Adding new pages to your site menu

When you add a new page, a new item is automatically added to your site menu and has the name of the page. You can add a new page to your site from the Pages & Menu panel.

To add a new page to your menu:

  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click Pages & Menu    on the left side of the editor.
  3. Click Add Page at the top of the panel.
  4. Choose the page template from the options or click + Blank Page.
  5. Enter the new page name.
  6. Click Done.
The Add Page panel in the Wix Editor.
Tip:
If you rename the page in the Pages & Menu panel, it automatically updates on your site menu. It also goes the other way around – if you rename the item on your site menu, it automatically updates the Pages & Menu panel.

Add any link you need to your site menu, whether it's an external URL, an email address, a document, etc. The link looks like a regular item on your site menu, but when your visitors click it, the link destination opens. Choose whether it opens in the same window or a new window.

To add a link to your menu:

  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click Pages & Menu    on the left side of the editor.
  3. Click the Add Menu Item at the bottom of the panel.
  4. Click Link.
  5. Select the link type and enter the link details. 
  6. Choose whether your link opens in a new window or the current window. 
  7. Click Done.
  8. Enter the name for the menu item.
  9. Click Done.

Adding a subpage dropdown menu

Create a dropdown subpage menu within your site navigation to keep it organized and user-friendly. Choose between two options: turn an existing menu item into a clickable title for your dropdown, or add a new non-clickable menu title to organize your subitems beneath it.

To add a dropdown menu:

  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click Pages & Menu    on the left side of the editor.
  3. Choose what to do next:
