Do you want to be the cool kid? Then you should pimp your links with CSS transform.

Before we start...

I use prefixfree to avoid the vendor prefix hell... so should you!

Here we go

Prepare the link

To enable transform on a link, we need to change it into a transformable element

a {
  display:inline-block;
}

Apply the transforms

.scale a:active {
  transform: scale(.85);
}

.rotate a:active {
  transform: rotateY(180deg);
}

.skew a:active {
  transform: skewX(30deg);
}

.translate a:active {
  transform: translateY(.25em);
}

.mixed a:active {
  transform: scale(.85) rotateY(180deg) skewX(30deg) translateY(.25em);
}
