The three things people mix up first
Question: What's the difference between articles and pages?
Articles are things that keep accumulating and have a chronology — blog posts, knowledge columns. They have categories and tags, and the public site gets a listing page for them. Pages are the handful of fixed ones — home, About us, Contact us. You don't keep adding them, and there's no listing.
Question: And how is the portfolio different from articles?
The two are structurally similar, but their categories and layouts are separate. The portfolio suits image-led content presented in a grid — case studies, projects, product-in-use shots. Articles suit long-form text meant to be indexed by search engines. Keeping them apart means your blog categories don't get tangled up with your case study categories.
Question: Are members, customers and students the same list?
Yes. The same person is called a "customer" in the cart and a "student" in courses, but underneath they are all members. So if someone buys a product and then enrolls in a course, you'll see both records on their member page.
