Creating engaging buttons for your dev.to posts

We're diving into creating captivating buttons that not only look good, but invite interaction. This is a short guide on how to code five distinct buttons for your web project, each with a unique call to action, leading users to your repository. We will use the WebCrumbs GitHub repository as an exemple. Here's how to get your hands dirty:


The Introduction Button

Code a button with the label "See our GitHub." This is your handshake to the world, the front door to your creation.

The Invitation Button

Craft a button that beckons with the words "Explore WebCrumbs." It's like saying, 'there’s more beneath the surface.'

The Engagement Button

This button with the label "Dive into Code" is where curiosity meets code. It's the first step into a larger world.

The Connection Button

A button that invites them to "Join the Conversation" is a button that says you value their input.

The Integration Button

Lastly, roll out the red carpet with a "Become a Maker" button. It's an invitation to contribute and belong.

Each button is a journey, a narrative, and an invitation. They're not just static elements; they're dynamic invitations to experience what you've built, to explore, engage, connect, and integrate. Now, it's your turn to create buttons that tell your story.
