Creating clickable URLs

Adding a clickable URL to your site means that visitors know exactly what page they're opening. You can add URLs to other pages on your site, or to external web addresses.
URLs that you enter directly into a text box automatically become clickable, which means that you don't need to manually add any links. 
Important:
Clickable URLs can currently only be created with an English language URL.

To create a clickable URL:

  1. Add text to your site.
  2. Click Edit Text.
  3. Enter the URL.
