Hey stewartbee,

It's actually pretty easy. You just navigate to the website and click on the site icon (next to the url). Just drag the site icon to your desktop and it'll create a link for you. It might be easier to see it done, so you should take a look at the article Create a desktop shortcut to a website.

Hopefully this helps!
