What happened to the old “Da Button Factory”?

Da Button Factory has been acquired by ClickMinded! The tool has been upgraded and will remain free. It’s now a call-to-action button generator for our digital marketing students learning how to write a blog post that converts.

• The study concluded that a range of 12 to 48 pixels is the optimal button spacing. This wide range is useful because you can apply it to different button sizes. When you divide the wide range into smaller ranges, you get a button spacing standard that corresponds to the standard button sizes. 12-24 pixels for a large button.
• I have some buttons on my pure HTML/JS page. When the page is opened in browser, the button size is normal. But on refresh/reloading page, the button size is reduced. In fact, I have not set the button text value. The button's text is blank. How should I set the size of my button in HTML irrespective to the size of the text?
• Da Button Factory is also a free CSS button generator. This option requires a bit more knowledge of HTML and CSS, but it will result in a faster web page or email (since there’s no need to load an image). To do this, create an HTML element like ‘div’ or ‘button’, write the CTA copy, and assign a class to it.

We recommend you use the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari to use this tool. You might run into issues if you use Internet Explorer—if so, just download one of the recommended browsers.

How to add your button to a website, email, or social media post

Standard Web Button Sizes

IF you wish to follow Windows UX guidelines, there are indeed guidelines for the size of the button. This can be replicated to Web applications. But not sure if you would do that for web pages. 23px is what windows UX guidelines say.

There are several ways you might go about doing this.

Option #1: Download the button image file

This is the most straightforward way. Just pick your preferred file type and hit the download button.

Next, just upload your button image to your website, your email service provider, or use it in your social media images.

Option #2: Implement the button as HTML + CSS

Da Button Factory is also a free CSS button generator. This option requires a bit more knowledge of HTML and CSS, but it will result in a faster web page or email (since there’s no need to load an image).

To do this, create an HTML element like ‘div’ or ‘button’, write the CTA copy, and assign a class to it. In this example, we’ll call the class “my-cta-button”.

Next, copy the CSS code provided by the tool under the “Embed” option, and add it either to your CSS file or to the page using ‘style’ tags.

That’s it! You now have designed and implemented your own HTML button.

How to create high-converting CTAs

Here are some best practices you can follow to make sure your CTAs drive your users to take action.

Web Button Standard Sizes Toilets

1. Use a button design that stands out. Make sure there’s enough contrast between the button text and its background, as well as between the button and background of the page.
2. Tell your users exactly what they get by clicking on your CTA. Instead of using something generic like “Click here”, be descriptive with copy like “Buy now” or “Download”.
3. Use the first person when writing your CTA copy. It’s better to use “View my account” instead of “View your account”.
4. Keep your CTA copy short and to the point. Avoid creating unnecessarily wordy CTAs.
5. Make your offer more attractive by including terms like “Now”, “Free”, or “Save”. For example, “Download NOW”, “Get FREE Ebook”, or “Save 10$”.

Don’t know which size to use for your image or design? We have listed common aspect ratios, along with popular image and photo sizes to help you create your next project.

What is Aspect Ratio?

The aspect ratio of an image is the proportional relationship of the width to the height. You will recognize it as two numbers separated by a colon in an x:y format. For instance, a 6 x 4 inch image has an aspect ratio of 3:2. An aspect ratio does not have units attached – instead, it represents how large the width is in comparison to the height. This means that an image measured in centimeters will have the same aspect ratio even if it was measured in inches. The relationship between its width and height determines the ratio and shape, but not the image’s actual size.

However, an image’s aspect ratio will change depending on the medium in which it is presented. The aspect ratio of an image displayed on a computer will be different from the aspect ratio of that same image displayed on a phone.

Aspect ratios are a critical part of web content because images need to be uploaded at different aspect ratios for different uses, like desktop vs. mobile or blog vs. social media. When you use the right aspect ratios it ensures your images are displayed as intended without stretching or resolution loss.

Let’s go over some common aspect ratios that are typically used across different spaces.

