URL - This field is used to link the text and image to a page within the Strathclyde website. To do this, click on Select. Then using the site structure navigate to the page you want to link to and click on it.
URL-alt - This field is used to link the text and image to an external website, for example, https://www.bbc.co.uk. Don't use this field to link to pages with the Strathclyde website. To add a link just enter the full URL of the page you want to link to including https://.
