Call to Action (CTA)

also known as CTA

A call to action (CTA) is a button, link, or message designed to drive users toward one clear next step, such as 'Sign up' or 'Buy now'. Effective CTAs use action-oriented language, stand out visually, and set clear expectations. A screen usually has one primary CTA.
