Yes, you can create a button that redirects to another website within a CMS using Webflow. Webflow allows you to add custom code to your project, which gives you the flexibility to customize your website beyond the built-in features. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. First, open the Webflow Designer and navigate to the page where you want to add the button.

  2. Drag and drop a button element from the Elements Panel onto your canvas.

  3. In the Button Settings panel on the right-hand side, you can customize the button's appearance, text, and link.

  4. To redirect the button to another website, you'll need to add a custom attribute. Select the button, and then click on "Add custom attribute" in the Element Settings panel.

  5. In the attribute name field, enter href. In the attribute value field, enter the URL of the website you want to redirect to. Make sure to include the full URL, starting with https:// or http://.

  6. Publish your website for the changes to take effect.

When users click on the button, they will be redirected to the website specified in the href attribute. Note that if you're using a CMS collection, you can dynamically populate the href attribute value with a field value from your collection.

By following these steps, you can easily create a button that redirects to another website within a CMS using Webflow.
