Learn How to Create and Manage Website Pages and Content in Squarespace
Pages and content in Squarespace are organized through a hierarchy of elements that work together to create your website's structure.
Pages are the foundation of your website, each containing sections and blocks. When added to navigation, pages automatically create corresponding links in your website header.

- Layout pages: Allow custom content block arrangements
- Collection pages: Host series of related content (blogs, events, products)

Common Page Management Tasks:
