Button / CTA text
Sentence case, e.g. “Request a demo,” “View more” or “Check it out.”
Don’t use punctuation in links or buttons, unless it’s a question.
Do make CTA visitor-focused, action-oriented and specific.
When to use title case
- Headlines or sub-headlines that are simply product categories, product names, product feature/tool names or brand names
- News articles and blog post titles (This aligns with PR’s style.)
- Third-level navigation items and most footer items, as noted above
- Form labels, form fields
- Tab headers
