by

Linking pages in Webflow is a fundamental skill that every web designer must master. Whether you want to create a seamless user experience or improve your website’s navigation, knowing how to link pages is essential. In this tutorial, we will explore different methods to link pages in Webflow.

Using Text Links

Text links are the most common way to navigate between pages. To create a text link in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Select the text that you want to turn into a link by highlighting it.

  2. Click on the “Link” icon in the toolbar at the top of the page. It looks like a chain link.

  3. A popup window will appear.

    Enter the URL of the page you want to link to in the “URL” field. You can also choose whether to open the link in a new tab or the same tab by selecting from the options provided.

  4. Click “Apply”. Your text is now linked!

You can also add links to images by selecting the image and following the same steps as above.

Creating Navigation Menus

If you want to create a navigation menu with multiple links, Webflow makes it easy:

  1. Create a new section or div block for your navigation menu.

  2. Add an unordered list (<ul>) inside your navigation menu element.

  3. Add list items (<li>) inside the unordered list for each navigation link.

  4. Inside each list item, add a text link using the steps outlined in the previous section.

Your navigation menu should now be functional and ready to use.

Linking to Sections on the Same Page

Webflow allows you to create smooth scrolling to sections within the same page. Here’s how:

  1. Create a new section by adding a div block or container.

  2. Add an id attribute to the section element. This can be done in the “Settings” panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.

  3. Create a text link as discussed earlier and enter the URL as # followed by the id of the section you want to scroll to. For example, if your section has an id of “about”, your URL would be #about.

Now, when users click on this link, it will smoothly scroll them to the desired section on the same page.
