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.

Change the name of the anchor to something that describes the content (e.g. "About" or "Services").

Click Pages and Menu on the left side of the editor.
Click Add Menu Item.
Select Anchor, and on the pop-up, select the relevant anchor under Where on the page?.
