A lot of people wonder about WordPress pages vs posts. After all, they seem similar but are actually designed for different purposes. WordPress pages are similar to posts and can be created in the same way. Pages are made for static content such as the About Us page, Contact Pages, News Pages, etc. Posts, on the other hand, are made for dynamic content such as blog posts, think team members, councillor profiles, news articles, etc.
Posts are archived by WordPress since the authors and the time of publication are relevant. This is why the tag and category options are available for posts. They enable users to easily find the information they are looking for within the WordPress archive page. Pages on the other hand do not have tags and category options.
