Letโs talk about arrows.
Not the fancy Font Awesome design kind - I mean the tiny, simple ASCII symbols that actually guide your visitors.Youโve probably wanted to do this a thousand times:โ Add a right arrow to a button so people know it goes somewhereโ Use a left arrow to say โhey, go backโ
โ Hint that a link opens in a new tab
โผ Show thereโs more
Those icons help with clarity, flow, and make your site feel intentional - like everythingโs pointing exactly where it should.So I added a little helper inside SitesBuddy: the Arrows Widget.Itโs basically a scrollable panel full of arrows - classic, funky, directional, ASCII magic.
Copy, paste, done.No more Googling random symbols. No more keyboard acrobatics.
Just the arrow you need, when you need it.
Great For:
โ Guiding Button ActionsAdd a right arrow (โ) inside buttons like โLearn More โโ or โStart Now โโ to clearly signal that the click leads somewhere new. It improves click-through rates with zero extra design effort.
โ Creating Smart NavigationUse left (โ), up (โ), or down (โ) arrows to direct users to previous sections, anchor links, or expandable content. It keeps your site intuitive and interactive.
โ Labeling External LinksUse diagonal arrows (โ) next to links that open in a new tab or lead off-site. It builds trust by setting clear expectations.
โ Designing Expandable ContentPair a down arrow (โผ) with toggles, FAQs, or dropdowns to hint that more info is hidden. Great for keeping pages clean without sacrificing depth.
โ Speeding Up ImplementationNo need to design, import icons, or hunt down character codes. Just open the Arrows Widget in SitesBuddy, copy the symbol you need, and paste it directly into your site.
โ Improving User FlowUse arrows not just as decoration, but as directional cues that help users move through your content effortlessly - from sections to CTAs and beyond.
