Link files

Links allow users to click from page to page on your site as well as direct users to valuable related information.

With Site Builder, you can have the following types of links:

  • internal files (files that are created or uploaded to Site Builder)
    Examples: any .php files created in Site Builder or file types such as .doc, .pdf, .ppt, .mp3.
  • external files (email address, or URLs)
    Examples: webfeedback@mun.ca or http://www.mun.ca
