How to Create Anchor Links Within a Landing Page

If you want your students to click a button in one of your CTA sections and be directed to a different section on the same landing page, you can do this with anchor tags!

The anchor tag code will consist of two HTML elements:

1. Anchor
2. Link

Create an Anchor

An anchor can be inserted into the heading field of the section you want the link to jump to on your landing page.

To create an anchor:

1. Copy this anchor format: <a name="anchorname">Heading Name</a>
2. Replace anchorname in step 1 with your desired anchor text, like pricing
3. Replace Heading Name in step 1 with your desired heading text, like Pricing Options
4. You will now have an anchor like this: <a name="pricing">Pricing Options</a>
5. From your Admin Dashboard, select Channels
6. Select Website
7. Choose a page to open in Site builder by clicking the pencil icon
8. Click on your desired section
9. In the Heading field of that section, paste your anchor
10. Click Save
    
     

Creating a Link

Now, you'll want to create the anchor link inside one of your CTA sections. You can do this easily by linking a CTA button to a custom URL. Here is an example of what your custom URL would look like:

https://yoursite.thinkific.com/courses/my-demo-course#pricing

To create an anchor link:

1. Copy the URL of your landing page. Common links on your Thinkific site include:
   Course landing page URL
   Home Page URL
   Custom Page URL
2. Append #anchorname to the end of your URL
3. Replace anchorname in step 2 with the custom anchor name you originally created

For example, if your course landing page URL was https://yoursite.thinkific.com/courses/my-demo-course and your anchor was named pricing, your URL would look like this: 

https://yoursite.thinkific.com/courses/my-demo-course#pricing

Add your anchor link to a CTA button:

Several Site Builder Sections include CTA buttons. In this example, we will use a Call to action section.

1. From your Admin Dashboard, select Channels
2. Select Website
3. Choose a page to open in Site builder by clicking the pencil icon
4. Click Add section
5. Scroll or Search for Call to action
6. Click on Call to action to add it to your page
7. Click Button to expand button details
8. In the Text field, input your desired button text
9. Under Link, scroll to the bottom and select Custom URL
10. Paste your anchor link into the link field
11. Click Save
    

Congrats! You have created an anchor link. Make sure to test out the anchor link on your live landing page. Chrome's Incognito mode works great for testing!
