If your mobile site is (generally) used by iOS devices, you can use :
<a href="skype:YourSkypeName?call">Call me on Skype</a>
Apple iOS devices automatically recognizes intents in link with Skype and FaceTime.
Open chat screen Skype from other app
You can use the Skype URI Scheme for this (Skype:echo123?chat).
You can find out more information about the URI Scheme here : https://dev.skype.com/skype-uri

Skype for business URI instead of Skype
Found a solution for this after a lot of research.
Best alternative to work with Skype for Business:
sip:<xyz@domain.com>
This would open the chat window for the user and the user can do whatever they want from there.
