Navigation Blocks are a useful way to organize your guest’s experience while viewing your page. This guide covers best practices, how to get started, and details the building process from start to finish.
Quick Overview
You can use Navigation Blocks to add external links, links to specific sections on your page, links to other Splash pages, and more. In this guide you will learn how to build a Navigation Block from scratch.Â
Before we dive into the fun stuff, let's quickly go the structural elements that make up every Splash page. The following chart identifies each element and briefly explains its purpose.Â
