Linking Elements

Adding a link to an element (or any other element):

  1. Click on the picture you’d like to add a title/description to.
  2. Click Set Info in the upper black control-panel.

A Set Info dialog box will appear. In the Set Info box you can add a link to the element.

 

There are several types of links that can be attached to an element:

External Website: Link to an external URL, just insert the URL and choose how the link will open: in a new window or in the same one as your website (it’ll replace your site).

 

Internal Page: Link to one of your website’s internal pages – just choose the right page from the dropdown and click OK.

 

Scroll to element: Allows the browser to scroll down or up to a certain element. This one is a bit tricky but gives a great modern result and is highly recommended for one-pagers and landing-pages.

  1. add a unique “Anchor”  name (it can be any word, without spaces and stuff…) and click OK
  2. in the editor select the item you would like to scroll to and set its info (the gray button on its black control panel).
  3. give it the exact anchor name you inserted to the link.
  4. Click OK
  5. Preview your site and click the element with the link, you’ll see how the browser will nicely scroll to the linked element.

Email: add a link that will automatically open the users’ mail-program. Just add the email and click OK.

Please note that since most users are using cloud-based email-clients (gMail, Yahoo etc.) and not their default local email-client, this option will actually open their outdated outlook program. Consider using the contact form element instead or just write down your email.

For mobile sites: this option is great and recommended – it will open the right e-mail app immediately.

 

Phone: Add a link that will automatically call a number (Only when viewed on mobile phones!) – just add your number and click OK.

 

File download: Great for downloadable PDFs, Docs etc. . add a link that will download a certain file. Click the upload button and upload your file, then click the OK button. Please note that we have a 5MB limit for the files. If you want to allow the download of a bigger file, please upload it to an external service and use a regular external link instead.
