Primary button

A primary button allow users to take actions, and make choices, with a single tap.

Usage Guidelines

Buttons are aligned to the right hand side of a page. In some cases where there are form fields that need an approximate action, the button can be placed at the right end of a row if there are 1-3 form fields before.

Text label

Describe the action that will occur if a user taps a button. For maximum legibility, don’t wrap text.

Size

Buttons take the size of their container, spanning a minimum of 3 columns in the foundation grid.

Hierarchy

  • High emphasis: Primary buttons
  • Medium emphasis: Secondary buttons
  • Low emphasis: Text links
