One of the benefits of the old approach to compound Index pages long scrolling pages made up of sections was that you could duplicate sections. This made it easy for you to create a Contact Us strip for example and duplicate it across multiple pages on your website.
This can be a real killer on larger websites. If you have already built your site on 7. Things that used to make sense where they were placed have now been moved into strange locations gold star if you can find blog post categories or Site Title settings! Plus, there are so many things that you used to be able to do in Version 7.
For now, anyway. There are some really great things about Version 7. But here are the things that I think Version 7.
This is a biggie. Now, this has been taken even further. In Version 7. Gone are the days when you could not add banner images on certain page types in certain templates, or had restrictions on gallery styles based on the template. Things that used to be limited to certain templates - for example, an automatic About the Author for blog posts, are now available to everyone.
For example, it would be nice to have the sidebar option or several of the other blog features from Skye, or other features like the multi-nav approach of Brine, or the background image changing on hover from Carson.
Style Themes are preset colours based on a palette and fonts based on a master selection. Same goes for fonts. However, this does have a downside: sometimes you will find yourself wanting to change the colour of a specific element, but leave all other colours alone. You now have multiple paragraph font styles Paragraph 1,2,3,4 , and finally the addition of another heading style Heading 4. So this means you can have many more sizes of text.
And if you change that heading to make the event page look OK, then suddenly all other headings look tiny.
We Squarespace designers always thought the method of creating Index pages was weird. Now, they are simply sections within a page and you can easily add new sections to most page types. More layout presets - and you can preview them more easily. There are many more preset layouts, each with a visual preview so you can see exactly how it will look when you add it to your page.
This makes it a lot easier for design novices to create complex layouts without needing to think too creatively about how it might look.

Support is a big plus — both the knowledge base as well as personal support.
