To get your visitors to email you from your site in the "click of a button". Set your button (or text hyperlink) to "Email" and easily allow one-click emailing. Here's how:


There are 2 ways to do this:


1) BUTTON LINK - Click on the button you would like linked to an email address and click on the "EDIT" button from the button's mini-menu, enter the name of your button and then click on "Open On Click" to get to the "SELECT A LINK" window. 


2) HYPERLINK / TEXT LINK - Highlight over text you would like linked to an email address and in the black mini menu, click on the paperclip icon to get to the "SELECT A LINK" window. 


From the "SELECT A LINK" window - choose "Email" on the left hand side. Enter your Email Address in the "Email" field. In the "Caption" area, enter the email address again, or any text that you would like Google to be able to see as the "alt text" for that button. (ie: Email, "Email Us" etc.)


PLEASE NOTE: This is dependant on the settings of the device the visitor is clicking from. Mobile and tablet devices are set to to open their email instantly on the link click. Some desktop devices / brands based on their settings do not click through automatically to the visitors email to create an email to this link..
