Adding links to pages on your website
Overview
In your website admin panel you have the ability to add new pages. Once saved, they are made public, but they're not automatically listed on any site menus. The following describes how to add these pages to specific parts of your website.
Adding pages to your Services, Transparency or Council-wide plans section
The Services, Transparency and Council-wide plans sections are pages dedicated to signposting people to your pages or external links.
- Go to the "Signposting Pages" menu
- Click on the title of either Services or Transparency (or any other signposting page you have)
The page is structured into Subtitles and Links. This allows you to group links together for different themes.
To add a new link to a Subtitle section:
- Click on "Add Row"
- Click on "Select Link"
- Either search for an existing Page within your website (highlighted in red below), or manually enter a link and text (highlighted in blue below). The latter is usually used for external links.
- Click "Update" in the top right of the page.
You can add additional Subtitles by clicking "Add Row" at the very bottom of the page. You can then give it a title and add some links.
Add links to your Quick Links section on the homepage
This section is for adding links that your visitors will find relevant or useful.
- Click on "Home" in the admin panel
- Scroll down to "Homepage links and summaries"
- You can add new links by clicking "Add Row" and selecting the page. Or you can replace links by clicking the Pencil icon.
Adding Popular Links
Popular links show when a visitor:
- clicks the Search button,
- scrolls down to the footer, or,
- views a news article.
To add a new Popular Link:
- Click on the "General" menu item
- You can add, edit or remove popular links in the first section.
