An archive page,a home page and contact page is the most important to me
Thanks Ebima for dropping. Those are quite important pages for every blogger.
FAQ page is definitely often overlooked. Just like blog posts, it’s an awesome tool for answering customer questions – yet it’s often used to answer mundane questions that are rarely even thought about.
