How to Create Engaging Buttons with CSS and HTML

Creating interesting buttons is what engages the user to use a website or application. If the app lacks interesting engaging points, the user engagement rate drops. In any online business model this is contrary to the effect we want to achieve. Moving forward from this, down below we’ll drop a tutorial on creating three alternative versions of an engaging button you may use on your site.

Creating the HTML Elements

<div class="container"> <h2>Developing Buttons</h2> <h1>It's all about design</h1> <p>Creating an engaging button is attractive to users. It increases the engagement and conversion rates of user actions like sales and account creations.</p> <a>Look at Me!</a></div> 

We use a div element with the class container to wrap around several elements. Without styling this will render like this below.

<div class="container"> <h2>Developing Buttons</h2> <h1>It's all about design</h1> <p>Creating an engaging button is attractive to users. It increases the engagement and conversion rates of user actions like sales and account creations.</p> <a>Look at Me!</a></div> 

Let’s Style!

html, body { font-family: Roboto,arial,sans-serif;}html { background: linear-gradient(380deg, #0a2540 0, #483580 100%); height: 100%;}.container { width: 400px; margin: 0 auto;}h2 { color: #00d4ff; margin-top: 80px;}h1 { color: #fff;}a { height: 40px; width: 200px; background: #00d4ff; display: block; line-height: 40px; text-align: center; border-radius: 20px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px;}p { color: #adbdcc}a:hover { }

Full Code

<div class="container"> <h2>Developing Buttons</h2> <h1>It's all about design</h1> <p>Creating an engaging button is attractive to users. It increases the engagement and conversion rates of user actions like sales and account creations.</p> <a>Look at Me!</a></div> 
html, body { font-family: Roboto,arial,sans-serif;}html { background: linear-gradient(380deg, #0a2540 0, #483580 100%); height: 100%;}.container { width: 400px; margin: 0 auto;}h2 { color: #00d4ff; margin-top: 80px;}h1 { color: #fff;}a { height: 40px; width: 200px; background: #00d4ff; display: block; line-height: 40px; text-align: center; border-radius: 20px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px;}p { color: #adbdcc}a:hover { }

Let’s create several more versions, it’s always important to have different spices throughout your web application. I found it helps to avoid having redundant design, I’ve witnessed increased traffic, clicks on call to action buttons, and signups just by having various different designs throughout.

html, body { font-family: Roboto,arial,sans-serif;}html { background: #000; height: 100%;}.container { width: 400px; margin: 0 auto;}h2 { color: #ffb000; margin-top: 80px;}h1 { color: #fff;}a { height: 40px; width: 200px; background: #ffb000; display: block; line-height: 40px; text-align: center; border-radius: 20px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px;}p { color: #adbdcc}a:hover { }
html, body { font-family: Roboto,arial,sans-serif;}html { background: #fff; height: 100%; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(2,0,36,1) 0%, rgba(32,63,90,1) 44%,rgba(17,148,175,1) 100%);}.container { width: 400px; margin: 0 auto;}h2 { color: #ffb000; margin-top: 80px;}h1 { color: #fff;}a { height: 40px; width: 200px; background: #ffb000; display: block; line-height: 40px; text-align: center; border-radius: 20px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 40px; box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgb(0 0 0 / 50%);}p { color: #adbdcc}a:hover { }

Summary

With just a little tweaking to the CSS, you’ll easily be able to capture the users attention.
