Jazz Up Your Submit Buttons

Ok if you use an autoresponder and collect opt-ins via a webform, this should interest you.

Normally, the code your autoresponder provides you gives you a webform that looks like this:

Button

That’s the standard look and it works fine. I’ve been using this ‘look’ for the last 10 months now and I’ve built a list of decent size. But then I discovered how to jazz up my submit button!

Have a look:

Button

haha! I’ve added red lipstick round the button and it looks more sexy and alluring, doesn’t it?

Well, I’m sure you this is nothing revolutionary and you’ve seen it around on some webforms already. But I never figured out how to add that lipstick round the button before (html is for gods). Until now that is…

As you can see, I’ve added the lipstick to my submit button on the right hand side of my blog. It looks a little screwy here, but I’m not gonna waste my time figuring out how to make it look perfect. Also the red turns green when you hover over it, it’s like a psychological response to mover forward (traffic lights). Plus the regular pointer changes to a ‘hand’ pointer’ too (although it seems the Prnt Scrn didn’t capture my pointer).

Ummm.. ok I’m starting to sound like techno-geek who’s getting excited at his new fascinating discovery. Anyway, I added it to all my websites and I think they should increase opt-in conversions a wee bit (or more).

So if you’re looking to do this as well, here’s the link to help you along:

Lipstick Buttons!

    Thanks for the wonderful discovery. I didn’t know there is a html code to do that. Great job!
