Hello Everyone! What is the best way to incorporate a blog into a website considering it's coded from scratch?
t
Hey! I also have a custom-coded website, but when it came to the blog - I created a separate blog website on a constructor platform (I use webflow, but there are plenty of them) and just do redirects between website and blog. Incorporating a blog platfform into a custom coded website is much more expensive then just add redirect to a constructor. Hope this helps

@Tonya thanks a lot for the tip. I've been considering using HubSpot. One of my concerns is, does it impact domain authority when redirecting to a subdomain?
t
Not sure, but I think the new subdomain will have it’s own domain authority, but haven’t checked this.

You Can deploy a blog using wordpress. Embed it within a subdirectory. It won't affect the domain authority as long as it's a subdirectory

That's a really good idea, @Diptesh Das. An issue with such an approach is that I need to look for external tools for lead capturing and email marketing, which creates other silos in between.
@Tonya how are you automating email marketing considering your webapp is custom-made and your blog is developed through webflow?
