Great tip! I was able to create a button that is readable. (The text on the built-in Google Sites button is 11 point and cannot be increased, with a color scheme of black on olive green (my site's theme colors). Using Canva, I made a rounded green shape with white text in a large font, saved the image and added to my Google Site with a link.

With a customer banner ,its much easier to add the text "Welcome" within google sites not within the banner text will resize and stay center when in mobile. You can change the anchor position of your image to show the parts you need. Top bottom, right , left etc . When using buttons allow small margin, padding to all sides of your images before saving to avoid clipping.

Thanks for watching and commenting. If you clicking the settings cog to left of the header, you can change the navigation to "top" or "side." At this time, if you have the navigation set to the "top," it will automatically go to the left-hand side. Google is always making updates though so maybe this is something they will update in the future.

You could provide a link on the site where students can go to upload the work through Google Classroom. Then, they would only need to click and would be take immediately taken to where they can upload the assignment.
