Hi All \u002D I\u0027m very new to Headless CMS but I have one use case I want to ask you about.\u000a\u000aSay I have a client site in HTML. It\u0027s just straight HTML/CSS site up on a GoDaddy host etc..\u000a\u000aCan I create a blog for that HTML site with Flotiq? A blog as a sub\u002Ddirectory?\u000a\u000aAnd other archive style pages like an Events page? And \u0027team\u0027 or \u0027staff\u0027 page that link out to individual \u0027event and staff pages\u0027.\u000a\u000aDoes that make sense?\u000a\u000aWhat other tools would be needed? \u000a\u000aAnd what would the basic flow be?\u000a\u000aAlso, could I create blog archive and blog pages etc.. with say a HTML funnel builder like Convertri?\u000a\u000ahttps://www.convertri.com/\u000a\u000aLike can we style out a blog and embed it into an HTML page?\u000a\u000aOk thanks!

Hi, \u000aFlotiq is more of a backend for your projects. With the help of our starters, e.g. https://flotiq.com/blog/building\u002Dblog\u002Dwith\u002Dgatsby\u002Dstarter, you can extend it to a frontend. Where you host is up to you. With GatsbyJS, you can generate a page as static files, so theoretically, you could put them in a subdirectory on GoDaddy.\u000a\u000aI think it would be simpler and more convenient to move your pages entirely to Gatsby / NextJS (page generation frameworks, React) if only based on the one mentioned in the link above. In the case of the Gatsby project, you can easily transfer your HTML pages to the project, adding a blog, staff and similar subpages. We also recommend deploying on, e.g. netlify, a more adapted tool for Gatsby than GoDaddy https://dev.to/ivanadokic/hosting\u002Dgatsby\u002Dsite\u002Dusing\u002Da\u002Dgodaddy\u002Ddomain\u002Dnetlify\u002Dgatsby\u002Dnetlify\u002Dreact\u002Dhosting\u002De\u000a\u000aRegarding Convertri \u002D if they return HTML, you can safely connect it to the page with our starters by copying the appropriate HTML code to them.
