  • Your contact page and about page are definitely why you need pages. They won’t change much, they’ll be pretty static and they fit the bill for pages nicely.

    Your properties may also be OK for pages too. Depends on how many properties that you are managing I suppose. Each property, with its own photos and details could be a page and they might fit neatly as sub-pages and sub-menu items for an overarching property page.

    Where I guess you might employ posts is individual apartments that come up for rental. They will change from time to time and I guess, new rentals come up now and again.

    I’m just thinking out loud here but you should also think about categories to organise your content too.

    Thanks for the reply.

    As of now, my index page has 6 properties.

    3 properties belong to “Apartment-Buildings”
    Building1, Building2, Building3

    3 properties belong to “Apartment-Flats”
    Flat1, Flat2, Flat3

    Building(1,2,3) has Title, Description, Image
    Flat(1,2,3) has Title, Description, Image

    I’m still a little confused what to do for my home page. I’ll worry about the “Available” page once I figure out the index page.

    What is my 1st step?
    What is my 2nd step?

    You don’t have to use posts at all unless you want to for something
    later.
    First, go to Pages, click Add New. Name the page Home (that is what I use it is easy for menus and clarity). Type in at least one word, you will build your page here later with content like your index page. Click Publish.
    Next, go to Settings/Readings. Tick the dot that says “A Static Page”. Choose the page title Home that you made.
    Make sure no post title is selected in Posts Page listing. Leave it as select.

    Now you can build everything like a regular site. Home is the ‘index’ page, every page/parent and child/sub pages you make appears in the menu. The way it does will depend on theme.
    Like Apartment Buildings – you would make a parent page (choose No Parent) when you create it. The building 1 and so forth would be child pages. In the editor when you make the building 1 page, bottom right you choose Apartment Buildings as it’s parent.

    Then just continue with the same method for the other pages just like a regular site. If you want to do posts later, make a post title in posts, go back to Settings/Readings and choose that name in Post Pages. Where it appears, depends on menu setup or custom menu placement.
