Building Business Websites with Squarespace 7

Color is not the only way to visual interest to your website. Some templates show banner images or full-screen background images. Other allow you to use textures or patterns in the background of the page or canvas. Using a subtle background texture or pattern can really help make your site feel more alive, but be careful not to overdo it with anything too distracting.
If your template allows background images or banner images, but your business is not a visually-oriented one, you may struggle to find suitable photographs to use in these spaces. Consider using a texture, pattern or abstract image to bring life to the page without needing to use photography.
Some templates, such as the Om template, have settings that can repeat (or tile) a pattern or texture vertically and horizontally so that it fills the entire space of the screen, as shown in the following screenshot:
