Web Pages Site Menu
You site menu is an area across all pages of your website which shows links to direct visitors to different pages. You might know it as "navbar" or "footer" or "navigation area" or "header", and in Heights it is always located at the very top (menu) and very bottom (footer) of each page you create on your site.
The site menu cannot be created from the page editor, to create your menu, select "Web Pages" from the main vertical menu on the Creator Dashboard. Then click on the "Pages" tab and here you will see a list of all the pages you have created so far for your site.
On the right-hand side of the screen, you will see a button labeled "Edit Site Menu" followed by "Edit Site Footer".
The Site Menu is the top area of your website, which contains your logo and a few important links. The Site Footer is the very bottom area of your website, typically larger than the menu, and it can contain your logo, your business information, links to all areas of your site and to the terms & conditions and privacy policy pages.
On Heights, you can customize which links to add to the menu and the footer by clicking on "Edit Site Menu" or "Edit Site Footer".
Edit Site Menu
If you haven't created any pages on your site yet, by clicking on "Edit Site Menu" you will see the following:
- A Home Page Link: Leave it unchecked if you wish to only show your logo or program name as a homepage navigation link.
- Blog Link: this is where you can add an internal link to your Blog (if you are using Heights to create your blog) or an external link
- Log-in: you can choose to display this link or hide it from the menu by checking "Hide". This is where existing students can log into your program.
- Sign-up: you can choose to display this link or hide it from the menu by checking "Hide". This is where new students can enroll into your program.
To add more links to your top menu, click on + New Menu Item. This will generate an additional line where you can type the name of this link (as it will appear on the site) and what it should link to.
You can add the following links to your site menu:
- Site Page: this means linking to another existing page on your site. If you have already created another page and you want to link to it on your site menu, select this entry. You will then be able to select which page to link to from a dropdown.

You will then be able to select which course to link to from a dropdown. You can also decide to link to the preview page or the checkout page of the course.

The site footer works in the same way as the site menu. The only difference is that the footer can include your Terms & Privacy pages.
Terms, Privacy, and Imprint links will display automatically if you add content to them in the Terms & Checkout Pages area.
