A webpage provides various benefits that surpass those of a Facebook page. Firstly, not all individuals use Facebook and its user base primarily comprises of younger age groups. Moreover, Facebook lacks the option to specify the location or products, or to provide links to other social media platforms. In addition, Facebook imposes limitations on the available templates and design options, while retaining ownership of the content and providing limited control over its display. On the other hand, a webpage offers greater control over branding, customization, design, and content ownership in comparison to a Facebook page.
