Buttons are clickable elements that are used to perform an action.

Usage

Do’s

  • Use a Button to enable actions or decisions that are important to a user, such as:

    • submitting a form;

    • confirming a change;

    • triggering a new element to appear on the page;

    • specifying a new or next step in a process.

  • Button can be used for actions, like ‘Load more’, ‘Filters’ etc.

Dont’s

  • Do not use buttons as navigational elements. Instead, use links when the desired action is to take the user to a new page (with the exception of the back and forward buttons).

  • Do not style Buttons as links.

  • Do not use leading and trailing icons at the same time.

  • Button labels should be as short as possible, while clearly explaining the action the button triggers.

  • For maximum legibility, a text label should remain on a single line.

  • Names like “Read more“, “Learn more“, etc. should be avoided.
