A link to a Web site is a spot on a Web page that, when clicked, takes the visitor to the Web address (URL) specified in the link definition. This link can be in the form of text or a graphic, either of which the visitor clicks to go to the other site.
The link is created in HTML with a Web-editing tool, such as Adobe Dreamweaver. The HTML "a" tag is used to define links to other websites.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Web-page editing software
  1. Step 1

    Open the Web-editing software and page you want to add the link to.

  2. Step 2

    Click and drag the text or graphic you want to use as the link.

  3. Step 3

    Enter the full link address on your Web site, starting with the "http://" prefix in the link-definition box in your Web-editing tool. In Dreamweaver, the box is located at the bottom of the screen in Properties Inspector. If you are working in the straight HTML rather than a WYSIWYG interface, do step 4.

  4. Step 4

    Enter an "a href" tag to define the link to your website: <A HREF="http://YOUR_DOMAIN_ADDRESS">Link Text Goes Here></A> at the point in your HTML file where you want the link to appear, using your Web site address in place of YOUR_DOMAIN_ADDRESS.

  5. Step 5

    Click the File menu, then Save to save the changes to your Web-page file.

  6. Step 6

    Open the file in a web browser to test the link.

Tips & Warnings
  • To add a link to your Web site on someone else's site you will need to get permission from the owner of that site.
