Should I build my website with a funnel or a blog?
Short answer
Use the blog if you plan to publish regularly and need a lot of pages. Use a funnel if you just need a few pages.
There is no third option
systeme.io does not have a button that says build a website. It has funnels and it has blogs, and a website is made out of one of those two.
Pick the blog if
- You will keep adding pages over time
- You want posts, categories and a menu
- The site is bigger than a handful of pages
Pick a funnel if
- You need a home page, an about page and a contact page, and that is it
- The site exists to get somebody to one action
- You are not planning to publish anything regularly
The one rule you cannot get around
Only one page on your domain can be the home page. It can be a blog page or a funnel page, but you have to choose. You cannot point the root of your domain at both.
So if you build a blog and a funnel, decide up front which one a visitor lands on when they type your domain.
