Menus
This is where the links at the top of your website live. The links in the footer live here too.
Go to Manage, then Menus.
The four menus
Section titled “The four menus”
Four menus. Only these four show up on your website.
1. Primary Navigation. The links across the top of every page. This is the one you will open.
2. Edit. Opens the menu so you can change its links.
3. The trash icon. Deletes the whole menu. Read the warning below first.
4. Create Menu. Makes a new menu. Read the note below first.
The other three are your footer. Footer: Product fills the Product column, Footer: Company fills the Company column, and Footer: Support fills the Support column.
The gray line under each name tells you how many links it holds.
Changes go live at once
Section titled “Changes go live at once”There is no Save and no Publish on these screens. Add a link and it is on your website that second. Same for a rename, a reorder, or a removal.
That is different from the rest of the panel, where your work waits until you publish. Read Saving and publishing for how the rest of it works.
The menu editor
Section titled “The menu editor”Click Edit on Primary Navigation.
One row is one link. Top of the list is the leftmost link on your website.
1. Add Content. Adds a link by picking one of your pages from a list.
2. Add Custom Link. Adds a link by typing the address yourself. This is the one to use.
3. The arrows. Move a link up or down the list.
4. The trash icon. Removes that link. Read the warning further down.
Between the arrows and the trash icon sits Edit. It opens the link so you can change its words or its address.
Adding a link
Section titled “Adding a link”Click Add Custom Link.
Label is what people read. URL is where they land.
1. Label. The words your visitors see, such as Food Menu. Keep it to one
or two words. Long labels crowd the bar.
2. URL. The address. For a page on your own website, start with a slash:
/pricing, /contact, /gallery. For somewhere else, paste the whole
address, starting with https://.
3. Target. Same window replaces the page they are on. New window opens a second tab and leaves your website open behind it. Use New window for links to other people’s websites, and Same window for your own.
Click Add. The link appears at the bottom of the list, and at the right hand end of the bar on your website.
The same links, on the live site, the moment they were added.
About Add Content
Section titled “About Add Content”Add Content shows you a list of your pages and adds the one you pick.
It works, but it builds a longer address that bounces the visitor through a
second web address on the way. Add Custom Link with /pricing typed in is
tidier, and it is the same amount of work.
Linking to your food menu page
Section titled “Linking to your food menu page”If your website has a food menu, it sits at /menu. Nothing links to it out of
the box, so add the link yourself: Add Custom Link, label Menu, URL
/menu.
Changing the order
Section titled “Changing the order”Use the up and down arrows on each row. One click moves the link one place.
Top of the list is the leftmost link on your website. Bottom of the list is the rightmost, next to the Get A Quote button.
Put the things people came for first. Services and Contact earn their place at the front. Anything nobody clicks belongs at the back, or nowhere.
Renaming a link
Section titled “Renaming a link”Click Edit on its row, change the Label, and click Save.
Removing a link
Section titled “Removing a link”Click the trash icon on the row. The link goes.
Put it back with Add Custom Link and the same label and address.
Do not set a Parent
Section titled “Do not set a Parent”The Edit box has a Parent setting. Leave it on No parent (top level).
