You will need to use Twitter Web Intents

The easiest way to do this is to write a link like https://twitter.com/intent/follow?screen_name=edent

If you click on that, you'll be prompted to follow me. Just change edent to the name of the Twitter account you want people to follow.

You can generate an HTML snippet to add a Follow button to a website via Twitter Publish.
