I doing a website for a financial planner because there old website was crap. The lady out of no where decides to buy a new domain and now has all her clients going to it. Thing is, there is no website! So I told her that I would just put a simple redirect link ( a href) so that they could at least go to her old website. For some reason, the a href tag insn't working. Since the lady doesn't know crap about websites she has the real basic "starter" web hosting so I deicde to do a simple webpage in sitestudio.


The link isn't letting anyone go to the other website and its driving me nuts! I know the code is correct!


Here is the Url: http://www.sagemoney.org

...where did you learn HTML?

You may want to try this instead by the way:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.sagefinancialsolutions.org" />

That will automatically redirect the user to the right page.

While we're at it, you could do a lot more with a name like Sage. Look at Mint for example.

If they let you make a logo for them do a nice sage leaf and make your site a richer green.

I learned in my technology class. The teacher was a bit of a spaz and thats why I joined the forums.

Be careful if using this technique - Search Engines will penalise you for it.

This re-direct method is not user-controlled, and it could be used to point you to ANY site at all without your knowledge ... thats why SEs don't like it.

I wouldn't recommend using it.
In fact I'd say "DON'T DO IT AT ALL !!"

Don't do it at all.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that whole copyright thing.

Also sorry about the meta refresh thing, I didn't realize it was no good. Frankly I haven't used it since 1998 but I figured it was still valid.
