Customize Job Board Navigation & Footer

Configure your job board's header navigation, custom links, and footer content including social links.

AJ
By Abi Tyas Tunggal and Jack Walsh

Your job board's navigation and footer appear on every page, guiding visitors to jobs, company profiles, and key actions. This guide covers how to customize navigation labels, add custom links, configure footer content, and connect social profiles.

Accessing navigation settings

  1. Open the Website Builder
  2. Select any page to edit
  3. Click Navigation in the right panel

Navigation and footer settings apply globally across your entire job board.

Header navigation

The header appears at the top of every page and includes your logo, navigation links, and primary actions.

Default navigation items

Your job board includes these navigation items by default:

  • Jobs - Links to your jobs listing page
  • Companies - Links to your companies directory
  • Blog - Links to your blog (if enabled)
  • Post a Job - Call-to-action for employers

Customize navigation labels

Rename default navigation items to match your terminology:

  1. Find the navigation item you want to rename
  2. Enter a new label (e.g., "Opportunities" instead of "Jobs")
  3. Changes apply immediately in the preview

Add custom links

Add up to 5 custom links to your navigation:

  1. Click Add link
  2. Enter a Label (the text that appears in the nav)
  3. Enter a URL (internal path like /about or external URL like https://example.com)
  4. Click Add to save

Remove custom links

  1. Find the custom link you want to remove
  2. Click the delete icon next to it
  3. The link is removed immediately

Reorder navigation items

  1. Click and drag navigation items to reorder them
  2. Release to set the new position
  3. Preview the changes in the editor

The order you set here is the order items appear in your header navigation.

Footer configuration

The footer appears at the bottom of every page and can include your board description, contact information, and social links.

Footer description

Add a brief description or tagline for your job board:

  1. Find the Footer description field
  2. Enter your description (1-2 sentences recommended)
  3. This appears in the footer across all pages

Contact information

Display contact details for job seekers or employers:

  1. Enter your contact email in the Contact email field
  2. Optionally add a phone number or address
  3. Contact info appears in the footer

Social links

Connect your social media profiles:

  1. Find the Social links section
  2. Enter your profile URLs for any platforms you use:
    • Twitter/X
    • LinkedIn
    • Facebook
    • Instagram
    • GitHub
  3. Only platforms with URLs will display icons in the footer

Leave a field empty to hide that social platform from your footer.

Footer links

The footer automatically includes links to:

  • Privacy policy (if configured)
  • Terms of service (if configured)
  • Cookie policy (if configured)

Configure these legal pages in Board settings > Legal pages.

Mobile navigation

On smaller screens, navigation items collapse into a mobile menu. Test your navigation on mobile viewport to ensure:

  • All links are accessible
  • Labels fit without truncation
  • Touch targets are large enough

Best practices

Keep navigation focused

  • Limit to 5-7 navigation items maximum
  • Prioritize the most important pages
  • Use clear, descriptive labels

Choose descriptive labels

  • Use action-oriented labels when appropriate ("Find Jobs" vs "Jobs")
  • Keep labels short (1-2 words)
  • Ensure labels make sense out of context

Maintain consistency

  • Use the same terminology throughout your site
  • If you call them "Opportunities" in the nav, use that term elsewhere too
  • Keep your footer updated with current contact info

Related settings

  • Legal pages - Set up privacy policy, terms, and more

Frequently asked questions

Limit your navigation to 5-7 items maximum. Too many links overwhelm visitors and reduce click-through rates. Prioritize pages that drive conversions: job listings, company directory, and your primary call-to-action.

Yes. When adding custom links, enter the full URL (including https://) for external sites. External links open in a new tab by default, keeping visitors on your job board.

Social icons only appear when you enter a valid profile URL for that platform. Check that you've entered the complete URL (e.g., https://twitter.com/yourhandle) and saved your changes.
