Why use Notion sites?
While there are plenty of website builders out there, Notion Sites brings something unique to the table. Here are a few reasons why Notion Sites stands out:
Ease of use

Unlike traditional website builders where you need to manually update your site, Notion Sites automatically syncs with your Notion workspace. Any updates you make to your Notion page are instantly published online, making it ideal for businesses that need to keep content fresh and up-to-date.
Built-in collaboration
Notion’s collaborative features extend to Notion Sites, allowing teams to work together on website content. Multiple team members can edit pages, leave comments, and contribute to the site in real time, making it a perfect solution for remote teams.

Event pages
Hosting an event or workshop? Use Notion Sites to create an event landing page where attendees can find schedules, speaker bios, and registration links—all from a clean, easy-to-navigate Notion page.
Best practices for designing your Notion site
While Notion Sites makes website building easy, there are a few best practices to keep in mind to ensure your site looks professional and functions smoothly:
Keep it clean & simple
Notion’s minimalist design is one of its strengths. Stick to clean, simple layouts that emphasise content over clutter. Use headings, bullet points, and dividers to organise your information effectively.
Use visuals strategically
Include images, videos, or icons to break up text and make your site more engaging. Visuals should support the content and help guide the user through the page without overwhelming them.
Leverage Notion’s databases
For more advanced websites, use Notion’s database feature to create dynamic content. For example, you can display a portfolio of projects, each linked to a detailed project page, or list blog posts with clickable links to the full articles.
Test your site on multiple devices
Notion Sites are mobile-friendly, but it’s still a good idea to test how your site looks on both desktop and mobile devices. Make sure the formatting works well across different screen sizes to ensure a seamless user experience.
Conclusion: A simple and powerful way to build and share content
Notion Sites is a game-changer for businesses and individuals looking to create shareable content online without the complexity of traditional web development. Whether you’re building a portfolio, sharing documentation, or creating a landing page, Notion Sites offers a simple, cost-effective solution that keeps everything centralised within your Notion workspace.
