A button is a tab with links that direct you to another webpage of the same website or to another website. These buttons help users navigate different pages of your website, such as the service page, the advertise with us page, or the blog page, or perform an action like a purchase, an addition to a shopping cart, a subscription, etc.
A clickable button contains some text with a background color and a URL to which you want to direct your users. You can add some animation to make them more eye-catching. We can create these clickable buttons in “Elementor” very easily with different designs suited to your niche.
These are some samples of buttons taken from different websites. We will learn to design such buttons in Elementor editor, in this article.
Let’s start!
