Buttons
Use button styles that best suit your designs and encourage users to take the desired actions. You can customize the button's properties to improve the user experience of your website or system, changing the size, shape, color and many more.
Button tag
As one of the most common elements of UI design, buttons have a very important function of engaging users with your website or app and guiding them in their actions. Use the .btn classes with the <button> element and add additional styling that will make your buttons serve their purpose and draw users’ attention.
<a href="#" class="btn" role="button">Link</a>
<button class="btn">Button</button>
<input type="button" class="btn" value="Input"/>
<input type="submit" class="btn" value="Submit"/>
<input type="reset" class="btn" value="Reset"/>Default button
The standard button creates a white background and subtle hover animation. It’s meant to look and behave as an interactive element of your page.
<a href="#" class="btn" role="button">Link</a>Button variations
Use the button classes that correspond to the function of your button. The big range of available colors will help you show your buttons’ purpose and make them easy to spot.

Choose the right color for your button to make it go well with your design and draw users’ attention. Button colors can have a big influence on users’ decisions, which is why it’s important to choose them based on the intended purpose.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-blue">Blue</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-azure">Azure</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-indigo">Indigo</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-purple">Purple</a>

<a href="#" class="btn btn-red">Red</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-orange">Orange</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-yellow">Yellow</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-lime">Lime</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-green">Green</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-teal">Teal</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-cyan">Cyan</a>Ghost buttons
Use the .btn-ghost-* class to make your button look simple yet aesthetically appealing. Ghost buttons help focus users’ attention on the website’s primary design, at the same time encouraging them to take action.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-ghost-primary">Primary</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-ghost-secondary">Secondary</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-ghost-success">Success</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-ghost-warning">Warning</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-ghost-danger">Danger</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-ghost-info">Info</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-ghost-dark">Dark</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-ghost-light">Light</a>Square buttons
Use the .btn-square class to remove the border radius, if you want the corners of your button to be square rather than rounded.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-square">
White
</a>Pill buttons
Add the .btn-pill class to your button to make it rounded and give it a modern and attractive look.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-pill">
White
</a>Outline buttons
Replace the default modifier class with the .btn-outline-* class, if you want to remove the color and the background of your button and give it a more subtle look. Outline buttons are perfect to use as secondary buttons, as they don’t distract users from the main action.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-primary">
Primary
</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-secondary">
Secondary
</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-success">
Success
</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-warning">
Warning
</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-danger">
Danger
</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-info">
Info
</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-dark">
Dark
</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-light">
Light
</a>Button size
Add .btn-lg or .btn-sm to change the size of your button and differentiate those which should have primary focus from those of secondary importance. Adapt the button size to your design and encourage users to take actions.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Large button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-lg">Large button</button><button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Small button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-sm">Small button</button>Buttons with icons
Label your button with text and add an icon to communiacate the action and make it easy to identify for users. Icons are easily recognized and improve the aesthetics of your button design, giving it a modern and atractive look.

</a>Dropdown buttons
Create a dropdown button that will encourage users to click for more options. You can add a label with an icon or remove the label and add an icon on its own if you want to save space. Choose the option that will best suit your design and improve the user experience.
<div class="dropdown">

</div>Loading buttons
Add the .btn-loading class to show a button’s loading state, which can be useful in the case of operations that take longer to process. Thanks to that, users will be aware of the current state of their action and won’t give it up before it’s finished.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary btn-loading">

</a>List of buttons
Create a list of buttons using the .btn-list container to display different actions a user can take. If you add aditional styling, such as colours, you will be able to focus users’ attention on a particular action or suggest the result.
<div class="btn-list">
<a href="#" class="btn btn-success">Save changes</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Save and continue</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-danger">Cancel</a>
</div>If the list is long, it will be wrapped and some buttons will be moved to the next line, keeping them all evenly spaced.
<div class="btn-list">
<a href="#" class="btn">One</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Two</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Three</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Four</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Five</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Six</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Seven</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Eight</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Nine</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Ten</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Eleven</a>

<a href="#" class="btn">Thirteen</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Fourteen</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Fifteen</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Sixteen</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Seventeen</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Eighteen</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Nineteen</a>
</div>Use the .text-center or the .text-end modifiers to change the buttons’ alignment and place them where they suit best.
<div class="btn-list justify-content-center">
<a href="#" class="btn">Save and continue</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a>
</div><div class="btn-list justify-content-end">
<a href="#" class="btn">Save and continue</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a>
</div><div class="btn-list">
<a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-danger me-auto">Delete</a>
<a href="#" class="btn">Save and continue</a>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a>
</div>Buttons with avatars
Use buttons with avatars to simplify the process of interaction and make your design more personalized. Buttons can contain avatars and labels or only avatars, if displayed on a smaller space.
<a href="#" class="btn">
