When it comes to building out your websites, you should have content.

Content Comes In Various Forms

Content includes a mix of text, images, videos, banners, call to actions, buttons, boxes, icons, etc.

WordPress Themes offer overall visual layouts for your websites and blogs.

But with simple HTML and CSS code, you can also add visual elements inside your pages and posts to make content more visually appealing.

Content Boxes Are Simple Visual Elements

As with anything, there is always more than one way to achieve your desired end result.

You can make your pages and post more visually appealing by adding content boxes, buttons and special text call outs.

This blue border box is one example of a special note callout. Visually, this content box separates the text inside the box from the page and brings extra attention to it.

These HTML content boxes and buttons can be used for many different purposes:

• Call to Actions - A specific action you want your viewers to take
• Special Notes - A special note such as a required affiliate disclosure statement
  
• Headlines - A boxed in headline that helps break out sections of a long post
• Images - An image with a special background color

The sky is the limit with content boxes.

And there are multiple ways to create content boxes and buttons.

You can create a box or button with:

• HTML - uses HTML code to create boxes and buttons
• Image - create a button and take a screenshot of it
  
• Page Builder Plugins - Use plugins to add visual elements inside your page or post content

You can find plenty of WordPress plugins for page builders that allow you to easily insert in a content box, a button and many more visual elements.

You can even find them themes that come with page builder plugins included.

However, it is very easy and completely free to use HTML code to create a content box.

HTML Makes Websites

HTML is what makes up your website pages anyway. Why not customize the code?

The reason these plugins exist is because HTML is a coding language and can seem technical. So the plugins make it easy to build elements like content boxes without knowing html or how to code.
