• How do I link text in your Website Builder?

  We've made it easy to link text within our Website Builder! To add a link to your text, please follow these steps: Sign in to your Dynadot account. Select "My Websites" from the left-side menu bar. Click on the "Edit Site" button next to the website builder you want to use. Go to the page with the text box where you want to add the link and click in the box, so your cursor is blinking. (Learn how to add a new text box if need to add a new one.) You should see a text options box pop up at the top of the text box. You can either highlight the text you want to link and then click on the link icon (4th button from the left) or simply click on the link icon and it will add the link you enter to the text box as your text. A link settings box will appear. Select the type of link you want to add: URL, Link to anchor in the text (anchors can only be added using our code editor), or E-mail. Then, select the link protocol. Most websites use either http:// or https://. Enter the link in the URL box (you should only include everything after the http:// or https:// as that is provided in the protocol section, for example, www.dynadot.com). You can also set how the new link will show for the user in the "Target" section. Click "OK" to set your link and its settings. You should see your link appear in the color you selected within your text box. Click "Save" at the top of the page to save your changes.

• How do I to set the same background color or image for an entire page on my Website Builder?

  Depending on which template you are on and your settings, you may not be able to see very much of your new background color or image. This is because each section has its own background color or image. If you want to set the same background color or image for an entire page, please follow these steps: Sign in to your Dynadot account. Select "My Websites" from the left-side menu bar. Click on the "Edit Site" button next to the website builder you want to use. Click on the "Website Builder" option, followed by the "Editor" option on the left-hand tool bar. At the top of the editor menu, you will see "Background" under the header "Site". Click on "Background Image" to change your background image, or click on the circle icon alongside the "Background" option to select a color for your background. If you have any other background colors or images selected for other sections of your website, you will only be able to see part of the page background. You can remove these other backgrounds by clicking on "Background" in each section of the style editor and then clicking the "Trash" icon. This will remove the background color or image and make it transparent, so you can see the main background you set. Click "Save" at the top to save your changes. We recommend using an image that is between 1200-1500 pixels for the entire page background. If you are having trouble uploading your background image, this could be why your image will not upload.If you do not want any background for your website, learn how to remove a background or choose no background at all.
