What is an outbound link?
An outbound link, also called an external link, is a link from your website to a different website.
How can I create an outbound link in the Site Builder?
Click on Edit Site under the My Sites section
Click on Edit Site in the top right corner
Click on Pages at the top
Select a page from the left menu where you want to create the link
Select the text that you want to use for your link
Click on the chainlink icon
Click on Website URL
If you’d like to link to one of the pages on your website, select Standard Page instead, and then select the Page that you want to link.
Insert the destination URL in the INSERT URL field
(Optional) Uncheck the Open in new window box if needed
It is recommended that the link opens in a new window (tab) so your potential customer does not navigate away from your website. When left unchecked, the link will take your visitor to the destination URL in the same tab.
Click anywhere outside of the box
Your link has been created!
Tip:
Make sure to add all relevant links to your pages and then re-publish your website for your changes to take effect. You may also need to clear your browser's cache and cookies in order to see those changes reflected on your end.
