How about pages?

Pages will contain infrequently changing blurb about you or your organisation – e.g. Contact Us or About Us, but can also be important pages like your front page or any special landing page – for a big event or an initiative.

You can insert pretty much anything into a page, including your latest news, ready made patterns and all the blocks that come with WP by default.

However, many of the things that feature on post types, like categories and tags, and date stamp, are missing on pages and not so suitable for date sensitive information.

Like posts they can support different page templates and can be useful in creating thematic areas for your content.

Use pages and menus to help you create an initial legible website structure, but remember that pages are not checked very frequently by search engines, so only publish them when you are ready to go (or make your site non searchable while you play).

Always use posts to keep your readers up to date. Keep your post to page balance as high as possible if you want to engage your audience and be noticed.

If you create an important new page or if updating a page, signpost the change with a post announcing the new item. Page items are not syndicated and the content is less easily found by search engines.

If you want your new site to be invisible (while you make changes) make it hidden from search engines or make it available only to logged in users. Only use this option temporarily or you’ll quickly fade into obscurity.
