“Submit” and “Read More” is all you’re using buttons for? Expand your horizons.
These can be used for more than just buttons, they’re really mini-design elements … if you know how to use them.
[box type=”alert”]Ask your favorite graphic designer how long it will take them to create “just a little button” for you. Maybe a gradient color and then a hover-over color? Get out your stopwatch … and your wallet. [/box]
WOO’s shortcode buttons can be used for your basic Submit button, but if you’re looking for some style in your site without digging into Photoshop, here’s a hidden powerhouse of text design.
