# Websites overview
> Multi-page navigation, blog integration, and popup widgets.
The Websites feature in HoopAI lets you build complete, multi-page web presences with global navigation, blog publishing, SEO controls, and custom domains. Unlike funnels — which guide visitors through a fixed sequence — websites give visitors the freedom to navigate between pages in any order, making them the right choice for brand sites, service businesses, and content-driven presences.
Add a global navigation menu that persists across all pages of your website.
Connect a blog to your website to publish SEO-optimized articles and drive organic traffic.
Add popup overlays to capture leads or display offers at specific trigger points.
## Getting started
Navigate to **Sites > Websites** and click **+ New Website**. Choose a template from the library or start with a blank canvas. Give the website a name.
Design your header and footer first, then save them as Global Sections. Any future updates to the global header or footer will propagate automatically across the entire site.
In the Pages tab, add each page you need. Design each one in the drag-and-drop builder. Common pages include Home, About, Services, Pricing, and Contact.
Set up the global navigation menu so visitors can move between pages. Fill in per-page SEO fields — title, description, and canonical URL — and confirm the XML sitemap is enabled.
Go to the Settings tab, assign a custom domain, and publish the website. The site is not publicly accessible until a domain is connected.
## Frequently asked questions
A website supports free navigation — visitors can move between pages in any order through a global menu. A funnel is a linear sequence with no navigation menu; visitors move from one step to the next in a fixed order. Use a website for brand presence, service pages, and content. Use a funnel for lead generation, sales campaigns, and conversion-focused flows.
Yes. A website must have a connected domain before it is publicly accessible. You can build and preview the site without a domain, but it will not be reachable by visitors until a domain is assigned in the website's Settings tab.
A global section is a reusable header, footer, or content block that is linked across multiple pages. When you edit a global section, the change applies everywhere it is used — no need to update each page individually. Design your header and footer as global sections before building individual pages.
Yes. The blog integration feature connects a blog site to your website so visitors can browse articles from within the same domain. Blog posts are created and managed in the Blogs section under Sites.
Popup widgets are overlay elements that appear on top of a page at a configured trigger — for example, after a visitor has been on the page for a set number of seconds, on exit intent, or after scrolling a certain percentage. Use them to capture email addresses, display a limited-time offer, or present a lead magnet without interrupting the main page experience on load.
Yes. The Stats tab in your website shows analytics for every page — page views, unique views, opt-in counts, and conversion rates. Use this data to identify which pages drive the most engagement and which may need improvement.
