Quicklinks: Adding and Removing
Keep your homepage Quicklinks fresh with clear, accessible teasers.
Last updated: August 2025
The Quicklinks zone on your Streamline homepage helps visitors jump to your most important pages fast. Each Quicklink is a teaser that shows an icon and the page title (no summary). Choosing concise, descriptive titles improves accessibility and wayfinding.
Note: Quicklinks exist in both Streamline and Amplify platforms—but handled differently.
This article covers Streamline Quicklinks only.
For Amplify, see the “How do I customize my new Amplify homepage?” guide, under the Quicklinks section.
Add a New Quicklink
-
Go to your homepage and click Edit.
-
Open the Quicklinks dropdown/panel.
-
Click Add New and either:
-
Link an existing page, or
-
Create a new page directly from here.
-
-
Set the title (this becomes the visible link text).
-
Aim for 1–2 lines that are descriptive and accurate.
-
Avoid “Click here” or vague labels.
-
This title can be customized in the Edit Teaser section.
-
-
Choose an icon (optional but recommended):
-
In the image field, click Customize image → Select from stock photography.
-
Scroll to the bottom to browse available Streamline icons and choose one that fits the page’s purpose.
-

Remove a Quicklink
-
From your homepage, click Edit.
-
Open the Quicklinks dropdown/panel.
-
Click the pencil (edit) icon on the Quicklink you want to remove.
-
Click Remove this teaser.
-
Save your changes.
Accessibility & Content Best Practices
-
Use descriptive titles that make sense out of context (e.g., “Pay Your Water Bill” instead of “Click here”).
-
Avoid ALL CAPS; it reduces readability and may be read inconsistently by screen readers.
-
Don’t repeat the same Quicklink multiple times on the homepage.
-
Icons should be simple and recognizable — avoid icons with text inside them.
-
Always pair icons with a clear Quicklink title. Icons are visual aids, not replacements for link text.
