Lets get started coding our Neumorphic button.
Button HTML markup
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Neumorphism Button</title>
</head>
<body class="flex-center">
<button class="neu-shadow">Hello 👋</button>
</body>
</html>Our HTML markup basically consists of body element which has “flex-center” class which we will use in the CSS to center all the content of the body element horizontally and vertically.
Body element contains a single button element on which the “neu-shadow” class is applied.
This class will set the box-shadow for the button element and will give it the neumorphism look as you will see while following along the CSS rules section.
