Part of the CSS Mastery section of Coddy's HTML journey — lesson 27 of 43.

Challenge

Easy

In this lesson, we’ll make the call-to-action button stand out and feel interactive. Right now, it looks like plain text — let’s turn it into a real button with hover and click effects!

Your CSS Challenge:

Style the .btn class to make it look like a real button, set the background color to #ff9933.
Use :hover to change the background color when the user hovers over the button.
Use :active to change the background color when the button is clicked.
Add a transition so the hover and active effects feel smooth.
Add margin-bottom for the paragraph in the header, so it doesn't look too close to the button.
