Now the next step is to change the Button setting on your Page.

Did you see the button on your home page which says “More Info”

You can change the style of this button, text,color and when user will hover their mouse on the button the button color will change, it is called hover effect, which really gives professional and classy touch on our website, so lets make all the changes on our Button

Right now you could see that the Button color is white, text color is Black and Hover effect will be Blue take a look at the image below

Now notice when we Hover our mouse on the button, the button text color also changes from black to white, it is pretty near effect, let’s perform all those effects.

Click on the Button and you will see the complete panel on your left hand side for all the button properties, Now you can make any changes to your button by Simply Clicking and apply the effect.

Please Note the Link “#About” in the link Field of the button, it means once the button Clicked it will take user to the same page of our website where About us Information has been displayed.

So instead of sending user different page you can add a section on the same page, give a name to the section and make it Clickable, in this case, our section name was About and by typing Pound sign # and the name of the section, once clicked it will take us straight to that specific section of the page.

Next Step is Change the styling of the Button
