pros. The site will look professional and mostly important unique and designed in a way it will perfectly meet your current needs. But it will not be flexible, as you have to make it be. When you want to update it, every time you will have to rewrite parts of it, and sometimes this will lead to unexpected behaviour of the whole site. It is up to you to choose whether you can do all that stuff. If you decide to build it yourself, it is truly a great challenge and when you finally see it work as expected, it's an awesome feeling!
