How many words should be in a button?

Ideally you'll want to keep that button text to two or five words.

What makes a good button?

Summary. A good button is one that is instinctive to your user — they know what it'll do and where they can find it. The beauty of a button is in its simplicity in function, placement and design. Keep the button text concise and make sure it has enough contrast to other UI elements on the page.

How much padding should a button have?

Button padding is one of the most important aspects of button styling. My personal styling is to set vertical padding equal to font height, and set horizontal padding to 1.33 times vertical height. If a font height is 20px, vertical padding is 20px, and horizontal padding would be 27px.
