Instructions

A call-to-action or a CTA button is used to encourage users to act on something e.g. register for a conference, apply for a course, make a payment etc. - see the bottom of this page for an example.

The CTA button will always be the same colour, blue, to ensure users encounter consistency when using the different websites at UCL.

The following four things are required when creating a CTA button:

  1. The text of the button - keywords which will tell the user why to click on the button
  2. The width of the button - width of the whole page, or a percentage e.g. 50%
  3. The alignment of the button - left, centre or right
  4. The link where the button will point to - the URL or web address
  1. Place the cursor where you would like the button to appear
  2. Click on the CTA button icon in the editing toolbar
  3. Type in the text for the button
  4. Choose the size of the button
  5. Choose the alignment of the button
  6. Provide the link

  7. Save
