making my own app...how do i load next activity?

I have a basic app I am trying to make that will serve as a portfolio. I have a column of buttons down the middle on my main activity, and I want them to click the button to load the data for the proper sections (copywriting, strategy, etc..)

I got the buttons all made and lined up in there looking pretty and I made a second activity called webActivity. I was going to make one for each section, web, print, copywriting, etc... but remembered I should just make one page template and then code the rest. I honestly just did this in the class but now it seems so much harder to try and do from scratch without his help!

My question is getting the button to load the next activity. my button is called webButton so do i do something like

webButton.setOnClickListener();

and honestly thats all i remember :(

To wire up an anonymous inner class to launch an activity all you have to do is this:

webButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(YourCurrentActivity.this, YourTargetActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
});
