Having an uninterrupted scrolling experience is one of the advantages of a well-designed one page website, and we’ll show you how to maintain that and add new content.

- Edit your page
- Highlight heading text of section
- Click to add link
- Insert URL with hashmark, for example:
#testimonials
Now, we just need to add a menu link that points to this anchor.
- Click Customize
- Choose Menus
- Add custom link
- Add your link (using the example above,
#testimonials
Use Different Backgrounds
Using a different background color or image will help make your sections stand out.
