A better highlighted button will be easier to spot and prompt the user to take action. Therefore, in our text, we explain how to style a button using CSS<\/em> . <\/span><\/p>\n

You want to get your website visitors to download some content, subscribe to your mailing list, or add a product to their cart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three “best practices” for designing buttons<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Readability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Small buttons with small text are hard to read. It is generally best to use a large button with a large font and dark text color. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Color<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Use a background color that pops off your page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing a font color that contrasts with the color of the button is another way to add contrast.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shape<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A defined button shape can improve visibility and ease the user’s experience on the page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using CSS, you can easily create buttons with square or rounded edges, different edge thicknesses, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding too many buttons is not desirable. Too many buttons can confuse the user. <\/span><\/p>\n

In general, adding one main button per page is a good practice.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1612736347159{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” font_family=”Open Sans”]You don’t need to know much about CSS to change the size, shape, color or text of a button.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Save changes<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. You can use and add the same class more than once, ie. on more buttons <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”23790″ css_animation=”fadeIn” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1612737415446{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” img_hover=”fade-out”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1612862672717{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}” font_family=”Open Sans”]\n
