Adding Anchor Links

An anchor link is a type of website link that doesn't direct to a page, but rather to a section of a page. Typically used on one page parallax sites, their purpose is to provide a better content experience on a long page. These types of links are also useful for quick referencing or FAQs.

Adding an Anchor Link in Content

To add an anchor link within your content:

Highlight the text you'd like to anchor
Select the anchor button
Give your Anchor a name but make sure it's not too short or too long
Click OK to finalize your anchor

To Link an Anchor:

Highlight the text you'd like to anchor to
Select the hyperlink button
Under the 'link type' drop down, select Link to anchor in this text
Select the anchor you've designated in the first step
Click OK to finalize

You're done!

Adding an Anchor Link to a Menu Item

It is typically not suggested to anchor link a menu option unless you're creating a one page website. If you did want to add anchor links within the menu structure, however, these are the simple steps to add the link:

Add the menu item through the Menu Software and name it whatever you'd like
Under 'type' select custom link
Enter the name of the anchor link by using the following equation:

/ Name of your page # Name of your Anchor

The / indicates you're calling a page from within your website
The name of your page indicates which page you're pointing to
The name of your anchor indicates the anchor text you're asking it to go to
