Why choose Notion as your CMS?

‍

Notion is lots of people's favourite app to take notes - that sounds pretty obvious in the app's name, right? Moreover, people also love Notion because of its simplicity.

Though, there is way more to love about Notion, and that's because you can build your very next website within Notion.so, and it's all 100% free. For more about that, check out the Notion website builder.

Can you use Notion as a CMS?

Yes, each of your Notion page can be turned into a website, and you can use that as your CMS.

Notion is a very good and easy to use CMS, and you can build beautiful and professional websites without having to hassle like on any of the other old website builders.

Why use Notion as a CMS?

But, back to our business, Notion can host a website as powerful and as efficient as any other CMS. Think of Notion being as reliable as (or many even better) WordPress or Wix.

Let's look at the main reasons why you should consider using Notion as your CMS.

1. Notion CMS means no code

To use notion as your next CMS, you don't even need to code. All of the changes to your websites are made right inside of Notion.

Your CMS and backend is basically a Notion page designated to be your website.

To change things on your website, you just have to add and/or remove blocks. The best part is that you don't even need to code to use Notion.

A Notion website works just as a normal Notion page, though.... It is a website!

2. Minimalistic websites

Notion gives the huge advantage of tidy websites. The same interface that the Notion app gives when you're making new pages will be given to your website as well.

What's not to love about a minimalistic website? As we always say, it's really hard to make a Notion page look ugly.

The classic all-white page will be your next website. You know what's even better? The fact that a Notion-built website has dark mode available.

That is an example of a Notion website built with Simple.ink, and held in dark mode. Any user can change that according to their preference: light or dark mode.

3. Head start templates

In case you're finding it difficult designing your website, fear not, a Notion website has you covered even in this situation.

If you've used Notion before, then you might know how there is a way to duplicate other pages. That's why we've built a library of Notion website templates that are 100% free to use.

You don't necessarily have to use our templates to start your website - what we're trying to prove here is the fact that a Notion website can be built without even designing it.

Whatever Notion template you find on the internet and is duplicatable, you can transform it into your website.

4. Notion websites pair with integrations

Integrating is one of the most fun parts of building notion websites.

You can integrate any of your favourite tools inside a Notion website. That's right, anything that's got an integration code, an embeddable code or an embeddable URL!

Yet again, we have a library of apps to integrate in Notion, and we also teach you how to do that.

Within your Notion website, you can integrate the most useful tools, such as: live chat, customer feedback, social media, cookies and so on.

One of the most important apps that you can integrate is anything that gives you stats on your website.

For instance, an app that works great for stats is Google Analytics. Feel free to use whatever you like the most!

5. Notion as a CMS is totally free

So, as most of you may know by now, Notion is a totally free tool. So is building your Notion website with Simple.ink!

If you want to see more about the pricing of Notion, check out our Notion pricing page where we compare Notion's plans and explain them.

With this being said, your Notion page and your Notion website built with Simple.ink are free of cost, and with a free website, you get loads of advantages!

Is Notion worth using as a CMS?

Notion is worth using as a CMS because it brings loads of advantages. For instance, you don't have to worry about going through tens of page editors to make a few changes - you just have to go to your Notion page and make your changes. It's that easy!

Shortly, here are 5 of the reasons why we think that you should use Notion as a CMS:

1. No need to know anything about coding
2. You'll build clean and minimalistic pages
3. There are loads of free templates to start with
4. Integrations work perfectly with Notion
5. Building a Notion website is 100% free

We hope that this brings any help and that you've got the main idea of why you should think of using Notion.so as your next CMS.
