It's totally up to you to decide to put it as a post or a page. I would put it as a page though.

One important difference between them is that Pages are hierarchycal and Posts chronological. You can study each in the Codex to better decide:

  • Seo parts? Like what? I'm not an expert in SEO, but having a good <title> tag, using heading tags when required and good content is enough to get the love from search engines.

  • @Yosef, if you have specific doubts about SEO, open another Question. In summary, you'll control it with the head tags and caring about your content, as rrikesh says. Anyway, go see what a SEO master has to say about WordPress anatomy: yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy, and don't forget the Codex is Your Friend :) . . . . Also, this is not a support forum, please read the FAQ.

It is better if you put about us as a page and not a post. Post is specifically for blogs and date-driven articles, whereas we use pages for important information like home, about us, contact us and services.

  • 'Post is specifically for blogs" was maybe true 15 years ago. if you need a 5 page site there is no difference that you can't control without the need of any plugin.
