Pages differ from Posts in that they are not ‘dynamic.’ Which is to say, you make a page and it stays right where you left it. You can configure a page to display dynamic content, but that is beyond the scope of this article.
WordPress.org explains it pretty well, so without further ado:
In WordPress, you can write either posts or pages. When you’re writing a regular blog entry, you write a post. Posts automatically appear in reverse chronological order on your blog’s home page. Pages, on the other hand, are for content such as “About Me,” “Contact Me,” etc. Pages live outside of the normal blog chronology, and are often used to present information about yourself or your site that is somehow timeless — information that is always applicable. You can use Pages to organize and manage any amount of content.
To create a page, simply select Pages > Add New from your admin bar. Make sure to name it something relevant as by default your Page title will be what shows up in search engines, your navigation, and in different areas of your site.
Next, fill your page with content, select publish, and you’re done.
