Many business owners and developers have this common question:
“Our website is not built with WordPress. Can we still use WordPress for blogging?” (How to Add a WordPress Blog to a Non-WordPress Website)
The answer is YES — and it’s actually a smart SEO decision.
You do not need to convert your entire website to WordPress.
You can keep your existing website (HTML, PHP, React, Angular, etc.) and add only the blog section using WordPress.
This approach is widely used by high-performing websites for better SEO and content management.
Let’s see how to do it step by step.
Why Use WordPress Only for Blogs?
Even if your main website is custom-built, WordPress offers unmatched advantages for blogging:
- Powerful SEO plugins (Yoast, RankMath, Schema)
- Easy content publishing for non-technical users
- Better URL structure and indexing
- AEO & GEO friendly content setup
- Faster ranking potential on Google
That’s why many businesses follow this structure:
- Main Website → Custom tech (HTML / React / Angular)
- Blog Section → WordPress
Step 1: Decide the Blog URL (Slug)
First, decide where your blog should live.
Examples:
domainname.com/blogdomainname.com/blogs
If you want:
domainname.com/blog→ create a folder named blogdomainname.com/blogs→ create a folder named blogs
Create this folder inside your root directory.
Important Note:
If your existing website already has a page using the same slug (/blog or /blogs), it will not work.
You must:
- Rename that page, or
- Remove it if not required
Step 2: Install WordPress Inside That Folder
Once the folder is created, install WordPress inside that folder, not in the root.
Example structure:
public_html/
├── index.html
├── about.html
├── services.html
├── blog/ ← WordPress installed here
Now your WordPress blog will be accessible at:domainname.com/blog
Step 3: Match the Blog Design with Your Existing Website
This is a critical step.
Your WordPress blog should visually match your main website:
- Header layout
- Footer design
- Fonts
- Colors
- Buttons
- Spacing and style
When done correctly:
- Visitors won’t feel it’s a different platform
- Both website and blog feel like one single brand
Step 4: Connect Menus Using Custom Links
In the WordPress menu:
- Add custom links for Home, About, Services, Contact
- Link them to your main website pages
This creates smooth navigation:
- Main website → Blog
- Blog → Main website
No confusion for users, no SEO issues.
Step 5: Design Blog Pages Properly
Inside WordPress, you can fully customize:
- Blog listing page
- Single blog post page
- Category and archive pages
Design them based on:
- SEO best practices
- Mobile responsiveness
- Fast loading
- Clean content structure
This helps Google understand your content better and improves rankings.
Step 6: Add Blog Menu in the Main Website
Finally, update your main website’s navigation menu:
- Add “Blog”
- Link it to
domainname.com/blog
That’s it.
