Key Insights - 3 Insights

Why do we pick a domain name after choosing the platform?

Because the platform choice affects how you register and connect your domain, as shown in steps 1 and 2 of the execution_table.

Why is designing the layout important before creating content categories?

Designing layout first helps decide how categories will appear visually, making navigation easier, as seen in steps 3 and 4.

Why do we promote content only after publishing posts?

Promotion needs actual content to share; promoting before publishing would have nothing to show, as steps 5 and 6 illustrate.
