Create a link or button

Links take people from one place on the internet to another place. On the AGNR Websites, links are typically red text.

Buttons work just like regular links, but they look bigger and bolder, the better to attract attention when you want visitors to click on them.

Follow the steps below to insert a link or button into your text.

Steps

Type the text of your link/button.

It’s vital to use descriptive terminology that tells the user what the link will do. “Subscribe today” is a good example. “Click here” is bad.



Turn the text into a link.

Highlight the text, and click the Link button () in your toolbar.

In the popup dialog, fill out the URL field with the path to wherever you want the button to go (you can type the title of a page on your site to link to that page).

Click “Save.”

Stop here if you want a regular link. If you want to turn it into a button, continue!

Add button styling

With the link selected, click the “Styles” dropdown in the editor toolbar.

Select any of the styles beginning with the word “Button. The image at the top of this page demonstrates how the different styles will appear.


All done! Your link is now a button!
