It is well known that variations in size, color, and location make web pages and software buttons more intuitive. The combination of buttons with animations, interactions, mini-games and other elements can greatly increase the allure of button design and induce users to click. Therefore, in the case of specific designers, designers should try to combine the characteristics of different button types, use scenarios and software or product features for design. The CTA button, for example, can be accurate and eye-catching without having to have a flashy, fun, simple design. The navigation/menu buttons need to be combined with the extended design mode, adding floating hidden design, so that it is more practical. While considering its practicality, the download button should also be combined with user experience and add some small animations, so that users will not be bored even if they wait.
