### Pages
As you already know, the **Pages** application allows you to manage, update, and delete your existing pages. You also know that pages store the content of the website in the database and that they may not necessarily be presented on the live site. And you also know there are two ways of working with your website’s content – via the Content tab, and the Page tab.
| The Content tab | The Page tab |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Enables you to work with the structured content
Allows you to focus only on the quality of your content, not on how it is presented on the page
Developers prepare the exact structure for collecting the content
Stores pre-defined types of content, such as _headline_, _body copy_ or _image_, in specific fields
Used for pages with a repeated structure (e.g., _Articles_ or _Products_) or which don't change their presentation (e.g., _About_ or _Contact_ pages) | Enables you to manage content using Kentico page builder
Allows you to adjust the position of the content
You don't need developers to change the structure of a page
More dynamic, allows you to change the content whenever you need
Most useful for high traffic pages where you want to tailor the design to specific goals, such as _campaign landing pages._ |
### Page types
Each _content-only page_ in the admin application's content tree is of a specific type – a _content-only page type_. The pages on the Dancing Goat MVC website are built using different pages types, such as _Contacts_, _Landing Page_, _Products_, etc.
The page types define the underlying data structure of pages. Your developers create the page types and determine their structure by adding fields in which you add or edit the content or upload files. They also decide if you are able to view pages based on this page type on the **Page** tab. By setting up a hierarchy of allowed page types, they help you build the structure of pages in the content tree. These limitations ensure that the data is correctly stored in the database and properly displayed on the live site.
What exactly does it mean? For example, in the Dancing Goat, you can only add new pages with certain 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 of 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.
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 takes you to the respective tab automatically.
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.
