Content

CTAs should be succinct and precise:

• Always use sentence case.
• Always use active language.
• Always be specific.
• Avoid repeating the same language you've used in a Heading.
• Avoid the use of personal possessive pronouns. This helps to keep the copy short.

Accessibility

In order to avoid confusion while using screen readers each CTA on a page should be unique. If this isn’t possible, use Visually Hidden.

Variations

Full Width

CTA Buttons by default will be responsive and will be displayed as full width below the smallest breakpoint. This can be overriden by setting fullWidth="always" and fullWidth="never".

Chevron Icon

Multi-part forms with CTAs like ‘Next’ or ‘Save & Continue’ should be buttons (because they submit forms). Including a chevron indicates that the journey is not complete.

Customising variants

Custom variants can be defined in your theme using the variants property.

import { createTheme, CTAButton } from '@ovotech/nebula';
import { ThemeProvider } from 'styled-components';

const Example = () => {
  const theme = createTheme({
    cta: {
      variants: {
        golden: {
          background: 'goldenrod',
          foreground: 'white',
          backgroundHover: 'darkgoldenrod',
          foregroundHover: 'white',
          border: 'goldenrod',
          borderHover: 'darkgoldenrod',
        }
      },
    },
  });

  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
      <CTAButton variant="golden">Custom variant</CTAButton>
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
};
import { createTheme, CTAButton } from '@ovotech/nebula';
import { ThemeProvider } from 'styled-components';

const Example = () => {
  const theme = createTheme({
    cta: {
      variants: {
        golden: {
          background: 'goldenrod',
          foreground: 'white',
          backgroundHover: 'darkgoldenrod',
          foregroundHover: 'white',
          border: 'goldenrod',
          borderHover: 'darkgoldenrod',
        }
      },
    },
  });
