Create Websites with CHEETAH
The most important design elements at a glance (2)
Buttons
"Buttons" are frequently used elements on web pages, as they allow linking to other web pages, downloading files, saving information (for example a contact form) or opening a popup window (to name just a few use cases). In principle, they resemble boxes with the difference that buttons do not act as element containers and cannot be pinned anywhere on the web page as a "sticky element".

On the left side you select the type of "redirection" and then in the right area you can configure it accordingly. In this case, clicking the button would cause the Cheetah Sitebuilder web page of the builderall-power domain to pop up in the browser under a new tab. But as you can see from the choices in this window alone, there are far more ways to assign a specific action to a button. Here, too, it is worth trying out the individual categories for yourself.
Tip: Often you need to align several buttons (or more generally, "elements") horizontally or vertically. For this purpose, there is a special alignment function in "Cheetah" that works as follows: You click one after the other with the
