Index pages in Squarespace 7.0 organize content from multiple pages into unified layouts, offering three distinct designs: Grid, Stacked, and Slideshow.

Grid Design

• Creates a visual navigation grid with clickable images
• Each image links to a separate page
• Ideal for portfolio-style navigation

Stacked Design

• Presents content in vertically stacked sections
• Allows continuous scrolling through all content
• Similar to an accordion-style brochure

Slideshow Design

• Displays full-width background images
• Features overlay content with page titles
• Perfect for showcasing portfolios or concepts

Adding an Index Page:

1. Open Pages panel
2. Click the + icon
3. Select Index
4. Enter page title
5. Click Submit

Managing Content:

• Add pages under the Index in the Pages panel
• Drag existing pages into the Index
• Reorder pages by dragging them in the Pages panel
• Edit content by clicking Edit on individual pages

Featured Images:

• Add images to all pages/sections
• Images become navigation elements, banners, or backgrounds
• Some templates support featured videos (except Grid Index)

Password Protection:

• Protect main Index Page via page settings
• Stacked Index: Main password protects all subpages
• Grid/Slideshow Index: Add passwords to individual subpages

Style Customization:

• Options vary by template family
• Modify layouts, fonts, navigation elements
• Adjust image sizes, padding, and title display

Special Considerations:

• URLs may include hashtags in certain templates
• SEO handling differs from standard pages
• Social sharing behavior varies by index type

Alternative Solutions: If your template doesn't support Index Pages, consider:

• Creating image grids on Layout Pages
• Adding content sections to Layout Pages
• Using Cover Pages with multiple images

This feature is available in select template families including Bedford, Brine, Montauk, Pacific, Tremont, and York.
