How to make a Google button with CSS
I personally like the Google buttons design; they are simple, lightweight, and modern at the same time. So, I decided to reproduce the Google buttons’ design myself with some CSS.

.button {
display: inline-block;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #f5f5f5, #f1f1f1);
-moz-border-radius: 2px;
-moz-user-select: none;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
color: #757575;
width: 152px;
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
border: 1px solid #f2f2f2;
border-radius: 2px;
cursor: default;
font-weight: 700;
text-align: center;
line-height: 27px;
min-width: 54px;
padding: 0 16px;
text-decoration: none
}
.button:hover {
background-color: #f8f8f8;
background-image: linear-gradient(top, #f8f8f8, #f1f1f1);
border: 1px solid #c6c6c6;
color: #333;
box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1)
}
.button.default:active {
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
color: #000
}
And that’s it!
