How to Add Smooth Scrolling Anchor Links to Your Website
A small improvement to make your site visitors’ experience just a bit smoother.
May 21, 2024
An “anchor” link is a link that takes readers to a specific spot on the same page (rather than taking them to a new page altogether). It’s like a shortcut. In most cases, clicking that link brings readers to the desired place with an abrupt jump. In today’s Build and Beyond video, Jamie Marsland shows you how to make that transition a smooth scroll instead of a jump, making for a more pleasant reading and browsing experience.
