A website uses pages to display content – Home, About, and Contact are common examples of pages. You can have an unlimited number of pages on your WordPress.com website. This guide will show you how to create and manage the pages of your site.
To add a new page to your website, take the following steps:
- Visit your site’s dashboard.
- Click on Pages on the left side.
- Click the “Add page” button.
- If prompted, select a starter pattern, or click the X in the top right to start with a blank page. Learn more about starter content.
- Give your page a title by typing it in the box at the top that says, “Add title“.
- Click on the + block inserter icon to add new content, or click on any block to edit existing content. Learn more about using the WordPress editor to create your page content.
When you publish a page, you make it available to your visitors and can add the page to site menus and other links. If your site is private or coming soon, you can still publish a page to use it in site menus, but unauthorized visitors won’t see it.
To publish your new page, follow these steps:
- Create your page and add your content.
- Customize your page’s settings with a featured image, excerpt, and more.
- In the toolbar at the top of the editor, click the Publish button.
- Review the pre-publish checks and click Publish again to publish your page.
- If you have the pre-publish checks turned off, your page will be published based on your page settings.
- Your page is now published. For future updates to the published page, the button will read “Save“.

Now that you have created and published your new page, you’ll want to help visitors find the page on your site. There are a few ways to do that:
- Add the page to your menu.
- Make the page your site’s homepage.
- Link to the page across your site in text, buttons, and images.

- “Review my homepage copy and suggest edits to make it clearer for first-time visitors.”
- “Write a FAQ section for my About page that answers common questions about [topic].”
