Real-World Scenarios: When to Choose Which

Native Forms collect attendee details in real time and route responses to email or webhooks, cutting confirmation admin time by 70% for 200-500 person events.
Custom Domains redirect multiple branded vanity URLs to a single Responsive Design template, consolidating link-in-bio traffic without duplicating content.
Custom Code pulls real-time pricing, availability, or inventory from external APIs, keeping single-page sites current without rebuilding the entire page.
