To create a link to a specific section on other pages in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the section that you want to link to on the destination page. Give this section a unique ID by selecting it and going to the "Settings" tab on the right-hand panel. Under the "Element Settings" section, you will find the "ID" field. Enter a relevant and descriptive ID for the section.

  2. Go to the page where you want to add the link. Select the text or element that you want to turn into a link.

  3. In the link settings, choose the "Page" option under the "Link Settings" section.

  4. In the dropdown menu, select the destination page to which you want to link.

  5. In the "Section" field, enter the ID of the section on the destination page that you want to link to. Make sure to include a '#' symbol before the ID. For example, if the ID of the destination section is "contact", you would enter "#contact" in the "Section" field.

  6. Customize the link settings, such as the link text, link style, or open link in a new tab if needed.

  7. Preview your site or publish it to see the link in action.

By following these steps, you can easily create a link to a specific section on other pages in Webflow. This not only provides a smooth user experience but also improves the overall navigation of your website.

Additional Tips:

  • Ensure that the section ID is unique and does not conflict with other IDs on the destination page.
  • Make sure that the destination page has a scrollbar if the linked section is not immediately visible on the page load. This ensures that users can smoothly navigate to the targeted section.
  • Test the link to ensure that it accurately directs users to the desired section.
