How to add Marketing Button to a Netlify CMS website

Embed Marketing Button on Netlify CMS

01

Create a Marketing Button plugin for Netlify CMS on Common Ninja

First, create a Netlify CMS Marketing Button plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Marketing Button and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Marketing Button plugin

When you're done creating the Marketing Button plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Marketing Button Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Marketing Button plugin to your Netlify CMS website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Netlify CMS website.

04

Paste the code to your Netlify CMS website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Netlify CMS website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Netlify CMS’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Marketing Button Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Marketing Button plugin on your Netlify CMS website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Marketing Button plugin on your Netlify CMS plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Netlify CMS website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Marketing Button plugin to your Netlify CMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Netlify CMS website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Marketing Button widget when a single action deserves special visual attention in your design. With clear text, an icon, and styling that stands out from standard links, it guides visitors toward promotions, signups, downloads, or key pages. You can reuse this button style across your site to create consistency so users learn quickly what type of actions it represents. This works well in hero sections, campaign banners, product highlights, and blog posts where you want a defined, attractive next step. By giving your primary actions a distinct, well designed button, you reduce ambiguity and make it easier for visitors to understand how to move forward with your offer.
