Q: Need help

If there’s another way to connect a blog without using Cloudflare? I can’t change the NS records on the hosting since they are tied to the website builder service. Thanks in advance.

A: You don't need to move to Cloudflare.
For the blog on the sub-domain, add the CNAME record.
Also, you can contact us directly, that would be faster

Q: Does this work only if we have Paid account of Notion ?

Hi Parul!

1. Does this work only if we have Paid account Notion Plus ?
Or does it work with the Free Notion account as well ?

2. IF we can use the Free Notion account, so we can use mydomain.com/net, etc. ?
I mean Custom Domain on all Tiers, right ?

3. Can Buildfast be used only for making Blogs ?
Or can it be used for making normal Single page or Multiple page websites or even Landing Pages ?
IF YES, do you have Templates for the same ?

4. Can we embed Video links like YouTube link, Wistia, or any video platform that allows embedding ?

Q: embed code css, html and Java in blog + Backend

Hello, there are no in-depth tests on Youtube! Here are a few questions:

1 - Can you explain Tier 3: Custom Javascript?
Does this allow me to integrate css + html + Javascript code on the blog? I've created a little quiz in css + html + Javascript. Can I publish it on my blog?

2 - Can I use Notion as a back end? That way, I could store the questions and answers for my quiz and change the logic of my css, html and java script code to tell it to retrieve these elements from notion (or Buildfast)! This means I don't need the APIs of another platform.

3 - If all the functions given in questions 1 & 2 are possible, do I need a paid subscription to Notion or will a free account suffice?

A: Hey,

1. We allow custom Javascript as in you can paste in any scripts you have like analytics, chatbots etc for your blog. You can't add css + html + Javascript.

2. We use Notion as our CMS, you add your blogs on Notion and we use that data to create a good looking blog for you which can you can host anywhere. You can write a blog on Notion and that will be converted into a blog site by...

A: Hey,

None of the data is owned by us, or in any of our servers as it will be on your own Notion account. We can only access any of this when you make this Notion page public and allow us access.
And yes, you can host your blog on your own domain as well. By default we give you a link on our domain, but you can add it to your own domain, subdomain or custom path (like youwebsite/blog).

Q: Can you please clarify on what realistic expectations for pages are?

Hello, team.

There's lots of excitement about what you all are doing with Buildfast! I would please like to see some clarification on what we can realistically expect to see with regard to pages. In some of the team's answers to questions, it's no, pages are out because a separate database and page templates would need to be built. In other answers, it's yes, some pages are on the roadmap. Some of these differing answers came just a few days apart in December.

I, personally, would love the option to build out some pages, too. I am exhausted with WordPress and its setup and maintenance time and am enlivened by and emboldened with Buildfast as an option to plow forward and get up content quickly.

Thank you kindly!

A: Thank you! Pages are on the roadmap, and we are planning on adding another database on Notion for it (like we do for Articles, Authors and Categories). To be clear, we are not going to be offering the option to build landing pages, but additional info pages like about or t&c (or really anything!)
If there's any other specific usecase you have in mind, I'd love to chat and hear you out! Please...
