Use Cases

- Redirect your users from a promotional newsletter link.
Overview Page (to supplement Collections).
- After creating a Collection of blog posts, next you may want to create a home page for your blog.
One-Off Pages
- Depending on the needs of your website you may have several footer links with some one-off informational pages (i.e. F.A.Qs, Shipping Information).
