How to select the perfect WordPress theme and plugins?

Understanding the difference between pages and posts is key to building a clear, user-friendly WordPress site. Pages are best suited for static, timeless content, such as your homepage, contact details, or service offerings. Posts, on the other hand, are designed for timely updates—like blog entries, announcements, or tutorials and are typically organized by categories and tags for easy browsing.

To get the most out of both, structure your pages with clear headings and visuals, and keep your posts well-tagged and scheduled. Use menus to make key pages accessible and plan your categories ahead of time to avoid clutter. By using each tool for its intended purpose, you’ll not only improve navigation but also boost your site's SEO and overall professionalism.
