Brochure part on main domain and app on sub domain
hi hope you can help? I was wondering if it is best to design the homepage, about, blog etc in something like WordPress elementor or webflow on the main domain and have our app built in react on app.domain.com? We were thinking keeping the brochure part of the site seperate will allow us to easily make updates and blog posts etc without effecting the main app, we are building the app via ionic react and having it run on multiple devices. Would you reccomend building the platform like this? Or would it be better to use a cms like strapi or contentful to allow designers to make changes to brochure parts directly in the app? Thanks

Yes, definitely use a subdomain for your app.
A few reasons:

Thanks so much, you have really helped me out!
One other question maybe you could help?, we use stripe connect to auto-sort payments to vendors in our web app if we need to use in app purchases in our ionic mobile app do you know if there is a way to do auto vendor payouts with apple in app purchases? Thanks
Yes, I recommend subdomain. If you have everything on same domain, you should always be careful you wont accidentally push your work in progress app code while you pushing the mainsite content. Also if it is not separate all changes has to be pushed only by you, you can't offshore the blog,site part to others.
Yeah totally, use a subdomain.
Much easier to maintain your marketing site without having to mess with your app code.
