Adding buttons

Buttons are a great way to highlight the most important links on a page. They are more eye-catching than hyperlinks and help guide visitors to key tasks.

Best for:

• Home page quick actions
• Links you want to make highly visible 

Advantages:

• Clear, accessible and easy to click
• Consistent style across the site
• Helpful for users on mobile devices
• Easy to link internal pages or documents from the library

Creating a text button 

1. Click on New widget 
2. Scroll to ‘text button’ 
3. Edit the button text in the pink box
4. Select a link
5. Choose a colour scheme 
6. Click Update 

Tips for using Buttons

• Avoid using more than 1–3 buttons per page
• Only use buttons for important actions, not for long lists
• Use clear text, such as “View planning applications”
