Hi Warriors,

My team is creating a website for affiliate marketing, and was wondering if we should use Wordpress or HTML in creating this website. Also, what are the pros and cons of having a landing page created through Wordpress or HTML?

Thanks in advance!

Best, Buddy7

    The difference (other than the obviuos)

    Optimization.

    Actually I use both. The pages that don't get refreshed but once in a blue moon..i use a static page. The contact page, about page, services page...etc.

    Wordpress is a content management system. It is made to be dynamic and feed the engines and visitors with constent new content. That's what I use it for.

    If I had a website that was themed for flowers, I would make my static html pages on the root directory. I would create a directory(folder) called flowers and create my wp there drilling further download using the categories then the post.

    Since the wp themes also have an about page, i use that area to point to the static about page and also include current events about my industry using rss feeds. Like...fairs, conventions, news, annoucements that would of interest like... weddings, local special events...etc.

    I also use both. For the sites themselves, I'll create it in Wordpess and then when I do landing pages for promotions etc, I use dreamweaver to create the regular html.

    When they opt in for more info and they click on the aweber confirmation link, I send them to the wordpress site again where they collect their downloads etc,

    So, each has it's place,

      Thanks for your insight Dale! We'll probably end up using both Wordpress and HTML.

    This is some useful advice, I certainly like the idea of using both: HTML for static pages and WP for the blogging area. Since most of the WP themes seem to be pre-fabricated, does anybody have a solution for making the design between the static and blogging pages completely the same or at least relatively seamless? Can one manipulate the design elements in WP easily enough to match the static site's design? I'm relatively new at this, please advise as to how to approach this. Thanks!
