How to Create a HTML Redirection

Adding a redirect to your HTML page is an effective way to transfer users to another site or page if you have changed the URL of the page people are visiting. One example of a situation in which adding a redirect would be useful is when you have completely redesigned a website and it was easier to simply do the new design work under a new URL than to try to redo all of the design on the previous HTML page.

Instructions

    • 1

      Log in to your Web server.

    • 2

      Open the HTML page from which you want to send users to a new page. This is the page that will include the redirect code.

    • 3

      Insert this code between the <head> and </head> tags near the top of your HTML page:

      <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; URL=http://www.newwebsite.com/index.html">

    • 4

      Replace "http://www.newwebsite.com" with the actual URL of the new page to which you want to redirect users.

    • 5

      Publish the page.
