You can add an external link to your Sitee with a Link Widget or a Custom Button. A Link Widget works best for most links you want to include as part of your page. A Custom Button is better when you want to highlight one specific action.

Link Widget

Add a website, portfolio, article, store, form, booking page, or another external page as a widget.

Custom Button

Create a button with your own label that opens a URL when a visitor selects it.
  1. Open your YourSitee editor.
  2. Add a new Link widget.
  3. Enter the title visitors will see.
  4. Paste the full link into the URL field.
  5. Choose between Default, Thumbnail, or Button appearance.
  6. Select Save.

Sharing sensitive content? Make sure to enable the NSFW content label before saving the widget, so visitors will see a warning before opening the link. Read our NSFW Policies for more information.
  1. Open your Profile Widget.
  2. Go to Connections and add a Custom Button.
  3. Enter the text you want visitors to see.
  4. Choose Open URL and paste the external link.
  5. Save your changes.
Free users can add up to one Custom Button to their Sitee.

When to use another option

If you want to link to your profile on a supported platform, use a social media connection. If you want to feature a specific post, video, track, or other supported content, use the relevant social media widget instead. For example, you can add a YouTube video or Instagram post directly to your Sitee.
Not sure which option to use? Choose a Link Widget for most external pages and a Custom Button for the action you want to highlight most. You can also ask for feedback in our #share-yoursitee channel our Discord server!
