Should You Use a Custom Site or a Template?
Pick a template when editors can change the words safely. Pick a custom build when the page's job does not fit the theme.

Should the Offer Live on a Landing Page or the Homepage?
Put a browsing visit on the homepage and a one-offer click on a landing page. The ad should use the URL that already says the same thing.
