Creating a new WordPress page

To create a new page on your WordPress website, visit the admin dashboard, then select the Pages > Add New option from the menu.

Pages are different from posts. Pages represent a static location on your website that might include regularly acccessed resources and links. Examples of a useful page wold be an About page or a Contact page.

Posts are typically single articles that aim to convey a particular message. Posts are usually dated and published more often than pages. An example of a post would be this post – “Creating a new WordPress page”.

Pages represent the skeleton of a website, whereas posts are the meat. Posts can be published or deleted without affecting the rest of the site unlike pages, which usually contain important information.

A typical blog might only have a few pages, but many posts.

A government website would probably have many pages but few posts.
