Buttons are an integral part of an interface. They are used to help users interact with the interface by giving input commands. They are used to navigate through a website, submit information on a website, redirect to another web page, interact with the website features, etc. Making these buttons creative and attractive enhances users’ experience with the interface. In this article, we will learn how to create visually appealing buttons.
Importance of Button Design
Buttons provide a straight CTA (Call To Action) for the interface. For users to interact with the interface, buttons are a necessity. If there are no buttons on a website user won’t be able to navigate through the website or access the features. Buttons should be designed in a way that they are visually appealing, distinctive, and easy to understand. They should influence users to click on them. The contrast with the background should be set in a way that buttons become easily identifiable and should be placed in a logical way that they match the content.
How to Create Visual Buttons?
- Create a container div first which will contain all the buttons.
- Create buttons inside the container using button tag.
- Add text or icon images on the button.
- Give buttons class or id.
- Give them effects like animation or different colors however the need is.
Examples
Example 1: Creating buttons that change colors after clicking them.
