● Instructions
How do you choose a landing page, business website or online store?
When does a landing page fit the task?
Use a landing page when one audience receives one focused offer and moves toward one main action. Typical cases include a campaign, event, new service, lead magnet or early demand test. Prepare a clear promise, proof, pricing logic, answers to objections and a form or booking link.
When does a business website create more value?
Choose a business website when customers compare several services, locations, industries or cases. Separate pages let each search intent receive a precise answer and internal links. Plan a homepage, service pages, about, cases, FAQ and contact path, then assign an owner for regular content updates.
When does the project need an online store?
Choose a store when visitors select products or variants, see availability, pay online and expect order communication. Scope catalog structure, filters, taxes, delivery, payments, returns, stock and analytics. Include daily operations: who imports products, updates prices, processes orders and supports customers.
Which questions reveal the right scope?
Count offers, page templates, languages, products, monthly orders and integrations. Identify the primary traffic sources and actions. Check who edits content and how often. These answers expose the real system behind the screen and show whether a focused page, structured website or commerce platform fits.
How should you plan the first release?
Select the smallest release that completes the core customer journey and produces measurable data. Put essential content, tracking, forms and operational integrations into launch scope. Move additional languages, content clusters, loyalty, advanced filtering and automation into named stages with owners, budgets and review dates.
