How to Add Links and Navigation to a Canva Website

Links let guests move between website pages or open an outside destination such as a registry, map, accommodation page, or RSVP service.

Add a link to text or an element

  1. Select the text, button, image, or other element.
  2. Choose Link from the toolbar or additional options menu.
  3. Select a page in the design or paste the full external URL.
  4. Apply the link, then test it in Preview.

Link to another page in the same website

Use a page link for buttons such as Details, RSVP, Travel, or Back. If you delete and replace the linked element, add the link again.

Link to an outside website

  • Use the complete destination URL, including https://.
  • Open the destination yourself before publishing.
  • Use descriptive button text such as View the venue map instead of Click here.

Set up navigation

  • Give each page a short, clear public title.
  • Review the website with navigation turned on and off.
  • If you keep navigation visible, verify that page names appear in the intended order and make sense to guests.

Final link test

  1. Preview the design and click every linked element.
  2. Publish the site.
  3. Open the live URL in a private browser window.
  4. Test all links again on both phone and desktop.

If a link stops working after an edit, select the replacement element and reapply the destination.
