Overview
Default download links often look out of place on a site with a defined brand. Download Monitor Buttons solves this with a templating system that controls the look of each button. You set background colors, borders, font types, font sizes and font colors, and you can see the result in a WYSIWYG editor as you work, so there is no coding and no guessing.
The plugin also puts file information on the button itself. You can show the file size, file name and version number, so visitors know what they are getting before they click. It works with Download Monitor, so the tracking and file protection you already use stay in place. You can keep several templates and switch between them for different sections of your site.
Features
- Custom button templates: Create as many download button designs as you need, tailored to your site's branding, without writing any code.
- Live WYSIWYG editor: Design a button and preview it in real time, so you can check how it looks before it goes on a page.
- Full styling control: Adjust background colors, borders, font types, font sizes and font colors to build consistent button styles that match your brand.
- File details on buttons: Display the file size, file name and version number directly on the button so visitors see key facts up front.
- Works with Download Monitor: The buttons sit on top of Download Monitor, so its download management, tracking and file protection keep working alongside your new designs.
- Multiple template support: Manage several button templates and switch between them, which helps you test styles or give different sections of your site their own look.
- Responsive and accessible designs: Buttons are made to look right and work properly on desktops, tablets and mobile phones.

- Sites already using Download Monitor for file delivery
