Button to create new site

Question

Looking to see how I could create a button on a SharePoint page that would create a new site. I know this can be done through Site Actions and a couple more clicks, but I want to make it intuitive for the user to just click a button and essentially do the same thing as it would navigating through Site Actions...

You should try to do the following

• Edit your page that you need to add the link button .
• Add content Editor.
• From the above ribbon click on Edit Source.
• Add the following code to create a link to open in the model dialog to create a new website.(or add your final link that navigating through Site Actions)

<script>
    function openDialog(pageUrl) { 
    var options = {
        url: pageUrl,
        title: 'Create New Site',
        allowMaximize: false,
        showClose: true,
        width: 700,
        height: 500
    };
    SP.SOD.execute('sp.ui.dialog.js', 'SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog', options);       
    }
      
    </script>

 <a onclick="openDialog("http://yourrootsite/_layouts/15/newsbweb.aspx");"
 href="#">Create New Site</a>
