CTA Button Generator
Generate CSS button code with live preview and customization.
Hover effects work in web browsers only. Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail strip inline event handlers — in email, the button stays in its base state.
<class="text-orange">a href="https://example.com" style="display: inline-block; padding: 12px 20px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; font-family: sans-serif; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #FF6B00; border: 2px solid #FF6B00; border-radius: 4px; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; line-height: 1; cursor: pointer; transition: all 0.2s ease"

Use Inline Styles mode for email campaigns and embedded snippets, or CSS Class mode for websites where you want a reusable style.
What Makes a Good CTA Button?
High contrast between the button and its surroundings. Action-oriented text that tells people what happens when they click — "Start Free Trial" beats "Submit" every time. Size matters: the button needs to be large enough to tap on mobile (at least 44px touch target), but not so large it looks desperate. A subtle hover effect builds perceived interactivity and tells users the element is clickable. And whitespace around the button is just as important as the button itself — crowded buttons get ignored.
Inline Styles vs. CSS Classes
Use inline styles when you can't control the stylesheet — email HTML, embedded widgets, CMS snippets with restricted editing. Email clients like Gmail and Outlook strip out style blocks, so inline is your only option. The trade-off: hover effects require onmouseover/onmouseout attributes, which some email clients ignore. Use CSS class mode for websites and landing pages where you can include a style block. You get cleaner HTML, proper hover support, and a class you can reuse across multiple buttons.
