Making links and using effective link text is an essential part of editing web pages for your department.

The process is extremely similar to hyperlinking items, like we do every day in documents and in emails.

Using good link text not only makes your page more accessible to all users, but also tells a user exactly where they will land if they choose to click.

Which Link to Choose

Links can go to external pages (not augusta.edu), internal pages (augusta.edu), documents (PDFs). They can also generate an email to a specific email address of your choice (mailto).

External

Choose an external link to any site other than the one you're currently editing in OU Campus. (e.g. Box links, AU Health, Google)

Internal

Choose an internal link for linking to a page on the current site you're editing. (e.g. Augusta University Training Page 5, AU Student Life, AU Human Resources)

Mailto

Choose a Mailto link if you want a user to contact your department via email

Document [PDF]

Save all documents for the website as a PDF. If you are not using Box to store them, upload first to your documents folder, then link to it from there.

Menu

Links on the Navigation file are easily moved around and updated. Add a # into the URL field to make the first link in a drop-down.

Anchor Links

Anchors links take a user to a pre-designated spot (anchor) on a page.
