Wix Editor: Creating a Site Menu with Anchors and Sections for One-Page Sites

3 min read
Even though one-page sites cannot have a regular site menu (with tabs that link to different pages), you can create a site menu with anchor and section links instead. 
You can place anchors and sections wherever you like on your one-page site, and when your visitors click the links on your menu, they are directed to the relevant part of the page.
In this article, learn more about:

Adding an anchor to your site menu

Guide visitors directly to the content they’re looking for with anchors in your site's menu. You can place multiple anchors within a section, so your visitors can easily access different points of interest. 

To add an anchor to your menu:

  1. Add an anchor to your site.
  2. Drag the anchor to the top of a page section.
  3. Change the name of the anchor to something that describes the content (e.g. "About" or "Services").
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each anchor on your site.
  5. Click Pages and Menu on the left side of the editor.
  6. Click Add Menu Item
  7. Select Anchor, and on the pop-up, select the relevant anchor under Where on the page?.
  8. Click Done.
  9. Rename the menu link to something that describes that page content (e.g. "About" or "Services").
    Tip: It can be the same anchor name as you previously entered.
  10. Repeat steps 5-9 for each anchor.
