Call to action is very important on website and they help to increase the experience the user gets. It allows you to direct the user to something that they need to do like clicking a button that says "shop now". Examples of this are on the H&M website, they have a large slideshow with images of their products and a large button that says "Shop Now", this is to get the attention of the user.

Make it catch the eye

Think about the size, color and make sure it will draw the attention of the user.

Bright colors really make the button stand out and these colors are available from the Flat UI Kit from bootstrap.

Make it clear

Use Dynamic words, such as "Buy now", "Donate Now" and "View Sale" etc.

Use White Space

Use white space around the button, this will help to keep the button detached from other elements on the page. White space adds power to your website and the elements on the page.

Allow the user to click

Make a button that stands out to the user, so they can click on it and follow to what they need. Use bright colors for buttons to make them stand out.
