The default “Write a Review” text on Elfsight uses proper caps, meaning only the first letter of each word is capitalized. That works fine in most cases, but if your website uses ALL CAPS for buttons or calls to action, this one button can look out of place.
Keeping button styles consistent across your site helps everything feel more polished and professional. To make that easier, check out the slider presentation below to see how to update the text style in Elfsight so it matches the rest of your site's established branding.
