repeat questions
FAQ page
Short, direct answers that can be reused quickly
Best when the reader already knows the topic.
Compare page
Comparison pages are for choice, not for noise.
Quick answer
Use a comparison page when the user is choosing between real options. It should show the trade-offs, the fit, and the limits in one place.
What a compare page is for
It helps a reader choose. That means the page needs clear options, one deciding variable at a time, and no filler.
What a compare page should say
Show what each option is best for, what it answers, and where it stops. If there is no real trade-off, do not force a comparison.
- Name the options plainly.
- Keep the deciding factor visible.
- End with the next best action.
What to avoid
Do not turn comparison into a slogan page. The page should reduce doubt, not add more of it.
