Does anyone know how to add a button that a user can just click on to be re-directed to another website, like google. I am supposed to design a web page for a non-profit because I'm in an engineering project at school, but I don't know much about Plone. Is there a plug-in that needs to be installed or do I have to mess with the css. The button is sort of a panic button, so that the user can quickly click it and go to another site before someone else can catch them on our site. It is simply a safety feature we are adding for a site that is supposed to help battered women, so please help me out.

Any link accessed by a button would move the viewer immediately to another site - even just clicking on the browser Home button but perhaps the Home button on a menu bar is not easily visible on a phone-based website with a small screen.

In which case put a small button at the top left corner of your web page with position: fixed (IE6 does not support position: fixed but at the top left corner it should behave like position: absolute) and link to whatever site you want. The button should always be visible except in IE6 which will scroll the button out of sight.

<div style="position: fixed; top:0; left:0;"><a href="google.com"><img src="button.jpg"></a></div>

You can google for free buttons, like these sites:-
