That’s it for the HTML part let’s start our CSS code.

![default CSS code](https://atulcodex.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Default-CSS-code-1024x274.png)

An HTML web page or document always takes default margin and padding, So first of all we will set the 0 zero to margin and padding of HTML body.

‘box-sizing: border-box;’ is used because sometimes when child element or div is bigger than parent div it overflow the size of parent div. That’s why border-box prevent child element to overflow from parent div.

Now we will beautify our HTML body to show our CTA button at the center of the web page. We have used CSS flexbox, the height will be 100vh, the width is 100% and the background colour is white grey.

We have just disabled the button box-shadow and the cursor will be a pointer on hover.

And one more thing let’s add some font size in the button icon and padding from the right side because it is looking close to the text.
