Buttons

Use “Call to Action” (CTA) buttons to help users complete tasks and move through your website. These belong at the end of a section or the bottom of a page.

Text in a CTA button should be actionable.
Users should be able to cover the rest of the text on the page and still understand the CTA button.
Do not use any punctuation in CTA buttons.
Capitalize the first word only, unless the CTA contains a proper noun.
Only two buttons should be listed in the same section. If you need more, consider using interactive panels.
Call-to-action buttons are left-justified on the page.

Capitalize only the first word in a panel, unless there is a proper noun.
Do not use punctuation after the title of the panel unless it is a question.
