Buttons and links
A button is text with a background that goes somewhere or does something. A link is the same without the background: a word, or a whole box, that takes the shopper to another page.
How to make one
- Type the words with Text, or draw a box.
- Choose ⋯ › Turn into › Button or Link.
- Under Label and link in its Design tab, say where it goes:
/shop,/about, or a full web address.
Design
- Label and link
- The words, and where it goes.
- Background, Text colour
- Buttons start in your accent colour, the one shoppers learn means “tap here”.
- Corners, Border
- Round them all the way for a pill, or give a button only an outline.
- Padding
- Room around the words. Keep buttons at least 44×44 so fingers can find them on a phone; the Check tells you when one is smaller.
Behaviour
A button doesn't have to go anywhere. Under When clicked it can open a drawer, add to cart, set a switch and more. See Click actions.
Good to know
- Keep the accent colour for things shoppers can tap. The Check reminds you when it lands on something that isn't.
- A button inside a product card can read the product's page: set its Shows to Page.
