How to Create Anchor URLs in Wix Studio – Step-by-Step Guide
If you’ve ever wanted to send someone a direct link that takes them straight to a specific section of your website, anchor URLs are the perfect solution. Whether you’re building with Wix or Wix Studio, this trick is a game-changer for improving user experience and making your site more shareable.
In today’s tutorial from Wix Ideas—your go-to resource for mastering Wix and Wix Studio—we’re going to show you exactly how to create and call URLs in Wix Studio so you can link to specific sections, forms, or even images on your site.
What is an Anchor URL and Why Use It?
An anchor URL is a link that includes a section ID, so when someone clicks it, they’re taken directly to that section of your page—no scrolling required. For example:
https://yoursite.com/page#sectionID
This is perfect for:
Linking to donation forms
Sending customers straight to a pricing table
Highlighting special offers or promotions
Improving navigation for long pages
With Wix Ideas, we’ll show you how to go beyond Wix’s default anchor feature and create shareable, scroll-to links that work anywhere on the internet.
Step-by-Step: Creating Anchor URLs in Wix Studio
1. Identify the Section You Want to Link To
Scroll to the section in your Wix Studio editor. In our example, we used a donation form, but this can be any section or element—even an image.
2. Give the Section an ID
Open the Inspector Panel and find the section’s ID. If you want, rename it to something memorable (e.g., donationForm or specialOffer).
3. Add the Velo Code
To make anchor URLs work, you’ll add a short Velo by Wix script to your site’s masterPage.js file. This code reads your URL, detects the section ID after the hash (#), and scrolls the page directly to it.
Here’s what it does:
Reads the current URL
Checks for a section ID
Automatically scrolls to that section when the page loads
4. Publish and Test
Once your site is published, simply add #sectionID to your page URL and share it. For example:
https://mysite.com/page#donationForm
When visitors open this link, they’ll land exactly where you want them.
Why This Works So Well in Wix Studio
While Wix offers built-in anchors, this Velo-powered method from Wix Ideas gives you more flexibility—making your links usable outside your site too. It’s perfect for marketing emails, social media posts, or any campaign where you want to send people to a specific spot without them having to scroll.

Love the tutorial!!!
You are truly great at creating these instructional videos!! Thank you! I am having trouble figuring out . . 'the triggered email' . . it is not being sent to the user submitting the form, the form and the email to the admin works great. . Could you point me to where this might have already been addressed? or any other help? On a second note. .the submit button success/failure message will go back to the default message once it's connected to the data set(I couldn't figure that out either. )

Great Tutorial
Hi !
First of all, I want to thank you for your great tutorials, they helped us a lot with the coding.
But I still need your help, if you don't mind. I have based on Save Calculated Field using Wix Data Hooks Codes, to code my form . but the problem is I don't know why the code only reads the computation for "week2" computation and not the "weeks"
here is the code
I also did a separate column in the dataset where the chosen datas for both fields will be placed.
$w.onReady (() => {
$w("#Person").onChange(() => {
$w("#weeks").onChange(() => {
$w("#week2").onChange(() => {
let person = Number($w("#Person").value);
let weeks = Number($w("#weeks").value);
let week2 = Number($w("#week2").value);
$w("#totalLabel").show();
$w("#totalLabel").text = `"${String(weeks * Number(person))}페소"`; //DESIGN YOUR MESSAGE
$w("#totalLabel").text = `"${String(week2 * Number(person))}페소"`; //DESIGN YOUR MESSAGE
});
});
});
});

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I see why this is a problem. The onChange() function seems wrong in combination.
To combine onChangeFunctions use this method
$w("#Person, #weeks, #weeks2").onChange(() => {
//code here
});
