Problem adding links to buttons

Hi, my website is http://www.iscsoftware.com. I’d like to replace the buttons (currently light blue jpeg images that say “go to web page”) on the homepage with the buttons generated by your theme. Unfortunately, I used beaver builder light as my drag and drop page builder, and this is one of the areas where it seems to conflict with your theme.

I can add the following shortcode and get exactly the button effect that I want.

<p style=”text-align: center;”>[btn text=”Learn More” tcolor=”#fffffff” bcolor=”#1c5179″ thovercolor=”#fffffff” bhovercolor=”#223649″ size=”small” font=”h1-family”]</p>

But the problem occurs when I try to add the html to link to the page to which the button should send visitors. I have tried using the “insert/edit link” command in the visual editor, and it doesn’t link to the page. I have tried to manually add the link in the text editor, and it doesn’t work, either.
Example:
<p style=”text-align: center;”>[btn text=”Learn More” tcolor=”#fffffff” bcolor=”#1c5179″ thovercolor=”#fffffff” bhovercolor=”#223649″ size=”small” font=”h1-family”]</p>

Am I doing something that’s obviously wrong?

Or is there another way I could do this, perhaps through html and css? If so, can you give me the html and css to properly style the buttons?

Thank you,

Laura
