The button is one of the most common design elements that allow users to perform an action and make choices. The primary actions that buttons indicate are Save, Add, Cancel, and Close. Buttons are used in virtually all websites and apps, and their design should clearly indicate to the user what the outcome will be if they choose to press it.
This hierarchy is based on the importance of the button on a page, showing the degree of visual emphasis a button will require:
Based on their visual aspect, there are 9 main types of buttons that we can encounter:
Primary buttons should be easily distinguishable from the rest and not overused. In cases in which more than one button is needed, different colors, outlines, and transparency should be used to differentiate them.
Labeling is crucial for buttons because it helps users quickly understand what purpose they serve. The language should be accessible and straightforward.
A website or an app should be consistent with their buttons - if an action that indicates user completion is labeled with Done, then every similar action should also be labeled as Done.
Colors have different meanings and they can heavily influence the way users interact with buttons. For example, we would not use green for a button that is meant to showcase an error.
