How to make a header link standout like a button?

[Morgans]

Hi

https://www.morganskitchensandbedrooms.co.uk/

This is my website that I am currently working on.

Does anyone know how I can make the ‘Book a free design visit’ at the top of my website stand out more.

I want to change it to a different colour text and maybe put a background behind only that to make it stand out and act like it’s a button itself.

Any help would be appreciated so so much!

Many thanks

ok, go to base.css and add the following code :

a#HeaderMenu-book-a-free-design-visit {
    background-color: #010101;
    color: #fff !important;
    border-radius: 7px;
}

Hi That looks great but once selected, the linked text disappears and is the same colour as the background, there any way to keep it white?

Hi, This looks so good but it’s just when I click on it and go to the page, the linked text changes to the same colour as the background?

Can you provide a screenshot?

Hi @Morgans ,

Please replace the previous code with this new one. This new code should work on all pages.

Hi @Morgans

Check this one.

• From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
• Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
• In the “Assets” folder, click on “base.css, style.css or theme.css” file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:

a#HeaderMenu-book-a-free-design-visit {
    border: 1px solid;
    border-radius: 20px;
}
a#HeaderMenu-book-a-free-design-visit:after, a#HeaderMenu-book-a-free-design-visit:before {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    background: rgb(var(--color-foreground));
    color: rgb(var(--color-background));
    border: 1px solid;
    border-radius: 20px;
}

Hi there - are you able to help me do the the same for the Sign-In button on my site? It links to an external website.

Thank you so much! Can you please help me create it in the blue color like the “Learn More” button on this page? https://jyqxei-gf.myshopify.com/pages/pedalace-for-schools-organizations

I’d like to float it further to the right as well, and I would like to have the standard button hover treatment from the theme (it’s currently showing a blue underline on hover).

Appreciate your help!
