Button System for Emails

Choice of platform and design elements

The challenge began with selecting an appropriate platform, which an email web page could benefit from a button system. The typeface chosen was Inter and the primary color was #1F50B9.

Button priorities and types

The first fundamental step was to define three distinct button types - primary and secondary. This classification helps establish a clear visual hierarchy that guides users through their interactions by intuitively prioritizing actions based on their importance:

• Primary buttons: Used for the most important actions within the application, ensuring they capture immediate attention.
• Secondary buttons: Used for less critical actions than primary buttons, supporting the main tasks without overshadowing them.

Defining button sizes

Having categorized button types, and defining their sizes was crucial. The length of a button often correlates with its importance and frequency of use, improving the user experience by aligning visual importance with function.

Designing button states

To promote an engaging and responsive interface, each button has been designed with different states - Normal, Hover, Active, and Disabled. This design choice not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides clear and immediate visual feedback about the button's state, aiding intuitive navigation and interaction.

Accessibility standards

A commitment to accessibility was paramount, with all button designs adhering to WCAG guidelines for sufficient color contrast. 

Demonstrating use cases

By modeling real-world scenarios, such as those found on platforms such as Monday.com, the practicality and adaptability of the button system was demonstrated. 

Conclusion

The development of this button system illustrates a comprehensive approach to UI design, where every element is considered to improve user interaction and operational efficiency.
