To add a menu or make changes to your existing navigation, you will need to access the Bluehost Website Builder.

How-to Add a Menu

Bluehost Website Builder will automatically create a site menu based on the pages that have been added, so you won't need to add a menu - that has already been done for you. You can add, delete, edit, and reorder menu items by accessing your menu settings.

How-to Access Menu Settings

Select Menus & pages from the menu on the left. A list of your current pages will appear in the Primary menu.

From here, you can add, edit, reorder and delete menu items. You can also set how you would like page titles and descriptions to show up in search engine results. Read on for more details.

How-to Add a Page to the Menu

1. Select Menus & pages from the menu on the left. A list of your current pages will appear in the Primary menu.
2. Select New Page, and you’ll see options for adding a Page or an External link. Here is an example walkthrough below:
   
3. Select either Blank (this adds a new page to the menu and your site), External link (this adds a menu item that links to a website outside of the site you’re working on), or Page Templates.
   
   • For a Blank page, add your page name, and the Page URL will autofill based on the page name. You can change the URL by toggling the button labeled “URL" to match the page name.
   • For an External Link, add the name you want to be displayed on the menu and enter the URL where you want to send visitors.
   • For Page templates, this will allow you to select the most commonly used pages for a website, such as Business Hours, Cover image, FAQ, Menu, Reviews, etc.
4. Click the Add page button when you finish, and your new page or link will appear in the menu.

How-to Edit Menu Items

2. Choose the page or link you want to edit and select the ⋮ icon.
