Styling a button with hover effect - html

Question

I'm having some issues with my code.
I added this button to my HTML page and CSS with the styling of the button class and the hover effect:
.buton4e {
background-color: #383f95;
border: none;
border-radius: 8px;
color: white;
padding: 7px 16px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
font-weight: bold;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 16px;
}
.buton4e:hover {
background-color: #383f95;
border: none;
border-radius: 8px;
color: white;
padding: 7px 16px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 16px;
box-shadow: 0 12px 16px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24), 0 17px 40px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19);
}
.intro-header {
padding-top: 40px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
text-align: center;
color: #f8f8f8;
background: url(../img/background.jpg) no-repeat center center;
background-size: cover;
}
.intro-message {
position: relative;
padding-top: 20%;
padding-bottom: 20%;
}
.intro-message>h1 {
margin: 0;
text-shadow: 2px 2px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
font-size: 5em;
}
.intro-divider {
width: 400px;
border-top: 1px solid #f8f8f8;
border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
.intro-message>h3 {
text-shadow: 2px 2px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
}
<!-- Header -->
<header class="intro-header">
<div class="container">
<div class="intro-message">
<br /><br /><br />
<h3>90% of IT companies believe they need to partner to grow.<br /> Join <b>Channeliser</b> - the global network for building IT partnerships.</h3>
<hr class="intro-divider">
<button class="buton4e">JOIN FOR FREE</button>
</div>
</div>
</header>
The problem is that the effect works when I hover the button but there when the button is static it has no styling
*EDIT:
Sorry for not posting all the code.
This should be sufficient for the things I'm trying to modify.
Thanks in advance.

.styledButton {
font-family: Arial;
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
color: black;
background-color: grey;
border: 0;
-webkit-transition-duration: 0.3s;
transition-duration: 0.3s;
}
.styledButton:hover {
color: white;
background-color: black;
}
.styledButton:active {
opacity: 0.5;
}
<button class = "styledButton">Click Me!</button>
This should help. Any click animations I have trouble with.
