If you’re creating a brand-new site, you might wonder if you need a website, a blog, or a website with a blog! This guide will show you how to create any of these options on WordPress.com.

There is very little that is different between a website and a blog. Both are created using the tools available on WordPress. The main differences between a website versus a blog are:
- A website focuses more on “static” pages. Static pages are pages of content that don’t frequently change, like an About page or a Contact page.
- A blog has more dynamic content. Blog posts, or articles, are published by the blog owner regularly and can appear in social feeds and be emailed to subscribers.
You will follow the same steps to set up a website or a blog. The difference comes from which features in the site’s dashboard that you use:
- If you don’t want a blog on your website, you just won’t use the blogging features – most notably the Posts section.
- If you want only a blog or a website with a blog, you will use the blogging features on WordPress.com, including the Posts area, Subscribers, and more.
