# Content items

Content items are containers that Ibexa DXP uses to store content data.

A content item is a single piece of content: an article, a blog post, an image, or a product. Each content item has general characteristics, such as name and identifier. It also contains [fields](https://doc.ibexa.co/projects/userguide/en/latest/content_management/content_model/#fields-and-field-types). These fields can differ depending on what kind of content you're dealing with. An *article* content item may consist of fields, for example, *title*, *name*, *author*, *body*, *image*, or *subscriber teaser*. A *product* content item may have, for example, *product name*, *category*, *price*, *size*, or *color*, as fields.

In Ibexa DXP, you create content items based on templated called [content types](https://doc.ibexa.co/projects/userguide/en/latest/content_management/content_model/#content-types).
