Details
The process of creating a link to an external website is similar to creating a link to one of your own pages. The difference is that links to external websites should use absolute URLs (meaning they should include the http:// or https:// protocols with the URL and the domain name).
Demo
Note: the external link will not work in the CodePen below, but it will work in your own index.html
file.
