# How to Add a New Page in WordPress (Step by Step)

**In short:** In the WordPress dashboard go to **Pages → Add New Page**, type the title and content in the editor, then click **Publish**. Pages are for static content such as "About us" and "Contact", while news and regularly updated topics belong in posts.

## Steps to add a new page

1. Log in to the dashboard at **yoursite.com/wp-admin**.
2. From the sidebar choose **Pages**, then **Add New Page**.
3. Type the **page title** at the top of the editor.
4. Add content: type directly, or click the **+** button to add a block such as a paragraph, heading, image or button.
5. In the sidebar (**Page** tab) set the **permalink**, the **parent page** if it is a sub-page, the **template** if your theme offers more than one, and the **featured image**.
6. Click **Preview** to check it, then **Publish**. Not finished yet? Click **Save draft**.

After publishing, add the page to your site menu so visitors can reach it: see [how to add and remove menu items](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/how-to-add-and-remove-menu-items-in-wordpress/).

## Pages vs. posts in WordPress

- **Page:** static content not tied to a date, such as Home, About, Contact and Privacy Policy. Pages have no categories and do not appear in the blog.
- **Post:** dated, regularly updated content that appears in the blog and is organized with categories and tags. See [how to add a post in WordPress](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/how-to-add-a-new-post-in-wordpress/).

## Tips

- Keep the permalink short and clear, such as **/about**.
- To make a page your homepage: **Settings → Reading → A static page**, then select it.
- Use subheadings (H2, H3) to structure the content; it helps readers and search engines.
