Hi, I'm HELEN

A well placed button can draw the eyes of your ideal dog guardians right away when they land on your website. In my opinion, on your dog training website, you need a header navigation button that leads to booking a call with you for example, or the next step towards booking your dog training services.

Adding a navigation button to your website header: Squarespace tutorial using Fluid Engine 

This tutorial shows you how to add a navigation button to a section of your Squarespace website. 

(For Easy Peasy Funnels AKA Go High Level Tutorial for adding buttons click here) 

If you wanted to know how to add a button to any website page and style it on Squarespace header, click below for this tutorial. 

How to add a button on Squarespace

Step 1 – Click on the edit function 

Go to the website you are working on and click the edit button. 

Click the edit button on Squarespace

Step 2 – Choose edit site header button

Click the choose edit site header button as shown – this will edit your main navigation menu across your website, so it doesn’t matter which page it is on, it will be structured the same. 

Choose edit site header button on Squarespace

Step 3 – Click on add elements button

The navigation will have a blue line around it which means it is open to edit. 

Click on add elements button

This will reveal a toggle menu which allows you to turn things on that you would like to see in the main menu navigation. 

A toggle menu will appear on the page

Toggle on the button and it will appear – the style is according to what the theme is or whatever design work you have already done. 

Add a link and change the text of your Squarespace button

Step 4 – Edit the text of your Squarespace navigation button and add a link 

Edit the call to action and add a link to your Squarespace header button

Click on the button, and then on the pencil icon to bring up the settings for the individual button. Here you can edit the text (or call to action) – you want to make it specific and easy to understand so people know what to do. 

Maybe you want them to book a free discovery call, or browse your services. Change the text section to suite and add the link you want to send them to, in the ‘attach link’ section.

Examples could be: Book a free call

                                Schedule a call 

                                Contact me 

Step 5 – Check for unneeded links in your navigation and edit 

Drag any unneeded links down to the not linked section on Squarespace

I found an unnecessary link because I had schedule a call and then added a button to do the same. 

What did you do to edit this? 

Save everything you have done first and exit out of the editor. 

To remove the unneeded link, go back to the main screen and on the left side it will show you pages linked in the navigation. Drag the link down to the not linked section and your navigation menu will adjust. 

Not sure how to style your buttons?
