Features
- Create unlimited number of modern style buttons
- Works with most browsers, but degrades nicely in older browsers
- CSS3 compliant, no Javascript or other code is used to generate button (note that Javascript is used to open links in new windows)
- CSS only loads on pages with shortcode or function call
- You can use shortcodes inside shortcodes, i.e. [standout-css3-button][my_shortcode][/standout-css3-button]
- Many different color styles to choose from, but you can also create your own
- Custom CSS automatically busts caches when you update it. Change it as often as you want, it will display changes in real-time!
Shortcode
To display on any post or page, use this shortcode:
[standout-css3-button href=”http://www.yahoo.com/”]Button text goes here[/standout-css3-button]
