Buttons are very important for any type of websites like static website, dynamic website, eCommerce website or any kind of website. Buttons are designed to make someone take action.
If you have filled any online registration or signup form you have absolutely seen some button at the end of the form like submit or signup button.
What is CTA buttons
CTA(call to action) buttons are very much similar to normal buttons, actually call to action buttons are mostly use in landing pages like these similar examples.
In this example images you can see CTA buttons on every landing page which encourage you to perform certain examples like โgenerate free invoiceโ, โLetโs Chatโ, Book a demoโ, etc, etc.
Call to action buttons are mainly used to perform some specific tasks like โbook nowโ โRegister Nowโ โBook Your Seatโ โClick to get the free ebookโ etc etc.
So letโs learn how to make CTA buttons with pure HTML and CSS no single line of javascript.
First of all open your favorite code editor to write HTML, CSS code and write this HTML boilerplate code.
After the HTML boilerplate code writes your page title, import an external CSS file and one more thing import Box Icon CDN link which will gives us SVG icons.
Button HTML code
Thatโs it for the HTML part letโs start our CSS code.
An HTML web page or document always takes default margin and padding, So first of all we will set the 0 zero to margin and padding of HTML body.
โbox-sizing: border-box;โ is used because sometimes when child element or div is bigger than parent div it overflow the size of parent div. Thatโs why border-box prevent child element to overflow from parent div.

Now we will beautify our HTML body to show our CTA button at the center of the web page. We have used CSS flexbox, the height will be 100vh, the width is 100% and the background colour is white grey.
So we have designed a body of the web page now we will work on our CTA button element.
All this code is easy to understand but donโt worry if you are stuck anywhere at any point of this code snippet you can simply comment your queries I will definitely solve it.
After that, we will add some hover effect on our call to action button.
We have just disabled the button box-shadow and the cursor will be a pointer on hover.
And one more thing letโs add some font size in the button icon and padding from the right side because it is looking close to the text.
So thatโs how you can design and develop a CTA(call to action) button with just pure HTML and CSS. And this is the exact CTA button with source CodePen Source code.

Hi Atul,
I was just reading your guide and I'm stuck here! Could you teach me how to align my CTA to the center of my page under my "Back to blog" button?
Thanks,
Carlson
I don't know if my images are showing up...
I am using this code to set every element in center
body
{
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background-color: #F3F3F4;
}

Pretty nice, but I wouldn't recommend using
px
units. If you useem
instead, margins will scale along if you just change the font-size of the button, which is often what you'll want :Doh ok thanks for sharing your experiences :) I'll keep in mind. Thank you
