Website builder: Creating a hyperlink
Overview
Hyperlinks are used to convert regular text into a clickable link that redirects to a different web page. They can be used throughout the Storeganise website builder to create links anywhere you can add or edit text. This means you are not restricted to only using links within the block types that support them natively. Additionally, hyperlinks function using URLs, which also means you can link to virtually any website, whether it is a part of the custom website builder pages or not.
Follow the steps below to create your own hyperlink:
- Within the website builder, navigate to the block that has the text that you want to convert into a hyperlink, then click the pencil icon to edit the block contents.
- Copy and paste the following HTML code into the text field and replace link text with the text you are intending to convert into the hyperlink.
<a href="url">link text</a>
- Next, copy the URL you want the link to direct to and replace url with it in the code above (note: do not delete the quotation marks). In this example, we are turning the text "click here" into a link to storeganise.com.
- Click save and you will see in the preview window of the website builder that the text has turned blue, indicating the hyperlink has been established.
- Finally, navigate to the live website page and click the hyperlink to confirm it is functioning correctly.
