It is often useful to allow your visitors to access resources and information from external sites. In this article we show you how to create a hyperlink from an image or text that sends your visitors to a page on a different website. When linking to a different site you have two choices. you can open a new window or leave your site completely. We show you how to achieve either of these options with a single click.
link, external page, new window,Follow Step-by-Step
Open the editor and select the text or click the image you want to make click-able.
The full address of all websites starts with 'http://' but we have already completed this bit. Just start with the 'www'.
If you just enter the address of the entire website, not a specific page on that site then we will open the home page of that website.
When linking to an external site you often want to keep your website open in a browser window, otherwise your visitors may leave and never come back.
We give you a dropdown labelled [Open the link in a fresh browser window]. Choose [yes, open a fresh browser window] to keep your clients engaged in your site or choose [No, leave your site when the link is clicked] to let them leave your website entirely.
Just save the editor and test your link.
You will see that the colour of any text will have changes appropriately and the mouse pointer becomes a hand instead of an arrow as you roll over the link
