Ever had one of those moments where your web project just won’t come together? That was me last month, staring at a client’s site with buttons so dull that they could’ve put a coffee addict to sleep 🤣. That was when I found Cssbuttons.io, and bruh, it’s like a button paradise! CSSbuttons.io boasts of over a thousand unique button styles, all raw HTML and CSS, ready to copy and paste right into my code. No bloated JavaScript libraries, no dependencies—just pure, lightweight and straightforward.

Co-incidentally, I also found Uiverse.io. UIverse is similar in concept to CSSButtons.io, but instead of focusing on just buttons, it caters for a wider range of web UI elements.

These tools give me freedom. No relying on clunky React libraries or endless debugging. Just copy the HTML/CSS, paste them in your project, and own them. If you’re a web designer or dev craving simplicity and style, Cssbuttons.io and Uiverse.io are your new best friends. Try them and I dare you not to love the vibe!

Now, a final trick before you leave: I figured out that it is far more convenient when you use embedded CSS with your element, especially when working on simple projects like landing pages and one-page websites. Here’s an example:
