Creating subpages in Squarespace is a great way to organize your content and improve navigation on your website. Subpages allow you to group related content under a main page, making it easier for visitors to find what they’re looking for. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating subpages step-by-step.
Step 1: Access the Pages Panel
- Log into your Squarespace account and navigate to the website where you want to create subpages.
- In the left sidebar, click on “Pages.” This will open the Pages panel where you can manage your site’s navigation.
Step 2: Create a Main Page
If you haven’t already created a main page for your subpages, you’ll need to do that first.
- Click the “+” icon next to the Main Navigation section.
- Select “Page” from the dropdown menu.
- Name your new page (e.g., “Services,” “Products,” etc.) and click “Save.”
Step 3: Create a Dropdown for Subpages
Now that you have your main page, you can create a dropdown menu for your subpages.
- In the Pages panel, click the “+” icon again.
- This time, select “Dropdown.” An empty dropdown will appear in the Pages panel.
- Enter a title for your dropdown (e.g., “Our Services”).
Step 4: Add Subpages to the Dropdown
Now it’s time to add your subpages under the dropdown you just created.
- Click on the dropdown menu you just created.
- Click the “+” icon inside the dropdown.
- Select “Page” to create a new subpage.
- Name your subpage (e.g., “Consulting,” “Design,” etc.) and click “Save.”
- Repeat this process for any additional subpages you want to add.
Step 5: Organize Your Pages
Once you’ve added all your subpages, you can easily organize them.
- You can drag and drop subpages within the dropdown to reorder them as needed.
- If you want to move a subpage out of the dropdown, simply drag it to the Main Navigation section.
Step 6: Preview and Publish
After setting up your subpages, it’s essential to preview how they look on your site.
- Click on the “Preview” button at the top right corner of your Squarespace editor.
- Navigate through your main page and dropdown to ensure everything appears as intended.
- Once satisfied, click “Save” to publish your changes.
