## How to Create an HTML Button That Acts Like a Link
Sometimes you may want to use a button to link to another page or website rather than to submit a form or something like that. This is fairly simple to do and can be achieved in several ways.
One way is to simply wrap your `<button>` tag in an `<a>` tag:
```html
<ahref='https://www.freecodecamp.org/'><button>Link To freeCodeCamp</button></a>
```
This transforms your entire button into a link.
A second option is to create your link as you normally would with your `<a>` tag and then style it via CSS:
```html
<ahref='https://www.freecodecamp.org/'>Link To freeCodeCamp</a>
Once you've created your link, you can then use CSS to make it look like a button. For instance, you could add a border, a background color, some styles for when the user is hovering the link...
