Design a Landing Page --> How do you make the buttons work?

Hello my good friends!
I've been direct linking for quite some time but now want to get into landing pages.
Just a question. Say you create a nice landing page on Photoshop (or whatever you are using). Your landing page will have a call to action button (and other areas where someone can click). How do you take your landing page and convert it to code that is able to be used online and how do you make it so that when the call to action button is clicked the person is directed to the offer?

Is this what Adobe Muse allows one to do? You can import yout Photoshop file and then add the ability to make buttons work etc.?

If someone can post a thread outlining this that would be nice; I looked in the tutorial section and could not find.
Also if my question is difficult to understand please let me know and I will use a better example.

Thank you

I think you may have the wrong idea here.

Photoshop is an image editing program. It has very little role in web page coding/creation outside of creating mockups for designers.

Adobe Muse is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editor that lets you create a layout of elements, edit page properties, and then export that as HTML/CSS/JS.

You don't really import Photoshop files into things to turn them into web pages, you generally create the pages from scratch.

HTML, CSS, and the very basic knowledge about web pages is not really covered here since it's outside the scope of this forum -- much like how a stock exchange forum wouldn't likely have tutorials on the basic math for Currency Y multiplied by exchange rate = value in currency X.

I would suggest hitting up somewhere like Code Academy and doing a course on HTML and CSS -- you really should know the basics of how web page code is structured.

There are a few tutorials here than might be helpful after that - I did one on making landers in Muse and Caurmen did one on making a mobile lander:
