May I know the difference between landing page and a website? I was going through COS certification course and there they were showing how to create template using template building and store under landing page. But I want to create something similar to [http://504.ec5.myftpupload.com/](http://504.ec5.myftpupload.com/) .

How do I do? Is there free template available to build a website like this? and how exactly should i proceed via design manager?

@poojanadkarni there is not much of a difference between a landing page and a website page in HubSpot. It’s primarily used for organization and for grouping your analytics into two seperate buckets.

@poojanadkarni yes, it’s similar to that concept. However, pages is also broken down a step further into “Site Pages” (if you have the website add-on) and “Landing pages” mostly for analytics purposes.

Also important to mention that **Website pages are automatically added to the Sitemap while Landing pages are not** (you need to manually add them if needed).

I know it’s an old topic but it appears in search engines when searching for the comparison between Website pages and Landing pages 🙂
