Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for writing in! The following Markup should trigger the widgetbar to open up:

<a href="#" class="x-btn-widgetbar-alt collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".x-widgetbar">Contact Us</a>

And then the following can be placed in a <script> tag to prevent the pound sign from showing up in your URL bar:

$('.x-btn-widgetbar-alt').click(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
});

Thanks!

Is this something I can do in the visual editor or I need to get a programmer type person to make the change? Thx

It is best to have a WordPress Developer do theme customizations for you. 🙂

Is that possible?

That is not possible because you’ll need to put extra attributes to the link and that is not available in the Button shortcode. You can however watch this quick screencast (http://screencast.com/t/QqV3iWKPJu) on how to get the HTML code of the button and add the necessary attributes.

Hope that helps. 🙂
