Implementation notes

About the Gradient Border CSS button

Gradient Border uses controlled contrast and elevation tuned for dark product surfaces. Its rounded corners balance product-friendly softness with a clear boundary. It is built around a two-stop linear gradient anchored on #0d1017 with a 2px border. The border fx, hover reveal details are included in the copy-paste CSS.

Usage

<button class="btn-gradient-border">Button</button>

Pair it with the CSS tab above — the class is self-contained.

Before shipping: keep the semantic button element, verify contrast on your actual background and add a visible:focus-visible state. If you retain motion, include a prefers-reduced-motion override.

Built with: HTML + plain CSS
