Designing the buttons is a very important part of Web Design. The color and text and appearance of the Button tell the user about the Button. For example, the "Save" button is green, which means the button is safe to use, no harm can be made to the Button. The Delete Button may be in red color to indicate the user, once data is deleted, it cannot be reverted back again.
Designing of a button is done generally by a CSS class. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. The current version of CSS is CSS3.CSS is defined under a style tag, and it can be put on the same page or in a CSS file.CSS3 support transformation, rotation, animation etc. How CSS class is written, here is the example
<html>
<head>
<style>
.YouClass {
background-color: powderblue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Very general property of a CSS is with, height, background color, front color, font type, font size ,here is an example of how this basic input are placed inside a CSS.
<style>
.YouClass
{
width :142px;
height :41px;
border-radius: 50px;
border-color: #FFFFFF;
background-color:#813d9c;
cursor:pointer;
text-align:center;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:17px;
font-family:Verdana;
}
</style> Designing CSS for a perfect button is time taking. Designers have to change the attributes of the CSS, save it and open it in the browser and test again and again for making a CSS as per to imagine. Not only time taking but also requires a lot of patience, moreover CSS works differently in different browser, the appearance of an element become change when it appears in different browser, that is another problem of CSS design. To handle it, a lot of experience is required, and vendor-specific code is required for the design. A new developer takes a lot of time and embarrassing situation for the same.

In this tool there are eight tabs , each tab has different different functionality.
The "General Tab" is for the width, height, border, border radius, background color, padding, and margin of the button. These are the general properties of a button.
The next tab is "Text Tab" to control the design of text. For example, text alignment, font color, font size, style, font with font shadow property can be adjusted from here.
Next is "Gradient Tab". Gradient means multicolor background, a button can be multicolor and the color value or color intensity can be adjusted with slider gradient and gradient angle can be interested and Guardian color can also be changed from there.
Next is the "Hover tab". Hover means when a mouse or object is near to the element, the element will change its appearance by changing color or size or both. This property can be adjusted from this tab.
Next is "Padding". Padding is a property where padding can be adjusted, padding top, padding right, and margin can also be adjusted from this tab.
"Image" is a tab where the background image can be adjusted or users can put their own image in the background.
The next tab is "Symbol". "Symbol" is the unique feature of the tool. In the Button, you can insert symbols, there are multiple symbols. You can choose and change their color and please proper position where you need in your button. This is the unique feature of this tool. The button will get "base64" images.
The next is the "SVG" tab. SVG is vector graphics that create images like objects. Users can place multiple SVGs on the button. Users can change the color also.
One point must be noted that the "Symbol" inserted in the CSS does not include any external link for Symbol creation. Either Base64 or SVG are inserted locally. Base64 is an encoding pattern that can encode an image. Once the image is converted into Base64, it becomes a large string. In this tool, the provider uses Base64 encoding to avoid external image sources. It will make CSS a little bit larger, but there is no external dependency, CSS can perform its own. Another technique is SVG. SVG represents an image outline. The full form of SVG is vector graphics. This is created only as an outline. No inner fields are filled, they are only an outline color to represent a symbol of a specific object. This technique also avoids external sources.
Here is an example of image to Base64
data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAC0AAAAdCAYAAAA+YOU3AAAAAXNSR0IArs4c
Here is an example of SVG
