3. How to Add Links to Images and Buttons

Links are vital for connecting your visitors with other parts of your website or external resources. Whether it’s linking to your service page, an external blog, or a contact form, adding links to images or buttons provides a seamless experience for users to navigate your site.

4. How to Add a New Section

Sections help you break down your content into manageable pieces, making it easier for visitors to consume. Whether you’re adding a new service, updating your blog section, or introducing a testimonial carousel, sections allow you to structure your content for maximum impact. Well-placed sections improve the overall user experience, guiding visitors to what they need with ease.

Step 1: On the left hand tool bar, click on the "Section" tab.

Step 2: Click to select a blank section, or choose a section template.
Step 3: This will add it to the bottom of the page. Edit and move that section to wherever you need it!
