As soon as you set up your new website, you'll want to start adding content. This is a crucial first step, whether you're creating a one-page profile or a multi-author blog. However, if you are new to the platform, you may not be sure where to start.
Fortunately, WordPress makes creating and customizing original content for your site a breeze using pages and posts. The former are static pages perfect for contact information or history, while the latter are dated blog posts that can be conveniently organized and archived.

In this article, we'll explain the key differences between pages and posts, and discuss when and why you might want to use them. Then we'll show you how to create and organize your content. Let's start with some definitions!
What are WordPress pages?
WordPress pages are what is normally known as web sections , they are static posts that list the content in a hierarchical order. Pages are useful for posting content that will remain intact for a long period of time. For example, the terms and conditions page of a website does not require constant changes, the about us page and the contact page are some more examples of a WordPress page. These pages do not support categories or tags.
They are hierarchical in nature. Therefore, you can systematically organize the pages in hierarchical order. That means you can group pages by making a main page and another sub page as a sub page.
Unlike posts, pages don't show the public author and post date and time at the top. Also, they are not friendly with social media. Therefore, you cannot share them on them. Another notable difference between posts and pages in WordPress is that pages don't allow comments.
