How To Create Squarespace Anchor Links - Simple Guide

Why Should You Create Squarespace Anchor Links?

As the digital landscape evolves, user experience becomes paramount. Anchor links prove to be a game-changer by allowing visitors to effortlessly jump to specific sections without the hassle of excessive clicks or endless scrolling.

Unlock the seamless navigation potential of your Squarespace website with the power of anchor links on your Squarespace website! In this guide, I'll walk you through the simple yet impactful process of creating Squarespace anchor links. Here’s two different options for creating Squarespace anchor links…

Option 1: Create anchor links on the same page

First choose the section you want to anchor to. Then add a code block above the section.

Paste the following in the code block:

<div id="nameyouranchorlink"></div>

Change “nameyouranchorlink” with any name you like, keeping the speech marks in place. For example, I’m calling this section “pricing”. If your section name has multiple words, separate them with a hyphen (“my-pricing”). Then, click SAVE.

Next create a button (or a text link) whichever you prefer. Then add the name you chose in your code block with a hashtag before it #yourlinkname like the example shown below.

Option 2: Create an anchor link on a separate page

So this will be a similar process to option 1 with just one main difference.

First create your code block in the section you want to link to on your page.

Paste the following in the code block:

<div id="nameyoursection"></div>

Again, change the name inside the speech marks to any name you like.

Then it’s time to create your button or text link anywhere on your website. However, this time, instead of adding just #yourname you will need to add the URL of the seperate page that your code block link is on. For example:

/mypagename#nameyoursection
