When you build your site, you'll use built-in Squarespace 5 modules called pages and widgets. This guide gives an overview of the available pages and widgets, with links to more information.
Pages vs. widgets
- A page creates a separate page on your site where you can add content. It can display as a link in your top navigation or sidebar.
- A widget adds content to your sidebar.
Some modules are available as both a page and a widget. For example, you can create a stand-alone Amazon Item List page, and in your site's sidebar you can add an Amazon Item List widget.
