Stop Using Squarespace Page Types Based On Their Name

A Squarespace blog doesn’t have to be for blogging. An events page doesn’t have to list actual events. And a store can do a lot more than sell physical products. In this video, I’m sharing a different way to think about Squarespace collection pages: choose the page type based on the functionality your content needs, not simply the name Squarespace gave it. I’ll show you real examples of how I use Squarespace blogs, events, and store pages in ways you might not expect—including a staff directory built with blog posts, a software release log built with events, and services offered through a Squarespace store. The big idea? Before you decide what type of Squarespace page to create, ask what you actually need that content to *do*.
