To make your H1 header in Webflow clickable, you can use the following steps:

  1. Select your H1 header element: In the Webflow Designer, locate the H1 header element on your page and select it.

  2. Convert it to a link: In the right sidebar panel, under the "Styles" tab, scroll down and click on the "+ Add element" button. From the dropdown menu, select "Link Block."

  3. Configure the link: With the new link block selected, you can see a settings icon (gear icon) on the right side of the panel. Click on it to open the settings. Enter the URL you want your H1 header to link to in the "Link URL" field. You can either input the full URL or use Webflow's built-in link options.

  4. Apply styling: Customize the appearance of the link block to match the design of your H1 header. You can adjust the font, text color, background color, and other visual properties under the "Typography" and "Background & Border" sections in the Styles panel.

  5. Arrange layers (optional): If your H1 header has any other elements on top of it (e.g., images, text, etc.), you may need to bring the link block to the top layer, ensuring it covers the header completely. To do this, select the link block, right-click, and choose "Bring to Front" or use the "Arrange" options in the top toolbar.

  6. Preview and refine: After completing these steps, you can preview your website to see the H1 header now functioning as a clickable link. If needed, make further adjustments to the styling or placement until you achieve the desired result.

By following these steps, you can easily convert your H1 header into a clickable link in Webflow. This can be useful for creating interactive navigation menus, promotional banners, or any other element that requires both a header and a link.

Additional Tips:

  • Ensure that the link destination you set is relevant and meaningful for users, as well as optimized for search engines by using relevant keywords in the URL.
  • Consider adding hover effects or other interactive animations to enhance the user experience and make the link more visually appealing.
  • Remember to test the link on different devices and screen sizes to ensure it maintains functionality and proper appearance.
  • If you want to track clicks and gather analytics for the link, you can integrate Webflow with third-party services like Google Analytics or Matomo.
