Is it fine to run php website on root domain and wordpress blog on the sub domain?

Question

My client's existing web app is built on php. He needs to get a blog on it. Is it ok to create a wordpress blog on subdomain? I doubt if it looks unprofessional. I can match color theme and designs but if it gives different user experience, could be unprofessional. Please guide. Your suggestions will be appreciated.

Answer 1

For the technical answer, yes, you can install Wordpress on a subdomain.

Here is Slack, their blog is a different experience, but the brand/design is cohesive enough that visitors know it is the same company. Therefore, I think you are fine to go ahead with this.
