55 cool CSS Buttons – with Animations!

Buttons are not only good for usability, but also an extremely important design element for your website. For this reason, here is a collection of the best CSS buttons!

Whether big and bold on your home page or small and discreet in the footer, buttons are a very important design element for the user flow on your website. For a corporate website, a more discreet design is often used, while creative industries tend to use more eye-catching and “flashy” buttons. So that all industries are equally served, you will find many different button styles here.

I – and many other web developers/designers – also set a high value on animations for Hover or Focus, which is why all of the following buttons bring along nice animations. But now we start directly!

The pens shown are licensed with MIT. You can find more info about your own use on the Codepen Blog.
