Make your own link buttons for emails

How to use this link button generator

This page allows you to create large clickable link buttons that you can paste into an email, making it easy for your recipients to follow the links. On this page you can customize the link button's text and colours, and choose the URL (web address) that recipients will visit when they click the link button.

Creating your link button

Use the options on this page to configure:

the web page that your recipients will go to when they click the link in your email

the text that will appear on the button

the colour of the link button and its text

Once that's done, we suggest you use the Test this URL option to confirm that you have linked to the correct web page.

Including the link button in your email

Prepare your email in the usual way.

Come back to this page and click the grey "copy your link" button.

Go back to your email, put the cursor where you want the link to appear in your message, and paste (typing Ctrl-V is easiest).

Your email message should now have the link in it. You can continue to edit the message text, but please avoid editing anything in the button itself as its formatting has been very carefully crafted to display correctly in as many email programs as possible.

Testing your email

It's a very good idea to send a test email to yourself or others, to check that your message works correctly before sending it to your live audience. Ideally, try to send it to someone who uses a different email system than yours - so, for example, if you use Outlook, try sending to someone who uses Gmail or Yahoo and ask them to confirm that it all works as expected.
