Answer 1

If you want to simply make a button link to another website/ page, here you go:

<button onclick="location.href='link_goes_here'" type="button">
 Button_Text_Here</button>

note the different quotation marks being used :)

edit:

<input type="button" onclick="location.href='link_goes_here'" value="button_text>

Answer 2

you can use something like an <a href="the_url_where_to_go">text</a> then you format it with css like

a {
    display:block;
    width: 100px;
    height: 30px;
    background-color: #ccc;
    border-radius: 5px;
}

otherwise you can use the button with javascript

 <button onclick="location.href='the_url_where_to_go'" type="button">
 Button_Text_Here</button>

or

 <input type="button" onclick="location.href='the_url_where_to_go'" value="text_of_the button">

Answer 3

Do this:

<button onclick="window.open('https://example.com')">Button</button>

Answer 4

You can either do

<input type="button" value="Anything" onclick="window.location='http://www.example.org'" />

or

<a href="http://www.example.org"><button>Anything</button></a>

Answer 5

You can just use the <a> tag with a button inside. very simple.

<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com"><button>Click this link</button></a>
