Adding Links

You can add links from your website to another website or a page or resource in your own website.

The links can be placed either on the Main Menu (or in a sub-menu dropdown of your main menu), or on any page by using a Text Widget or Card Widget.

The Main Menu, Text and Card Widgets all have a Link Chooser, which has four types of content to link to: a Page, a Web Address, an Email and a Document.

NOTE: To add a link to a Text Widget, type the text you want to be the link then click the 'chain' icon to open the Link Chooser.

To link to a page (or feature) within your Site:

1. Use the Page tab 
2. Enter the 'Title to appear on menu' (option only appears if using the link chooser in a 'menu')
3. Click in the Which Page? box and either scroll down to find the item to link to OR click 'Search...' and start typing the title of the item to link to.
4. Select the item
5. Click Done

To link to a website (or file) outside of your Site:

1. Use the Web Address tab
2. Enter the 'Title to appear on menu' (option only appears if using the link chooser in a 'menu')
3. Enter the web address URL of where you want the link to take visitors - including the http://
   (tip: Sometimes it's easiest to open the webpage and copy and paste the website's URL from your browser's address bar)
4. Set where the link will open:
   > New Window - opens the linked page in a new browser tab - leaving your site open for people to come back to. (recommended for links which take visitors away from your website)
   > Same Window - the page linked to will replace the page the visitor's on (recommended for Local Links within your website in most cases)
5. Click Done

To create a link that opens creates an email for the user to send a message:

1. Use the Email tab
2. Enter the 'Title to appear on menu' (option only appears if using the link chooser in a 'menu')
