Same Nordcraft project, different domains ?

    I was thinking of building the marketing site (landing page, blog) the app under the same nordcraft project.

    1st question
    Is that better to have a different submain for the app ? That's what I've always done and seen.

    2nd question
    If having a sub-domain is better, can I do that under the same NC project ?
    I would have some pages that would be under the sub-domain A, and some other pages that would be under the sub-domain B...


    I like to think that marketing site and app are under the same roof for :
    - Simplicity
    - Pricing

    What are your suggestions on this one ?

    As always, "better" depends on your needs. For web purposes, subdomains are treated as their own entity, meaning that if you have your main site on the base root domain and the app on a subdomain, you can safely noindex the app and it won't affect the main site.

    It's not uncommon for app to be noindexed when locked behind login/subscription, etc
  • If it's a free to the public app then that's different

    Main site and app being under the same project wouldn't affect pricing as you can have multiple projects per org
  • And it may or may not affect simplicity, that would depend on the build. For me, personally, I opted for different projects

    Oh and don't split up blog (and even docs) into their own subdomain. Those should ideally be under the main domain for SEO
  • Nordcraft separated them so they could share the templates for them

    Okay, great answer Lucas !
    Since I don't need SEO for the app, and it's a classic dashboard app, i would probably split Markeing site & app into 2 separated projects then.

    There was another thread that discussed this a while back

    Another point that was brought up is that you can have a login/dashboard button on the main site easier when it’s under one project
