Squarespace comes with a range of different types to suit different purposes. Some of these are very straightforward and easy to understand, while others are a bit more complex and can seem a little confusing at first. There are four main categories of page, and they are:
- Standard page: This is a single, normal web page that contains no subpages.
- Collection Page: This is a page that links to, and/or contains, multiple items within it, such as a Gallery or Blog.
- Cover Page: This is a simplified, bold page with a large background image and minimal content.
- Page cluster: This is a set of pages that are grouped together for navigational purposes.
The latter term, page cluster, does not appear in any of the Squarespace documentation, as this is a term I have adopted to help make this concept easier to understand. These are the terms we will use throughout the rest of the book, so let's dig a little deeper into each category.
