How do I insert a link in the footer of my website? (e.g. for the accessibility statement)

If you want to link to an accessibility statement, you can simply place it in the footer of the website.


An Accessibility Statement is the public declaration by the church on the extent to which the website complies with applicable laws and regulations regarding internet accessibility.


We recommend publishing the accessibility statement as a separate page on your website and linking it prominently in the footer of all pages.


Creating a Subpage and Hiding it from Navigation


Ideally, you should first copy an existing subpage to retain its design and page layout.


First, adjust the name of the subpage and hide the page from navigation (so visitors can only reach the subpage via the subsequently inserted link):



Also remove the indexing (so the subpage is not found via the search engine):


Then remove all content from the page and insert a text module in which you insert the accessibility statement.



Linking the Accessibility Statement


There are several ways to place a link in the footer, but the easiest and fastest way is to duplicate the existing footer by hovering your mouse over the row, clicking directly on the small blue "Row" box, and then selecting "Duplicate":



You can recognise the footer in which you are working by the purple colour that surrounds the entire footer. It also says ‘FOOTER - All pages’.


Now you have a duplicated row below, which is identical to the other. If applicable, you should now delete any unnecessary modules, but keep a text module, as it will be used for linking. To delete the modules, click on them and select the small red trash can icon.


Double-click the text block to edit it. You can now change the text to "Accessibility Statement".

Next, make sure the text is highlighted, and select the link icon at the top of the text editor bar. Then choose Link:



Now you can link your previously created page. For Link destination, select "Internal Page" and for Internal Page, select "Accessibility Statement":



Confirm with the green tick and then click on the green button with the tick:



Before publishing, we recommend that you click on ‘Preview’ so that you can check that the link is working correctly:

If you are satisfied with the result, you can finalise with ‘Publish’:
