Custom Responsive Buttons for Google Sites

Interactive β€’ Updated July 2025
Responsive Button Widget

I remember the exact moment I decided to build this widget.

I was putting final touches on a client's Google Site - sleek, modern, custom everything.
Then came time to add the main call-to-action button.

I clicked to add a standard Google Sites button and... ugh.
Basic. Flat. Limited styling options.
It looked completely out of place in this otherwise premium design.

"Can we make the button match our brand colors?" the client asked.
"Can it have that subtle glow effect when people hover?"

With standard Google Sites buttons, the answer was no, no, and definitely no.

Because basic Google Sites buttons just don't cut it sometimes.
Sure, Google Sites gives you buttons - and yeah, they work.
I even use them on this website because they do the job.
But when you want something modern, stylish, and clickable AF, this widget delivers.
