action (i.e., a "Call to Action") are tricky little things.
They seem so simple. So straightforward.

They act like CTA split testing is pointless. But it's not.
Because although the color of a button is unlikely topersuade a
prospect to take action (hence, the term often used for buttons on

And how visible or invisible your button is on the page will - without

How to Design an Effective Call-To-Action Button In
9 Easy Steps
CTA buttons can make or break the effectiveness ofANY page on your
website.
They can make or break your conversion rates.
And if those two points are true, then by default - they can make or
break your business.
So give every CTA button you create the attention it deserves.
Here's how...

6. Step 1 - Think Call To Value
It's not about what your prospect needs to do - it's about what they are
going to get when they click the button. For instance, a 10-day free trial
if they click the button below...

Step 3 - Reduce Friction
When creating a CTA button, you absolutely MUST reduce any and all

Replace words that suggest effort with words that feel like life will be
made easier.

Step 4 - Clickability
You should always make sure your CTA button looks clickable. Avoid
grey or similar color backgrounds, which can make your CTA button look
disabled.

7. Step 5 - Color
Choose a contrasting action color. Your action color shouldn't be a color
in your original brand guidelines (even if your brand manager has a fit).
Step 6 - Distinction
If other CTA buttons are placed nearby on a Home Page or Pricing Page
- make sure the CTA button you're optimizing is distinct from the others
(i.e., use a different action color than its counterpart).
Step 7 - Iconography
Still not getting clicks on your CTA button? Try adding an icon or a
symbol to catch the visitor's eye.

Step 8 - Be Specific With CTAs
You may know what's on the other side of your CTA button - but your
prospects don't.
Wherever and whenever possible, try to use supporting copy to
neutralize a visitor's anxieties about the next step.

Step 9 - Keep It Simple
Be careful not to "over-optimize" your CTA button - for example, avoid
adding extra messages or icons that could introduce some type of
anxiety to your prospects.
