How can I create a link button in Webflow that takes the user directly to a specific section on the homepage instead of just the top of the page?

TL;DR
  • Assign a unique ID to the target section in the Element Settings panel.
  • Link the button to that section using Webflow’s Section dropdown or manually via /#your-id.
  • Test the link to ensure it scrolls correctly; for buttons on other pages, use /#your-id to navigate to the homepage and scroll to the section.

To link a button in Webflow to a specific section on the homepage, you’ll need to use anchor links that target section IDs.

1. Assign an ID to the Target Section

  • Select the section (or element) you want to scroll to on the homepage.
  • In the Element Settings panel (D), find the ID field.
  • Enter a unique ID (e.g., features, about-section, etc.) — no spaces.
  • Select your button or link element.
  • In the Element Settings panel, under the Link Settings, choose:
  • Page: Select your homepage.
  • Section: Choose from the dropdown which will show available IDs on that page.
  • If linking manually, in the URL field, enter /#your-id (e.g., /#features).
  • Preview the site in the Webflow Designer or publish it.
  • Click the button to confirm it scrolls to the correct section on the homepage.

4. For Buttons on Other Pages

  • If the button is on a different page but should link to a section on the homepage:
  • Set the link URL to / followed by #your-id, like / #features (no space).
  • This ensures the user lands on the homepage and scrolls to the designated section.

Summary

To jump a user to a specific part of the homepage, assign an ID to that section and link your button with a /#id value. Use Webflow's native link settings for internal navigation and ensure the ID is unique and correctly targeted.
