Wordpress CTA button

[kevin.doran]

Is it possible to put a CTA button within a JPEG image that's been uploaded to a WP site?

Not in WP you won't, you would need to create custom code to place the button over the image.

You can out whatever you want on the site. All you need to do is link the image to the action.

Select the image then click the 'link' icon in the toolbar and add the URL.

Edit: ignore my post, I misread the question. But it is possible with a bit of admin code.

Thanks guys. So i'm guessing the options are:

1) Create custom code
2) Have a CTA button drawn into the image but make the whole image clickable (not sure I like this as the button won't do the whole change shade thing when hovered over)

yup, for #1 you would create a "container" with the image as a background and then place the cta button over the top.

If you are using WordPress there are handful of short-codes that let you help creating awesome CTA buttons . For example "Maxbuttons" . You can use A/B testing for these CTA buttons for best performance.

Kevin,

You are in danger of over thinking this. Putting the CTA on top of an image is popular but the general UX is poor. A CTA button should stand out - plonking it on an image might look great on your computer but it might well look naff for someone using a small screen.

A good point well made - appreciated.

@kevin.doran you have told an untruth on your website and I quote "I’m not a techie, so if I can use them I’m certain you can too" You clearly are a techie but WTF is a CTA button. Is it one just for use by Chartered Tax Advisers

 

[kevin.doran]

Haha, brilliant @Bob! I'm actually not a techie at all, i'm just trying to have a grown up conversation with my website person! I've got no idea what a CTA is either...
