Understanding Squarespace pages

Squarespace comes with a range of different page 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 pages, 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.
