Pages and sections are the fundamental building blocks of your Squarespace site. Here's how they work together to create your website structure.

Page Structure

Pages are the main components of your site, appearing as links in your navigation menu. They come in several types:

  • Layout pages: Custom content arrangements
  • Collection pages: For blog posts, events, and products
  • Portfolio pages: Project showcase pages (version 7.1 only)

Building Blocks

Content blocks are versatile elements you can add to any page:

  • Text
  • Images
  • Videos

  • Custom layouts

On version 7.1, page sections provide additional customization:

  • Multiple block areas
