A well-placed WhatsApp button lowers barriers in the application process. This guide summarizes design rules and ideal placements so that more visitors use the quick path via WhatsApp.

Why a WhatsApp Button?

• Low barrier to entry: Getting in touch via WhatsApp is quick and familiar.
• More visibility: The button makes the channel instantly recognizable.
• Higher conversion: A direct path without forms increases interactions.

Ideal Button Design

• Use the WhatsApp logo as a graphic.
• Include the word "WhatsApp" in the button text, e.g. "Apply with WhatsApp".
• Green button color for high recognition value.

Floater for Additional Visibility
