Button animation in CSS in two steps

Button glow animation is an effective method of making your website look interesting and attractive. In this article, we're going to show you how to create such an animation using CSS properties and keyframes, thanks to which we'll be able to achieve a lively button glare that will further encourage website users to take action.

Step 1: Add an HTML button

To do this, we just need to create a simple HTML button and add a class blick-button.

<button class="blick-button">Button</button>

If you refresh the page, nothing will happen yet because the second step still needs to be done.

Step 2: Write CSS styles

To create a button blink, you need to add the following code to your website's CSS file:

.blick-button {
	position: relative;
	overflow: hidden;
	-webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
	transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
.blick-button:before {
	content: "";
	background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
	height: 100%;
	width: 3em;
	display: block;
	position: absolute;
	opacity: 1;
	top: 0;
	left: -4.5em;
	-webkit-transform: skewX(-45deg) translateX(0);
	transform: skewX(-45deg) translateX(0);
	-webkit-transition: none;
	transition: none;
	-webkit-animation: moving 3s ease-in-out infinite;
	-moz-animation: moving 3s ease-in-out infinite;
	-ms-animation: moving 3s ease-in-out infinite;
	-o-animation: moving 3s ease-in-out infinite;
	-animation: moving 3s ease-in-out infinite;
}
@keyframes moving {
	30% {
		webkit-transform: skewX(-45deg) translateX(33.5em);
		transform: skewX(-45deg) translateX(33.5em);
	}
	100% {
		webkit-transform: skewX(-45deg) translateX(33.5em);
		transform: skewX(-45deg) translateX(33.5em);
	}
}
