It&#8217;s larger and bolder, and is typically reserved for a page&#8217;s calls to action.  Calls to action are what you want a visitor to do when they come to your page.  It might be something like apply, visit, download a file, or contact a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good button will have short text that starts with a verb. Its function should be clear and a reader should feel confident in clicking it.  Let&#8217;s have a look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons double-bottom-margin is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Apply<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">REgister<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hierarchy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Frequently, a page will have several related calls to action. It&#8217;s useful to be able to represent this hierarchy of action visually. Layout is one of the best ways to make the distinction, but below are a few ways to differentiate primary calls from others using button options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use Deep Red for the primary action, Warm Gray for secondary, and an even lighter neutral for a tertiary action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Apply<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-warm-gray-background-color has-background wp-element-button\">Register<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-warm-gray-background-color has-background wp-element-button\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-true-black-color has-gray-200-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\">Connect<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Combine filled and outline buttons to draw the reader&#8217;s eye to the primary call to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Apply<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-deep-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\">Register<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-warm-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buttons are a signal to act.
