Abstract
Buttons here, buttons there, buttons everywhere. Buttons are one of the most important elements on a website or any digital product. They help us navigate and perform actions, they frustrate us when they don’t work, and they amaze us when it’s time to buy the gift we’ve always wanted to give to ourselves (or our wives, but mostly to ourselves). They come in all colors and in all sizes. Some even come in weird shapes, but who are we to discriminate? Out of the gazillion different buttons, I’m pretty sure I’m displaying the ugly ones in Figure 11-1, but you get the idea. All shapes and sizes, even though all shapes and sizes are not really needed.
