Interestingly, they are called ligations on the submitted website

"ligation" is the verb-form (i.e. making something with/into ligatures).

I'm not sure however that the verb form makes all that much sense in the context the website uses it...

  • English is great at exceptions, but I'm nearly sure anything ending in -ation is a noun. Ligation certainly is.

    Ligation is (among other things) the act of applying a ligature. So it does make sense.
