Set up site navigation and menus

Add menus and navigation so subscribers can move around your site and find the pages that matter to them. A clear menu reduces dead ends, keeps visitors engaged, and makes multi-page sites feel like one coherent experience.

Before you begin​

  • Have your site's pages created (or at least named) so you know what to link to.
  • Decide on your structure: a flat menu of top-level links, or grouped items with dropdown sub-menus.
  • Know which page is your home page, so visitors always have a way back.
  • Have any external URLs ready (for example, a link to your main website or a signup form).
  • (Confirm the exact menu-editing location in your account — navigation settings are usually managed per site.)

Steps​

  1. Open the site you want to edit and go to its navigation or menu settings.
  2. Add a menu item for each page you want visitors to reach. Give each item a short, clear label.
  3. For each item, choose where it points — an existing page on this site, or an external URL.
  4. Arrange the items into the order you want. Drag to reorder, and nest items under a parent to create dropdown sub-menus.
  5. Set your home/logo link so it always returns to the site's main page.
  6. (Optional) Hide any pages you don't want in the menu (for example, a thank-you page reached only after a form).
  7. Save, then preview the site to walk through the menu as a visitor would.

Result​

Your site shows a working menu on every page. Selecting an item takes visitors to the correct page or external link, and the structure reads clearly on both desktop and mobile. Confirm by previewing the live site and clicking through each link and dropdown.
