Squarespace 5 launched in 2008. In 2012, we introduced Squarespace 6, a brand new platform designed to make building and managing your site more modern and intuitive. In 2014, all Squarespace 6 sites upgraded to Squarespace 7, the latest version of our platform. In late 2019, Squarespace released an even newer version of the interface called 7.1.

Squarespace 7 and Squarespace 5 are separate platforms, which means many of their features don't overlap. It's no longer possible to create new Squarespace 5 sites. Squarespace 5 users can move to Squarespace 7 at any time.

Squarespace 7.1

Squarespace 7.1 is a more streamlined version of Squarespace, with new options for adding and styling content. It's not currently possible to migrate directly to Squarespace 7.1, but you can try version 7.1 by starting a new trial with a 7.1 design.

Before you get started, learn more about Squarespace version 7.1 and learn about the differences between version 7.0 and version 7.1.

Am I using Squarespace 5 or Squarespace 7?

Should I switch to Squarespace 7?

Squarespace 7 has many features that Squarespace 5 doesn't, such as mobile-friendly design, video backgrounds, SEO optimization, and eCommerce. However, there are some Squarespace 5 features that don't have a direct equivalent in Squarespace 7, such as the Discussion page. For a list of options on each platform, visit Squarespace 5 vs Squarespace 7 on our Squarespace 5 Help Center.

If you don't need to migrate your Squarespace 5 site content, we recommend starting a new trial on Squarespace 7.1 instead. Squarespace 7.1 also has options for eCommerce and mobile-friendly designs, plus a flexible template built on customizable layouts and page sections. To learn more about Squarespace 7.1, visit Squarespace version 7.1.
