The HTML
To turn a regular link on your page into a fancy animated CSS3 button, you just need to assign the .button class and one of the supported colors. See some examples below:
DEMO
<a class="duy-button" href="http://demo.com" target="_blank">DEMO</a>
Code:
There are four color classes available – blue, green, orange and gray. The rest of the classes, which you see assigned to the links above, are optional. You can choose a size from small, medium and big, and one more class – rounded, which creates a more rounded version of the button.
The class names are chosen so they are straightforward and easy to remember, but this raises the possibility of a clash with some of the classes on your page.
