Let’s See the Design:

HTML Part:

Here is HTML button code. To make this simple button use the two classes btn and btn-gradient.

<button class="btn btn-gradient">
Simple Button
</button>

Now, Start with our simple CSS code

CSS Part:

Let’s design the basic button:

Create a class called .btn and put the CSS there.

.btn {
  width: 200px;
  font-size: 16px;
  font-weight: 600;
  color: #fff;
  cursor: pointer;
  margin: 20px;
  height: 55px;
  text-align: center;
  border: none;
  background-size: 300% 100%;
  border-radius: 50px;
  moz-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
  -o-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
  transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
}

Gradient Color:

After creating the basic structure let’s add some gradient color to make it more attractive.

.btn-gradient {
  background-image: linear-gradient(
    to right,
    #25aae1,
    #40e495,
    #30dd8a,
    #2bb673
  );
  box-shadow: 0 4px 15px 0 rgba(49, 196, 190, 0.75);
}

Hover Effect:

If you want some animation with a hover effect then you can add more CSS like :

.btn:hover {
  background-position: 100% 0;
  moz-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
  -o-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
  transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
}

.btn:focus {
  outline: none;
}
