Tallacman's Bodacious Buttons for Concrete CMS

The button block that does more than link.

Tallacman's Bodacious Buttons gives editors a proper call-to-action—one that looks intentional, behaves predictably, and fits your brand without touching theme files or writing CSS.

Built for Concrete CMS 9, it handles the hard parts: destinations, downloads, spacing, styling, hover states, borders, and a live preview while you edit. You pick where the button goes. The block makes sure it looks right when it gets there.

• Buttons that look right, link smart, and fit your layout.
• Your theme's buttons—or your own. Your rules.
• Call to action. Zero code.

Add polished call-to-action buttons anywhere on your Concrete CMS site. Link to pages, URLs, or files; control spacing; match your theme or customize colors, typography, borders, and hover states—with a live preview as you edit.

Every page needs a clear next step. Bodacious Buttons makes that step obvious.

Drop a button into a blog post, landing page, sidebar, or footer. Choose a page, paste a URL, or attach a downloadable file. Set the label, adjust the spacing, and decide whether the button should inherit your theme's primary style or carry its own custom look—complete with separate normal and hover colors, border colors, border widths, and typography pulled from your theme's CMS fonts.

The live preview updates as you type, so you see exactly what you're building before you publish. No guessing. No save-and-refresh loop.

Whether you need one on-brand CTA or a campaign button that breaks from the mold, Bodacious Buttons delivers both—without a developer in the loop.
