Websites are, by nature, a very visual means of communication. Graphics play a pivotal role in directing the reader throughout the site. Adobe GoLive is one of the leading applications for website design. Adding links to graphics within GoLive is a moderately simple process. It also keeps a page interesting and limits word count for web readers with short attention spans. This can be done in about four steps.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Adobe GoLive software
  • computer

Step1
Open Adobe GoLive and open up the desired site. Click on the graphic that should be linked. Graphics may be linked to external URL’s or pages within the existing site. After clicking on the desired graphic, the Inspector palette for the specific selected graphic will appear. This allows the user to manage several aspects of the graphic.
Step2
Choose the Link tab under the Inspector palette. The blank field immediately below the Link tab is where the desired URL will be populated.
Step3
Enter an external website in the blank field if the graphic was created to take the user to another site. You may type the link as it would appear in a web browser – http://www.yahoo.com . Skip this step and move to step four if linking to an internal page.
Step4
Select the icon immediately to the left of the blank field under the Link tab and drag the mouse to the page within the site where the graphic should be linked.
Step5
Save all work. Do this by selecting File and then Save. Make sure that permission is acquired for any copyrighted photos.
