• Hello,
    Apologies in advance if you think this is a simple question, but I have done a lot of research online and everywhere but have been unable to find an answer to this issue.

    I am a novice and have decided to use WordPress to create my own website. So far I have really enojoyed my journey and love how my webisite is shaping up. I am however trying to find out how I can create a large 3D button similar (ACT NOW) to the one shown on the website. Any ideas or plugins that will allow me to setup such a field on my homepage will really help.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • I checked out the page you referenced. Since the “ACT NOW” button does not actually react to mouse hover or clicks, you could create a similar result by turning an image into a button.

    The specific process of creating a button with an image can vary based on your specific plugins. I would recommend watching a few tutorials on YouTube that demonstrate using an image as a button. Hopefully this will allow you to find one that will work with your setup and desired application. Good luck!

    Thank you Ryan.
    I will try that out.

    Like Ryan said, the approach can vary. Probably the simplest is to wrap an image with anchor tags;
    <a href="destination.htm"><img src="button.jpg"></a>
    You probably figured that much out by now.

    An interesting alternative would be to use image sprites. Search for “image sprites” for more on this approach. What’s interesting is you can seamlessly change images when a user hovers over the link/image area, perhaps the button illuminates. When the user clicks, you can swap in a depressed button image.

    Depending on your need, clicking a button does not need to navigate somewhere else. It could instead invoke a JavaScript function that puts up a modal or otherwise changes something on the current page.
