Hi @wilfredomerced, If that button is performing an in-page action, then a Button is fine. If it is redirecting to a new page, then the preferred approach for accessibility is to use an Anchor. We do have Buttons that behave like Anchors as seems to be used in the mockup. Please only use those as a last resort as it is not as accessible of a solution. |
