Change your menu and footer links

Your menu is the row of links across the top of every page. On phones, it folds into a menu button. You decide which pages go in it and in what order. The same screen also handles the small links at the very bottom of your site and the highlighted button in the top corner.

Add a page to the menu

1. Click Menu in the left menu.
2. Under Main menu, look for Pages not in the menu. Each page that isn't linked yet has its own button.
3. Click a page's button. It's added to the end of your menu, using the page's name as the label.

To add any other link, like your online store on another website, click Add menu link. Then:

1. Type the Label. This is the word visitors see. Keep it short; the box allows 24 characters.
2. In Goes to, pick one of your pages, your phone number or email address, or Another website… to paste a link.

Change the order

Each menu link has buttons on its right:

• Move up and Move down change its place in the menu.

Click a button several times to move a link further. There's no drag and drop yet.

Make a dropdown

A dropdown tucks several links under one menu item, like all your services under "Services".

1. Put the links you want in the dropdown right below the item they belong under.
2. On each one, click Put in dropdown under the item above. The link moves in under that item.
3. To take a link back out, click Move out of dropdown.

Dropdowns go one level deep. You can't put a dropdown inside another dropdown.

Rename or remove a menu link

• Rename: change the Label. The page itself keeps its name. Only the menu wording changes.
• Remove: click Remove from menu (the trash can). The page stays on your site. It just isn't in the menu anymore. You can add it back from Pages not in the menu.

Footer links

Footer links are the small links at the very bottom of every page, next to your copyright line. They're a good home for a privacy policy or terms page.

1. Under Footer links, click Add footer link.
2. Type the Label and pick where it Goes to.
3. To remove one, click Remove link.

A footer link with no label or no destination isn't shown on your site.

Your footer also has an Explore column. It lists your home page plus every link in your main menu, so you don't need to add those again.

Your address, phone, email, hours, tagline and social links show in the footer too. Change those in Business info. See Business info and hours.

The header button

The Header button is the highlighted button at the top right of every page, like "Get a free quote".

1. Type the Button text.
2. Pick where it Goes to. Your contact page or your phone number work well.

To hide the button, clear the Button text box.

Tips

• Keep your menu to about five or six links so it fits on one line. Use a dropdown for the rest.
• When you change a page's web address, its menu link updates for you. Footer links and the header button don't, so check them. See Add a page.
• Deleting a page removes its menu link, but not footer links or buttons that point to it.
• Your phone number shows in the header automatically when it's filled in under Business info.
• Don't forget to click Publish when you're done. See Getting started.
