How to Customize Website Button Styles: A Complete Guide
Buttons serve as important visual elements for calls to action on your site. Here's how to customize them effectively.
Button Shape and Fonts Customization
To modify button appearance:
- Open Site Styles panel
- Click the Buttons dropdown
- Select button type (primary, secondary, or tertiary)
Adjustable settings include:
- Text: Font and styling options
- Shape: Fill or outline options
- Outline thickness
- Horizontal padding
- Vertical padding (except for Fill buttons in editor sections)
Changes save automatically. Use "Apply to All Button Types" to maintain consistency or "Reset Button Styles" to restore defaults.
Note: Keep button text under 25 characters for optimal appearance.
Button Colors
Colors automatically align with your site's theme:
- Fill buttons: Background color fills entire button
- No Fill buttons: Color applies to outline and text
- Underlined buttons: Background color affects text, text color affects background
- Section-specific colors available through color theme modifications
