The good
- Cheap to start and no developer needed
- Templates get you online quickly
- Fine for a simple presence while you are starting out
The trade-offs

- Sites tend to be slower and weaker at local SEO
- Templates look like thousands of other businesses
- You handle everything yourself, including the technical bits
