### Pages

![](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/13tutorial/adding-a-new-page/Pages-icon.png)

As you already know, the **Pages** application allows you to manage, update, and delete your existing pages. You also understand that pages store the content of the website in the database and that not all items in the Pages' content tree are presented on the live site. And you've learned there are two ways of working with your website’s content – via the **Content** tab and the **Page** tab. Here's a short comparison of these editing options:

| The Content tab                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   | The Page tab                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

### Page types

Each page in the admin application's content tree is of a specific type – a _page type_. The pages on the Dancing Goat MVC website use different page types, such as _Contacts_, _Landing Page_, or _Products_.

The page types define **the underlying data structure of pages**. Your developers create the page types' structure with **fields** in which you add or edit the content or upload files. They organize the page types into a system of **parent** and **child** **page** types. This hierarchy helps you **build the structure of pages** in the content tree. They set the limitations to **ensure** **your data** is **correctly** **stored** in the database **and** properly **displayed** on the live site.

What exactly does it mean? For example, on the Dancing Goat's website, you can only add new pages with specific page types under their tree. If you add a new page under _Articles_, you can only add a page of the _Article_ page type or the _Article section_ page type.

### Adding new pages

You can add new pages to your website in the **Pages** application. To create a new page:

1. Select the content tree item under which you want to add a new page.
2. Click the **New** () button in the action buttons.
3. Click the _page type_ which you want to use for your new page.

🎬 [Video](https://docs.kentico.com/docsassets/13tutorial/adding-a-new-page/adding-a-new-page-type-720.mp4)

Depending on the page type you selected, your new pages open either the **Page** tab or the **Content** tab. In case there is only _one allowed page type_ that can be used for the child page, clicking the **New** button creates the page and automatically takes you to the respective tab.

If you find out you need new page types with a new set of rules, turn to your developers, and they will prepare it for you.

&#x20;**Task:**

Your copywriter prepared a new article _Local coffee shops on the rise_, and sent you all the resources. You are responsible for publishing the article in two days on the new page in your _Articles_ section. (You can find the article materials in the _Adding a new page_ folder in the tutorial resources.)
