Notion Sites vs DragDrop
Notion Sites turns any Notion page into a website with one click, and for docs and personal pages that is genuinely great. DragDrop is for when the site is the point: real layouts from 90+ blocks, forms, SEO controls, and your own domain, free.
One site per project
Many sites, one platform
TL;DR
Notion Sites publishes a page. DragDrop builds a website.
Use Notion Sites if…
- You already live in Notion and want zero setup.
- You are publishing docs, a handbook, or a personal page.
- You want the free tier for something small and simple.
Use DragDrop if…
- You want real layouts, not a document with a URL.
- You want forms with email alerts, SEO controls, and a sitemap.
- You want a custom domain with SSL on the free plan.
- You want a site in more than one language.
Key differences.
Layouts, not documents
Notion pages flow like documents, because they are documents. DragDrop pages are composed from blocks: heroes, columns, pricing tables, galleries, wherever you drop them.
The website basics are all here
Forms with email alerts, SEO controls, automatic sitemap, redirects, and Google Analytics integration. The things a real site needs on day one.
Still fast to start
Pick a template, swap the words with inline editing, publish. You do not trade away the quick start to get a real website.
The same job, two ways.
Shipping a page for one client in Notion Sites, and for every client at once in the DragDrop studio.
