These pages can include the array of titles that one has come to expect when visiting a given website including "About," "Services," or "Contact Us" pages that serve to help visitors efficiently navigate your site.
Once the content additions and editing have been completed, the website creator will need to look towards the right side of the screen for a "Publish" button. It will stand out owing to the bright blue color. Once the blue publish button is clicked that particular page will immediately be live online.
Drag and Drop to Organize WordPress Pages
Once the pages have been developed and created and given life with the power of WordPress publication it is time to organize those pages in accordance with your particular choices.
