In Squarespace, your website is built using three main components: pages, sections, and blocks. Here's everything you need to know about organizing your site's content effectively.

Pages

• Every page on your site appears as a navigation link in your header
• Build and organize pages through the Pages panel
• Choose from layout pages (custom content arrangements) or collection pages (blogs, events, products)
• Portfolio pages (7.1 only) allow you to showcase projects as sub-pages

Sections and Blocks

• Blocks are content elements for text, images, videos, and audio
• Move, resize, and arrange blocks to create custom layouts
• Version 7.1 features:
  • Page sections for additional block areas
  • Image galleries
  • Automated layouts combining images, text, and buttons
  • Mobile-specific design options

Content Organization Tips

• Set up a clear homepage
• Create dropdown menus for better navigation
• Use tags and categories to filter collection items
• Add external links to navigation
• Hide pages by disabling them or moving to "Not in Navigation"
• Protect content with passwords
• Deleted pages can be restored within 30 days

Best Practices

• Organize content logically in your navigation menu
• Use consistent layouts across similar pages
• Create mobile-friendly designs
• Regularly review and update page structure
• Keep navigation simple and intuitive

This structure helps visitors easily find information while maintaining a professional and organized website appearance.
