Much like pages in a newspaper, web pages on Squarespace are made up of different rectangles, or blocks, of content. However, unlike a block in a newspaper, a Squarespace Block can actually contain much more than just text or images. Squarespace Blocks can contain any of the main types of web content, such as:
Text formatted in a range of styles, such as headlines, subheaders, quotations, or body text
Text hyperlinks or buttons that link to other web pages or files
Images, such as photographs, illustrations or graphic design elements
Multimedia content, such as video or audio, with a player embedded into the page, so visitors can see and hear without downloading files or leaving your site
However, Squarespace Blocks can also contain functions and not just content. For example, there are Squarespace Blocks that allow users to perform tasks on your website, such as:
Using a search box to find things on your website
Filling in a form
Signing up for a newsletter
Making a donation...
