  2. Click 'Create'

  3. Click 'External Link'


Add External Link

  1. Add 'Title'. This is what will appear in your site menu.

  2. Add the 'URL' for the website you are linking to. Ensure the full address is added. If you are unsure, visit the website first and 'copy-and-paste' the full URL address bar from the browser here.

  3. Set 'Behaviour' checkbox: Off will take the viewer to the website in the current browser tab, leaving your site. On will open the website in a new browser tab, meaning your site is still accessible as well as the new site.
