How to link to content within the same page

anchor links

Organizing content on a page can be hard for longer pages of content. You may be worried about the length of the information on you page, especially since top-loading your most important information is a good practice. A way to help your website’s visitors more easily find the information on a long page is to create links within a page (AKA Anchor Links). Creating Anchor Links is a two step process.

The first step is to tag or mark a spot on the page with an Anchor Tag. The easiest method to do this using blocks that are available to you, is to insert a “Heading block” then scroll down to the “Advanced” options on the right side of the editor. In the “HTML Anchor” field, type in a simple name for the anchor tag. The final step is to hyperlink to the tag that was just created.

At the top of the page, type out you link text for each link you want to create. Select the text then click the chainlink icon and then type in a “#” followed by the name of the anchor tag you want to link to. For example, if the anchor tag is named “faculty”, my link would be “#faculty” this tells the browser that you are linking to a spot on the page labelled “faculty” and not another webpage.

You can use this method to link blocks at the top of your page, to content further down and help your site visitors quickly and efficiently get to the information most important to them.
