Text Links

By adding a link to your text, you are transforming the text into a text link. Clicking on the text link will send your visitor to the specified destination.

Possible destinations include:

  • Web address – links the text to a specified URL
  • Page – links the text to a specified page on your website
  • Document – links the text to an uploaded document (for example, a Download link)
  • Email – links the text to an email address (this will prompt the visitor’s device to open their default mail program to compose and email to you)
  • Anchor - Anchors are invisible position markers especially important for one-page websites.
