Static pages remain in fixed locations within a site navigation menu, distinguishing them from chronological blog posts. These pages are designed for timeless information, such as mission statements or personal introductions. They provide a foundational overview of a site owner or organization for visitors.
Users can manage these pages through their website dashboard to delete template content and create original pages. This process allows site owners to establish a permanent structure for relevant, long-term information. Personalizing these static locations helps visitors understand a brand mission and history.
This is an example page. It is different from a standard blog post because it will stay in one fixed location and will show up in your site navigation menu in most themes. While blog posts are typically chronological entries, pages are “static” and are better suited for information that remains relevant over time. Most people start their journey with an About page that introduces their background or mission to potential site visitors. This serves as a helpful introduction to your audience and brand. It might say something like this:
Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)
…or something like this:
The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.
As a new WordPress user, you should go to your dashboard to delete this page and create new pages for your content. Have fun!