Common Aspect Ratios

1:1 Ratio

A 1:1 ratio means that an image’s width and height are equal, creating a square. Some common 1:1 ratios are an 8 x 8 inch photo, a 1080 x 1080 pixel image, or typically any profile picture template on social media sites (think Facebook). This aspect ratio is commonly used for print photographs, mobile screens, and social media platforms, but it’s not ideal for most TV or digital formats.

3:2 Ratio

The 3:2 ratio has roots in 35 millimeter film and photography and is still widely used for print sizes. Images framed at 1080 x 720 pixels or 6 x 4 inches are set within this aspect ratio.

4:3 Ratio

A 4:3 ratio is typically used for TV displays, computer monitors, and digital cameras. For every 4 units of width, there are 3 units of height, creating a rectangular shape. An image sized at 1024 x 768 pixels or 8 x 6 inches fits a typical 4:3 ratio.

16:9 Ratio

The 16:9 ratio is mostly seen on presentation slides, computer monitors, or widescreen TVs. This international standard recently replaced the 4:3 ratio for monitors and TV screens, creating a slimmer, more elongated rectangular shape compared to the 4:3 format. Common resolutions in the 16:9 ratio are 1920 x 1080 pixels and 1280 x 720 pixels.

How to Measure Image Size

Unlike aspect ratios, image size determines an image’s actual width and height in pixels. Image size is the dimensions of an image. You can measure image dimensions in any units, but you’ll typically see pixels used for web or digital images and inches used for print images.

It’s important to realize that two different images that have the same aspect ratio may not have the same image size, or dimensions. For instance, an image sized at 1920 x 1080 pixels has an aspect ratio of 16:9, and an image sized at 1280 x 720 pixels also has a ratio of 16:9.

Common Image Sizes for Web

If you are uploading images on the web, it’s crucial to understand image size specifications because incorrect image sizes may stretch or distort to fill fixed dimensions.

When you’re working on a website builder or content management system (CMS), like WordPress or Squarespace, the image size requirements will vary according to the theme or template you’re using. Often, the website builder will resize images for you so that they display correctly in several different formats. To therefore satisfy several different standard image sizes, upload an image that’s big enough to reduce without losing resolution and small enough to comfortably fit the width of a standard screen. Squarespace recommends uploading images between 1500 and 2500 pixels wide. Check your template or theme on whatever CMS you’re using to determine the right image size to upload. Similarly, social media websites will often resize images for you, but there’s a sweet spot that will ensure your images display correctly at a few different sizes.

Note: Don’t confuse image size with image file size. Image file size is measured in bytes according to how much space it takes up on a disk or drive (think kilobytes or megabytes).

These are some of the most common image sizes for web.

1920 x 1080 pixels

This standard image size is widely seen across high definition TVs, presentations, and social media cover photos. It follows the 16:9 aspect ratio.

1280 x 720 pixels

This size follows the standard HD format featured in photography and film. It fits the 16:9 aspect ratio.

1080 x 1080 pixels

You’ll see this 1:1 ratio image size used widely across social media, namely Instagram and Facebook posts.

Common Photograph Sizes

Have you ever wanted to print an image or design, but haven’t figured out which size to use? While you can print an image at any size you want, there are some standard photo sizes that will help you narrow down the options. Different sizes work in different environments; display larger prints or posters to bring attention to an event or service, and reserve smaller prints for display in homes or on a counter space.

Printed images and photos are usually measured in inches, although you might see centimeters used in some countries.

Note: If you’re framing an image, you might need two measurements: the image size and the matte size. A matte is a border around the image that extends to the frame. When you print photographs to frame, make sure you know the matte opening size.

These are some of the most common photograph sizes.

4 x 6 or 5 x 7 in

These sizes are standard and popular photo sizes, typically for displaying photography or smaller artwork.

8 x 10 in

This size is a step above the smaller popular photography sizes and is common amongst portraits and larger artwork prints.

8.5 x 11 in

Use this standard flyer size for advertisements displayed in areas with limited space. While not as noticeable as larger poster sizes, the flyer size still aims to alert others in smaller settings.

12 x 18 or 18 x 24 in

Larger than typical flyers, these standard poster sizes are ideal when designing for events or advertisements that need to reach a medium audience.

24 x 36 in

Advertisers use this poster size for outdoor advertisements and specified display cases along high traffic locations.
