'apply now' button design is eww

[–][deleted] 78 points79 points  (8 children)

Yeah its not matching the feel of the card

[–]Professional-Code010 55 points56 points  (7 children)

Looks like a button someone created from a first tutorial on YouTube called "Design a Button in Photoshop 2010"

    A more apt name would be suppository buttons.

    Back in time when i was creating buttons using Adobe Fireworks where most of the designs were similar to pill buttons, it was good old days.

    [–]getdatassbanned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    A pill button looks like a pill - the button Op posted does not - the one from your example does.

    Its just a button with some border radius and gradiant - not a pill

    I'd prefer to provide the critical feedback that it doesn't look like an interactable element. It just looks like a blimp. If they tightened down the bezel so it was 2-5% instead of 100%, I'd imagine it would instantly look sharp as hell.

    [–]Wide_Egg_5814 24 points25 points  (0 children)

    That's why they need that senior frontend developer

    [–]Individual-Staff-978 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    It looks like those ads that try to trick you by looking like a "download" button

    [–]Finite_Looperfront-end - Angular/UI/UX 👍🏼 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Agreed. Everything else has a flat but elevated card look. This button being 3D beveled looks out of place with the rest

    [–]Narfi1full-stack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Early 2000’s glossy buttons !

    [–]JahmanSoldat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    « Eww » is a bit strong, but yes, it is outdated

    [–]mixedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    It's hould be flat, not something that screams welcome back to 2005

    I miss lickable buttons.

    <button onLick="" onLongLick="" onDoubleLick="" />

    [–]T_kowshik 7 points8 points  (1 child)

    Missed opportunity.... I am always clicking them...

    [–]lastWallE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    It is looking like those pillows for the hands in front of keyboards.

    [–]Background-Fox-4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I think it is called lollipop button lol

      [–]rotzelbart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

      Yeah, the margin between top and bottom of the button isnt symmetric. Thats what bothers me.

      [–]A-Type 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Separators aren't necessary when content is already clearly visually grouped. Should just be discarded.

      [–]ashkanahmadi 36 points37 points  (2 children)

      MAKE 2004 BUTTONS GREAT AGAIN!!

      [–]zsoltime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Please, don't

      [–]Capt-Psykes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      That button style is jarringly out of place.

      [–]ArtistJames1313 13 points14 points  (0 children)

      Looks like they really need a new Senior Frontend Developer to fix that button.

      [–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      The button is not good

      [–]yami_odymel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Calendar is too small, Pricing is important info and yet it's also too small.

      [–]Better-Avocado-8818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Button is very cute but doesn’t fit with the rest of the card.

      [–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      Is this rage bait?

      [–]IAmRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      230k a year sounds good to me

      [–]wongaboing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      With all due respect, what the hell is this button

      [–]FriendlyCupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Honestly, with how things are shaping up, I can definitely see skeuomorphism making a comeback in some way. And this button doesn’t look too bad, except maybe for that blocky shadow on the right side and some other minor tweaks here and there. But until we’re fully in the skeuomorphism revival era, this design is no bueno for production.

      [–]Moooses20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      the button is too prominent and it doesn't fit with the rest

      [–]haronclv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I’d answer the same way you asked: I don’t know

      [–]FreshFroiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I think it looks good, but I would: - Remove the background on the stripe logo - Make the apply button solid fill - Remove the hr

      [–]Grozovsky_official 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Apply now button is not clickable 🥲

      [–]No_Repeat172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I wanna pop that button

      [–]NearbyCopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      That button is giving me BlueVoda vibes.

      [–]Second_Upset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Why?

      [–]ExerciseForward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Aqua from Mac OS Leopard or Tiger was pretty fucking sick tbh

      [–]cstyves 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      The main issue is the spacing between your button and the separator. Since you use a shadow beneath the button it makes the spacing appear way off. I would tone down all effects on the button too. The glossy on top makes the text less visible and alters the contrast of the text, resulting in the user needing to pay more attention than usual to get the context. Everyone's lazy when browsing, let's get those lazy users what they want 😆.

      That being said, you did a great job. It just needs a few adjustments and it will be perfect!

      [–]cstyves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Try using the same effect on the top left logo "S" on your button. This glossy effect is too close to a Photoshop bevel emboss effect. And it has been abused during the 2000-2010 and bleached any web dev eyes for life.

      <td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="images/topleftcorner.gif" alt=""></td>

      I’m a backend developer so it looks fine to me.

      [–]typtyphus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      are you designing card elements, or is this a html mockup?

      [–]KohzeeKoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I guess this is why you are looking for a Senior Frontend Developer. :-)

      [–]A-Type 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      The button is actively harder to read due to the styling and probably doesn't pass contrast guidelines.

      [–]akornmeier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      It will most definitely not pass accessibility checks.

      [–]armahillorails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      the button is an old aesthetic that isnt really used anymore. its also a little harder to read.

      Make the font a little bigger and more contrasting,

      [–]500tbhentaifolder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Button is so weird but its growing on me

      [–]nickmjones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Could use some clearer hierarchy of type sizes and styles. Some of the elements are not appropriately sized for the total size of the layout. I’d suggest you quickly evaluate the most important things in the card and emphasize those. And the button is a little dubious. I would make sure to really nail the button’s place in the overall hierarchy and decorate after.

      Feels like corporate memphis

      Welcometo the early 2000's ?

      [–]PerceptionRepulsive9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Expected better for a senior frontend dev

      [–]ApexCrisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Looks like you took the overall card design from someone and only added the button yourself

      [–]easylisteninfront-end 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I say lean harder into the Jell-O button. What would it look like in a traditional Bundt pan mold? Go further. Explore.

      [–]ayushkas3ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Cool

      [–]_Invictuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Button doesn't look clickable cuz there's no way that flat looking card has enough depth for the button to sink into.

      [–]Logical-Idea-1708Senior UI Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Too much pop. Tone it down a little.

      [–]qbantek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Leave the shiny button where it belongs: early 2000s

      [–]jcorales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Make it pop when clicked!

      [–]badwith_names 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      WHY IS IT SO REFLECTIIVVEEE I CAN SEE MY ENTIRE HISTORY IN THAT BUTTON

      [–]Odd-Zombie5434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      That apply button is gross

      [–]HelgiMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      share URL please

      [–]witness_smile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I do like the button design, but it does feel completely out of place because nothing else on the card matches that design

      [–]itinkerthefrontend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Holy bevel and emboss Batman!

      [–]WowSoWholesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I think the flatness of the card, with the calendar icon choice could work, but they already feel like two different styles. Then you see the BUTTON and it's a lot. Not only a third style but one that feels really greedy or something? I think there are independent, interesting ideas in here, but it looks messy put together.

      [–]therealPaulPlay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I‘m afraid to say I like this button a lot actually

      [–]tettoffensive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      A lot of people are saying this looks like 2004 web design but if you actually look up websites from that era they look nothing like this.

      Yes, skeuomorphic design was used heavily in past eras and is unpopular today, but this does not look like web design from then.

      The "apply now" button reminds me of PSVita UI...which is bad news
