With Website Builder, you can add anchors to your Web pages.

You can use an anchor to link to a specific area on a page. You insert the anchor in the area you want to link to, and then you can add a hyperlink to that anchor. When visitors click the hyperlink, they are taken to the area on the page where you inserted your anchor.
