Button, banner and call to action blocks

Buttons, banners and calls to action each prompt a user to take an action by following a link.

A link should always be specific, descriptive and front-loaded with relevant terms. Find out how to write an effective and accessible link.

Buttons block

Use the buttons block to add one or more buttons to your page. A link is added to a button to take your users somewhere with a clear and prominent call to action.

Add a button link

Add your button and then choose a link using the block toolbar. You can search for a page within your website, or add a URL to go somewhere else.

The block comes with a single button by default, but you can have a group of buttons by adding them using ‘+’ in the bottom right corner within the buttons block.

In the block settings panel on the right-hand side, you can adjust the alignment and orientation of the group of buttons.

Customise a button

You can adjust the width of the button in the block settings sidebar. Under settings you’ll see the option to choose a width of 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%.

You can also adjust the background colour, typography size and create shadow on the button to make the corners rounded or with different types of drop shadow.
