Adding a hyperlink field in a form

I am trying to add a field for a website/hyperlink in a form. This is on a page that is used to add new users for an online availability calendar and would be added under an administrative login (I did not set up the calendars so I am backtracking to figure out how this was done initially). What I am attempting to accomplish is a field that will appear in the calendar's search results that will take users directly to the website that has openings.

Creating a URL form input field is no big deal with HTML5 forms. 

<form>
Add your homepage:
  <input type="url" name="homepage">
</form>

The question is if  your Calendar system can support the data from that field.    Is your Calendar using data from a database?  Which programming language is the calendar based on?   So far,  too many unknowns.
