Pages and content form the foundation of any Squarespace website, utilizing a hierarchical structure of pages, sections, and blocks to organize information effectively.

Pages Overview A Squarespace website consists of multiple pages, each containing various sections and blocks. When added to navigation, pages automatically create corresponding links in your website header.

Types of Pages:

• Layout pages: Create custom content arrangements
• Collection pages: Organize specific content like blogs, events, and products
• Portfolio pages (v7.1): Display project groups as subpages

Sections and Blocks Blocks serve as the basic content units for adding:

• Text
• Images
• Videos
• Audio
• Custom layouts

In version 7.1, page sections provide additional customization options:

• Page areas for expanded block placement
• Image galleries
• Auto-layouts for images, text, and buttons
• Creative Editor for unique block arrangements and mobile-specific designs

Content Organization Optimize your website's navigation with these features:

• Homepage setup
• Dropdown menus for hierarchical navigation
• Tags and categories for collection filtering
• External link integration
• Page visibility controls
• Password protection
• 30-day page recovery after deletion

Block Management You can:

• Move blocks freely
• Adjust block sizes
• Create columns and rows
• Delete unwanted blocks
• Customize mobile layouts (v7.1)

Best Practices

1. Plan your navigation structure before building
2. Use consistent layout patterns across pages

This framework provides the essential tools for creating a well-organized, user-friendly website that effectively presents your content to visitors.
