Custom v/s Customized v/s Personal

We have a small start up and need a tag line for it. We deal in custom products that

we make according to their requirements. We have come up with 'Customized

Technology Solutions'. But, now we have a question, is 'Custom Technology Solutions'

the correct usage or is it customized itself. Also, is it wrong to use 'Personalized

Technology Solutions'?

Does customized make it seem that we modify products not actually make new

ones?

The word you're looking for might be bespoke, which means made to custom

requirements. "Tailor-made" (or just "tailored") is a common allegory with the same

meaning.

"Custom" as an adjective is fine too. Customized probably does suggest "modified

from something else". "Personalized" would be an odd choice of words if your

customers are businesses rather than individuals; to me it also connotes something

shallower than "customized", along the lines of just painting a name on something

rather than changing its essential nature.

2

I feel you should stick with "custom." Personalized is not an option because the

dictionary gives a meaning as "engraving, or monogrammed with one's initials," which

is not what you are doing.

Custom means "made to order" and to me does not have the feeling of taking

something that already exists and modifying it. Customized could be seen in that way,

although the dictionary does not support that "could be seen."

Bespoke and tailored are used for clothing so are not at all appropriate.

3

"Bespoke" is not specific to clothing; it's the past participle of "bespeak", which simply

means to order (decree) something. "Tailored" does literally refer to clothing but, in

an allegorical sense, it is very widely used in other contexts (software, loans, spa

breaks...). – bobtato Sep 5 '15 at 1:52

Modular vs Modularized - What's the difference?

while modularized is having or made up of modules.
