A web site provides so much more versatility as to a blog. A blog is something that you put on your web site, so by setting up a web site you can include a blog in the site. A blog is a journal that provides an excellent way for communicating with your users. I would recommend first assembling a web site and adding a blog to your web site. There are excellent benefits to both a blog and a web and using them together only adds more value to your project.

With a web site you can create a central point for all of your users to navigate to, information can be presented on promoting your work. Your work can be presented using articles, videos, discussion forums, photo galleries and audio segments with your web site. Your content can be aligned to clearly present the work that you provide in a unique and consistent manner. Graphics and animation can be used on your web site to further build your brand. The information on your site should be outline to provide a logical navigation of the content and services that you provide with your site. The blog is a key part of your web site and should be used to reinforce the content that you have on your site and provide regular updates on your work.

Using your blog enabled web site you can create a community for your users to participate in while promoting your work. Polls can be made available to help you discover what people like and dislike about your work, this information can then be used to providing a better service or product to your clients and prospects.
