Instant communication is now a standard expectation for online visitors. One of the simplest ways to enable direct contact is by adding a WhatsApp chat button to your website or Blogspot (Blogger) blog. This allows visitors to start a WhatsApp conversation with a single click.
Step 1: Understand WhatsApp Click-to-Chat
WhatsApp offers an official Click-to-Chat feature that works through a simple URL format:
https://wa.me/your phone number
This link opens WhatsApp and starts a chat with the specified number, without requiring the visitor to save the contact.
Step 2: Create the HTML WhatsApp Button
Use the following HTML code to create a WhatsApp chat button. You can replace the number with your own WhatsApp number when needed.
<a href="https://wa.me/your phone number" target="_blank"
style="display:inline-block;
padding:12px 18px;
background:#25D366;
color:#ffffff;
font-size:16px;
font-weight:600;
text-decoration:none;
border-radius:6px;
font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">
Chat on WhatsApp
</a>
This button is lightweight, responsive, and works on both desktop and mobile devices.
Step 3: Add the Button to a Blogspot (Blogger) Blog
- Open your Blogger Dashboard
- Select your blog
- Go to Layout
- Click Add a Gadget
- Choose HTML/JavaScript
- Paste the button code
- Save the changes
The WhatsApp button will now appear on your blog.
Step 4: Add the Button to Any Website
For standard websites, paste the same HTML code into your webpage where you want the button to appear—such as the header, sidebar, footer, or contact section.
No plugins or third-party tools are required.
Best Practices
- Place the button where it is easily visible
- Use clear text like “Chat on WhatsApp”
- Ensure the WhatsApp number is active
- Test the button on desktop and mobile
Final Word
Adding a WhatsApp chat button using simple HTML is a quick and effective way to improve communication on any website or Blogspot blog. With minimal setup, visitors can reach you instantly, helping build trust, engagement, and stronger connections.
