My HTML link is not redirecting to another website (cpanel hosting)

I have a personal website and I am trying to have an image and upon clicking, redirect to another website. My own website is for instance www.example.com, and I want to (upon clicking image) go to www.website.com. However, it goes to www.example.com/www.website.com and I do not want that. The code looks alright:

 <a href="www.website.com">
   <br><img src="website.png" alt="Avatar" class="webimage">
 </a>

Any ideas?

    This should work. You have to use http:// or https:// in front of the link. Otherwise it will redirect you to a local path.

     <a href="http://www.website.com">
   <br><img src="website.png" alt="Avatar" class="webimage">
 </a>

    Relative URL paths are any without a protocol, delimited by //. It could begin http://, https://, or even simply // (though the delimiter without a stated protocol can apparently be used as an attack vector and so should be avoided.

    Relative URLs with ./ or no slash are appended to the current directory. Those with ../ go up one to the parent directory. And those with a single slash (/) go to the site root.

    Since you’re already at site root, that is your current directory, so the address is appended there.
