INTERACTIVE Image call to action boxes for Breakdance

Image boxes that reveal a button on hover

CTA Box puts a title, text and a button over an image. On hover the button slides up into view, with an optional sheen across the image. Add an overlay so the text stays readable on any photo.

2

Write the message

Enter a title, some text and the button text and link.

3

Style it

Features

What you can do with it

A simple box with the options you need to make it fit your design.

Hover reveal

The button is hidden until hover, then rises into view and pushes the title up.

Sheen effect

A light sheen passes across the box on hover. Turn it off with one toggle.

Reveal content on hover

Hide the text as well as the button until hover, so only the title shows at first.

Solid or gradient overlay

Add an overlay over the image so white text stays readable.

Touch-friendly options

Show the button without hover on mobile devices, or always show it at every width.

Alignment

Align the button left, centre or right, and align the title and text with their typography settings.

Tips & FAQ

Good to know

What happens on phones and tablets?

Touch screens have no hover, so turn on Show Button without hover on mobile devices. The button is then visible straight away on smaller screens.

Can I show the button all the time?

Yes. Turn on Always Show Button to take the button out of the hover reveal at every width.

Why does my box have no height?

The image gives the box its height. Add an image, or set a height in the Design section.

Can I use it in a post loop?

Yes. The image, title, content and button fields accept dynamic data, so each post can fill its own box.

Can I turn off the shine?

Yes. Turn on Disable Sheen Effect to keep the hover reveal without the sheen.
