This video applies to version 7.0.

Add a new page

To add a page to your site's navigation menu, you'll add the page to the main navigation in the pages panel. For an overview of the pages panel and its sections, visit The pages panel.

How you add pages depends on which version of Squarespace your site is on, and whether you're editing on a computer or in the Squarespace app.

• Version 7.1
• Version 7.0

• Squarespace app

• Open the Pages panel.

• Click the + icon next to the main navigation. To add it to a dropdown, click + Add page under the dropdown.

• Click + Add Blank to start with a blank page or blog, or click a category to choose from a variety of pre-built layouts and collections.

• Enter a page title in the text field and press Enter.

• Open the Pages panel.

• Click the + icon next to main navigation (sometimes called the primary or top navigation). To add it to an Index or dropdown, click Add page under the index or dropdown.

• In the Create new page menu, click the type of page you want to add.

• Enter a page title in the text field and press Enter.

Some templates have extra navigation sections that display page links on different areas of your site.

1. Tap More, then tap Pages.
2. Tap the + icon or Add in the navigation section where you want the new page to appear.
3. Tap the type of page you'd like to create. To learn about what types of pages you can add, review Supported pages in the Squarespace app.
4. Double tap the page title field and enter a page title. You can change this later.

Layout pages

Layout pages are where you add combinations of blocks to create custom layouts of text, images, audio, forms, and more. Layout pages vary depending on which version of Squarespace your site is on.

• Version 7.1
• Version 7.0

In version 7.1, a layout page is any page you create other than collection pages. When adding a layout page, you can click + Add Blank, then click Page to design the page from scratch, or click a category to choose from different pre-built layouts with placeholder blocks for specific purposes.

When you add a layout page, you can choose between a blank page, where you create the layout from scratch, or a pre-built layout designed for certain uses, like contact pages and about pages. These layouts have placeholder blocks to help you get started and are completely customizable.

Collection pages

Collection pages are home to sets of content items, like products, blog posts, or events. Collection pages include:

• Blog
• Course (version 7.1 only)
• Events
• Portfolio (version 7.1 only)
• Store (called “Products” in some version 7.0 templates)
• Videos (version 7.1 only)

Version 7.0 sites also support album pages and gallery pages.

Except for album pages, collection pages have a two-level structure. Visitors can view a collection page, like a blog page, then click individual collection items, like a blog post, to view an item-specific page.

Other options

You can add other features to your navigation or customize what navigation displays to help organize your pages and link to external content:

• Version 7.1

• Version 7.0

• Dropdowns group multiple pages into a drop-down menu in your navigation.

• Links create navigation links to external content or your own content, sorted by tags or categories.
• Member Sites build a set of pages that visitors sign up to access.
• Remove the navigation from pages by hiding the header.

• Hide the footer from specific pages.

• Dropdowns group multiple pages into a drop-down menu in your navigation.

• Links create navigation links to external content or your own content, sorted by tags or categories.

Depending on your template, you may be able to add other page types:

• Cover pages act as a bold splash page or distinctive single page on any template, incorporating full-bleed images and other special features. Cover pages have a more fixed design than other pages, helping you concentrate on a simpler message.
• Index pages present multiple pages of content in a single location. Pages in the index appear as a grid of images, single continuous pages, or other unique designs. Designs vary between templates, and not all templates support index pages.
• Info pages are special pages, only available in the Aviator family. They function similarly to a cover page.

Save and reuse page layouts (Circle and Enterprise only)

Circle Partners and team administrators on an Enterprise plan can save layout pages to a catalog in their account that they can then reuse on any version 7.1 site where they have editing permissions. They can save up to 100 pages to their account.

1. Open the Pages panel.
2. Hover over a layout page, then click next to the title.
3. Click Save Page To Your Account.
4. Enter a name for the page.
5. Click Save.

Every template includes demo pages that highlight features and design possibilities. These example pages have a Demo label to the right of the page title. To learn more about using or removing these pages, visit Working with demo content.

Supported pages in the Squarespace app

In the Squarespace app, different options for adding and editing pages appear depending on which version of Squarespace you're using, and if you're on an iOS or Android device. Use this table to review which page types you can add or edit in the app.
