Posts come and go, but some pages stay put — About, Contact, the ones visitors look for again and again. Here's how to create a page and tuck it into a tidy hierarchy so everything has a place.

## Before you start

- You're signed in to your site's dashboard.
- Your account is allowed to publish pages — that means an Administrator or Editor role.
- You've already made the page you want to use as the parent, such as your About page.

## Steps

### Step 1: Open your pages list

In the left sidebar, click **Pages**. Every page on your site is listed here, and nested pages sit indented underneath the page they belong to. When you're ready for a new one, click **Add Page** beside the Pages heading.

### Step 2: Write your page and give it a parent

Click **Add title** at the top and type the name your visitors will see, then click the line below it and start writing — the placeholder **Type / to choose a block** is where your words, images, and lists go. To tuck the page under another one, click **Parent** in the settings sidebar on the right and pick the page it should sit under. Leave it at **None** and your page stays at the top level.

### Step 3: Publish your page

Click **Publish** in the top bar. WordPress opens a panel asking **Are you ready to publish?** — glance over your settings, then click **Publish** in that panel to make the page live.

## Tips

- Pages can nest as deeply as you like — a subpage can have subpages of its own.
- The Pages list shows your structure at a glance: child pages are indented under their parent.
- Changed your mind? Open the page, pick a different page from **Parent**, and publish again.

## Summary

You've made a page and given it a home in your site's hierarchy. Repeat those few steps for each standing page, and your site stays easy for visitors to find their way around.
