How Do I Link Text to Another Page in Webflow?
Creating links between pages is an essential skill for any web designer. In this tutorial, we will learn how to link text to another page in Webflow.
By using HTML styling elements such as underlined text, bold text,
- and
- for lists, and
,
, etc. for subheaders, we will make this tutorial visually engaging and easy to follow.
Step 1: Create a New Page
To start, let’s create a new page that you want to link your text to. In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the Pages panel on the left-hand side of the screen.
Click on the “+” button to create a new page. Give it a name and click “Create”.
Step 2: Select the Text
Next, select the text that you want to turn into a link on your original page. This can be done by highlighting the text with your cursor.
Step 3: Add the Link
To add a link, we need to wrap our selected text within an anchor tag (
<a>
). An anchor tag is used in HTML to create hyperlinks. Inside the anchor tag, we need to specify two important attributes:- The href attribute: This attribute defines the URL of the page we want to link to. For example, if our new page is named “about.html”, we would set this attribute as
href="about.html"
. - The Target attribute: This attribute specifies how the linked page should open when clicked.
The most common values are “_self”, which opens the page in the same tab, and “_blank”, which opens the page in a new tab. For example,
target="_self"
will open the linked page in the same tab.
Here’s an example of how our anchor tag should look:
<a href="about.html" Target="_self">Selected Text</a>
Step 4: Apply Styling
Now that we have added our link, we can apply additional styling to make it stand out. For example, we can make the text bold or underlined. To do this, we simply wrap our text within the respective HTML styling elements.
If we want to make our text bold, our anchor tag would look like this:
<a href="about.html" Target="_self">Selected Text</a>
If we want to underline our text, our anchor tag would look like this:
<a href="about.html" Target="_self">Selected Text</a>
