Create WordPress site - how it works

In contrast to blog entries, pages are static and are rarely changed. This is why they are ideal for contact forms, the imprint or overviews. In contrast to articles, pages do not appear in the RSS feed or in the "New articles" section.

1. To add a new page in WordPress, navigate to "Pages"> "Create" in the dashboard.
2. A new blank page opens as a draft. Now enter a meaningful title. This should be clear and describe the content of the page in a few words.
3. Now you can insert texts and pictures.
4. Depending on the theme used, you can choose between different layouts on the right side of the screen. Here, for example, you are given the option of displaying this page without widgets or page menus.
5. As soon as you save the page, it is displayed as a draft in the overview.
6. If you are satisfied with your entries, select the "Publish" option. This means that your new page on the homepage is accessible to your visitors.
