How to create and edit your menus?

Overview of your menus

In your BookingSync website, you can use 2 type of menus, a header (called main menu) and a footer menu.

The header/main menu is located on the top right of your page.

The footer menu is located on the right part of the footer.

Create your menu

Please navigate to your Website Builder app > Navigation. Where you can see the following view: 

• click on New menu.

  

• Name your menu: main for the header menu, footer for the footer menu or any other name for a sub-menu.
  Click on Create Menu. Note that this name can be changed at any time.

  

• Fill in the menu items one by one:
  • The link name (mandatory). It's the name that will appear in the menu. If you have a multi-language website, don't forget to add a name for every language.
  • What it links to (mandatory). You can choose the link amongst the following options:
    • Homepage: links to the homepage of your website, can be useful for mobile navigation.
    • Page: links to one of the pages created in the Page section.
    • Rental: links to one of your rentals page.
    • Category: links to one of the categories created in the Categories section.
    • Destination: links to one of the destinations listed in the Destinations section. For a better user experience, make sure to add a photo and content for this destination.
    • Search page: links to the rental search page.
    • URL: links to any URL. It can be useful to include a direct link to an external blog or a link to the owner access page (if you use our Owner app).
    • NoLink: links to nothing. You can use this option if you have a sub-menu.
    • Contact: links to the contact page.
  • The linked sub-menu, if any.

• Then, click on Update menu

Submenus

On your BookingSync website, you can create submenus in your main menu.

Create and edit URL Redirects

It is very important for your client and the search engine to avoid broken link on your website.

If you change something on your website, for example the link to your rental (during the creation of your BookingSync website), or if you replace a static page with a category, don't forget to create a redirect to avoid a broken link. 

If you migrate your website on a BookingSync website (with a URL redirect), you must use these redirections to match the URL of the old page to the URL of the new page.

• Click on URL Redirects

  

• Click on New redirect
• Enter The old path (mandatory): URL of the old website or old page
• Enter The path it redirects to (mandatory): URL of the new page
  
• Click on Create Redirect
