The “Files” area offers you the option of adding files to your website that your customers are then able to download. For example, perhaps you would like your customers to be able to download your craft patterns, or maybe you have a program to explain more about the products you offer that your customers can download.

When a file has been uploaded to the FIles area of your website, you will then be able to link to it on your content pages using the link builder tool.
