❤️Create CSS Gradient Buttons With Beautiful Hover Effect

In this article , we will look at how we can easily create a beautiful ❤️ gradient buttons with cool hover effect with HTML and CSS. For this tutorial ,
you must have basic knowledge of HTML and CSS properties.

✨ Writing HTML

Our HTML code will be only few lines for the markup.The code is

<div class="container">
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__1">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__2">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__3">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__4">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__5">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__6">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__7">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__8">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__9">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__10">BUTTON</button>
        <button class="btn-gradient btn-gradient--color__11">BUTTON</button>
    </div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here div with class of container will be just simple container to laying all buttons in it. And then all the button elements have class of btn-gradient which will have all the styles common to all the buttons. While the class of say btn-gradient--color-1 all these classes are modifier classes which will provide particular specific styling to buttons like their background which is different for each button here.

🤩 Lets Style Our Buttons With CSS

Here , first we will apply some basic styling to all buttons with btn-gradient class and also to the container class.

.container {
    margin: 10%;
    text-align: center;
}

.btn-gradient {
    width: 200px;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: 600;
    color: #fff;
    cursor: pointer;
    margin: 20px;
    height: 55px;
    text-align: center;
    border: none;
    background-size: 300% 100%;
    border-radius: 50px;
    transition: all .4s ease-in-out;
        outline: none;
}

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now lets add modifier classes to give specific background and box shadow to each button.
You can style them with whatever gradients you want. I will style them as below.


.btn-gradient--color__1 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #25aae1, #40e495, #30dd8a, #2bb673);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(49, 196, 190, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__2 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #f5ce62, #e43603, #fa7199, #e85a19);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(229, 66, 10, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__3 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #667eea, #764ba2, #6b8dd6, #8e37d7);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(116, 79, 168, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__4 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #fc6076, #ff9a44, #ef9d43, #e75516);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(252, 104, 110, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__5 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #0ba360, #3cba92, #30dd8a, #2bb673);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(23, 168, 108, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__6 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #009245, #fcee21, #00a8c5, #d9e021);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(83, 176, 57, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__7 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #6253e1, #852d91, #a3a1ff, #f24645);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(126, 52, 161, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__8 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #29323c, #485563, #2b5876, #4e4376);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(45, 54, 65, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__9 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #25aae1, #4481eb, #04befe, #3f86ed);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(65, 132, 234, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__10 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #ed6ea0, #ec8c69, #f7186a, #fbb03b);
    box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(236, 116, 149, 0.75);
}
.btn-gradient--color__11 {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #eb3941, #f15e64, #e14e53, #e2373f);
    box-shadow: 0 5px 15px rgba(242, 97, 103, 0.4);
}

Now all buttons will get beautiful gradient backgrounds. But we also want to create little wave like effect on hovering these buttons. So for that we will use background-position property in CSS. To know more about background-position , Click Here .
So for creating little wave like effect from right to left , we will make background-position property of buttons to 100% in horizontal direction which is 0% by default. Lets see how can we write this is CSS

.btn-gradient:hover {
    background-position: 100% 0;
    transition: all .4s ease-in-out;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

As simple as that. And we have created 10-11 beautiful CSS Gradient Buttons With Cool Hover Effects with such a little code. Hope this will help you 😇. Thanks for reading. You can visit my Personal Blog for more tutorials like this.
