Example: Button Group section
Savor the authentic flavors of the Chesapeake with a seat at a traditional backyard crab feast, seasoned with local history and a dash of coastal charm. As the official state crustacean, the blue crab represents more than just a culinary delight; it is a centerpiece of our seasonal festivals and a driver of our thriving tourism economy. Beyond the waterfront, our diverse culinary landscape invites you to explore artisan creameries in Frederick County and legendary bakeries on the shores of Smith Island.
Required fields
1. Title – 75 characters max
The Title is a heading that introduces the button. This can optionally be hidden on-screen.
Tip:
- Hide the Title when you need to place a button underneath paragraph text.
2. Button – 50 characters max
Each Button has a label and a destination URL.
- Write a descriptive label so visitors know what to expect when they click on the Button.

Select one of two Button Styles: Primary Button or Secondary Button.
- Use the Primary Button style for your first button.
