Understanding Anchor Links

ℹ️ What is an Anchor Link? Also referred to as jump links, these allow you to create a link that not only goes to a specific page, but also to a specific section on that page, if it has multiple sections.

A simple two-step process!

Step 1: Create the anchor

• Go to “EDIT SECTION” menu in any section, of any page.
• scroll to the bottom of the menu that opens in the Design tab
• use the #URL field to add a word & create a shortcut to that section
  • examples:
    • add #form as anchor → link turns into yourdomain.com/contact#form
    • add #pricing as anchor → link turns into yourdomain.com/services#pricing
• Save changes

Step 2: Create the trigger

Now link a button, text, or image to create the trigger, which causes the action (when clicked) of the actual page or section jump.

• Add that anchor to any linked element on your website!
  • examples:
    • edit button link to be: #form → will jump down to the anchored section on the SAME page as the trigger
    • edit button link to be: /contact#form → will take viewers to the right page first, then jump down to the anchored section on; format used for anchors on a DIFFERENT page than the trigger
    • edit button link to be: #pricing → will jump down to the anchored section on the SAME page as the trigger
    • edit button link to be: /services#pricing→ will take viewers to the right page first, then jump down to the anchored section on; format used for anchors on a DIFFERENT page than the trigger
• Save changes
