Animated Gradient Button

This snippet creates modern, eye-catching buttons with animated gradient backgrounds that shift colors on hover. The buttons also include a subtle ripple effect on click for enhanced interactivity.

Features

  • Smooth gradient animation on hover
  • Subtle elevation effect with shadow
  • Click ripple animation for tactile feedback
  • Four pre-styled variants (primary, secondary, success, danger)
  • Fully responsive design
  • Works with or without JavaScript (graceful degradation)

Usage Tips

  1. Customization: Easily change the gradient colors by modifying the background property in the CSS
  2. Accessibility: The buttons maintain good contrast ratios for text readability
  3. Integration: These buttons work well as call-to-action elements on landing pages, forms, or navigation menus
  4. Variants: Use different button styles to indicate different actions or importance levels

Implementation Notes

The button effect uses CSS pseudo-elements and transitions for the gradient animation, with optional JavaScript for the ripple effect. The gradient animation works by changing the background position on hover, creating a smooth color shift effect.
