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.
