Navigation and Hyper Links

Today we will discuss navigation and hyperlinks.

Now that you have your index page more or less laid out, it's time to think how are the visitors will move around the site.

Lets talk about how are they going to do this. Well the way they go about your site is through navigation. This will be your menu bar's or hyperlinks also( known as anchor text) or some will call it category listings. These navigation's will take the visitor's to your inner pages. In the navigation listings you can name your index page home.

You can place your navigation either on the left side of the page, or right below your header and some websites do add the navigation on the right side of the website. That's solely up to you.
(When adding the navigation to inner pages, this a must make sure they are in the same exact spot as the index page)

First lets add a menu bar to be linked. You have your menu bar's already in place now lets start linking them.

The first one will be you home page (index page) on most website builder's if you right click it a description box will open's up. Now look where you can name that menu bar this is where you will put down Home. O K you got that done good.Now we will ad a link to that menu bar, look where it say's link. Now to link your home page.

This should be how it will look when written in

If you use text links ( also known as hyperlinks as well as anchor text).

Now to link hyperlinks you will highlight it and in the web builder toolbar you will see a place for links. Click on it a description box will open up and thats where you will add the link.

Thank You come back for more lesson's
