Buttons

There are three button colors that can be used in the CMS. They can easily be created when you set up your link or you can use the List Spread Buttons snippet to create multiple buttons in a row.

Yellow

Black

Blank

Primary Button

Good for calls-to-action, think of it as a main purpose for a user on a page. You can find examples on our Apply Now page and in our magazine which prompts the user to download the PDF version.

Primary Button

Secondary Button

This button compliments a primary button in some format. Generally, you only use this button if you already have a primary button somewhere on your page.

Secondary Button

Styled Button

If you’re looking to have a link that is a bit more stylized but not necessarily a call to action, this is a good option. These links can be seen on our homepage as the link to more news and on profiles with CV’s. This is the default button style in the List Spread Buttons snippet, the RSS Feed Combined snippet, and the Top Title w/More Links snippet.
