Components

Reusable components and styling options that can be used with most content types.

Buttons

When you should use a start button

Buttons should be used when you need a user to take an action, such as linking straight into a form or online service that allows the user to complete their task. This applies to both internal and external online forms and services.  

Button text

The button text should be short, one word if possible, and be a call to action (verb).

Here are some options you can use:

  • Login
  • Register
  • Start application
  • Book an appointment
  • Subscribe
  • Pay
  • Report it
  • Renew

Example

Register

How to add a start button

Start buttons are created using the toolbar in the WYSIWYG editor.  Select the text you want to be a button, insert a link to where you want the button to go, then choose the start button option in the Styles dropdown.
