Custom Posts and Fields

Posts are a WordPress feature that typically create blog posts, and they can be categorized and displayed based on those categories. On the back-end we can add another post to organize items, and these are Custom Post Types, or CPTs. Common CPTs are Services, Team Members or Locations.

Fields are a way to add details to those items. If we use Services as an example, some custom fields that can be added would be: service area, tagline, description, photo, price, etc. These details are added using a format that is similar to any other common internet form.

These features make your website dynamic – if you change any of the details, it will update everywhere it is set to display on the website. It makes it incredibly easy to manage and change your data.
