A soft shadow button hover built with pure HTML and CSS that adds subtle depth and elevation on hover, creating a gentle, modern interaction effect without relying on JavaScript or external libraries.
Usage
This component is ideal for interfaces where subtle hover feedback is preferred, such as secondary buttons, minimal UI designs, dashboards, or layouts that benefit from soft depth cues instead of strong animations.
Implementation
The hover effect is achieved using CSS box-shadow and transitions, allowing the button to smoothly elevate and cast a soft shadow on interaction while remaining lightweight and easy to reuse.
