When should I use anchors and how do I add them to my wix page?

Answer 1

Anchors are invisible markers that help visitors jump directly to specific sections of a page—like a shortcut or bookmark. They're especially useful for one-page websites, long content sections, or in-page navigation menus.

🧭 When to Use Anchors

Use anchors when you want to:

1. Create a table of contents or in-page menu.
2. Link buttons or text to a specific section (e.g., “Learn More” scrolls to the About section).
3. Improve accessibility and user experience by reducing scrolling.
4. Share direct links to specific parts of a page (great for newsletters or social media).

🛠️ How to Add Anchors in Wix

✅ In Wix Editor (Classic Wix)

1. Open your site in the Wix Editor.
