Google Sites

In this blog post, I am going to talk about "Google Sites". Google Sites is any easy way to create and share webpages. Google describes creating a team or website to be as easy as as editing a document. Google Sites allows you to gather information, videos, calendars, attachments, and presentations all in one place. It then allows you to easily share any of it with a group or organization. If you decide that this is something that you would be interested in you can visit https://support.google.com/a/topic/14075?en&ref_topic=9197.

Google Sites key product features:

  • Customize your site's interface
  • Create a new sub-page with the click of a button
  • Choose different page types, such as webpage
  • Centralize shared information, embed content into any page
  • Manage permission settings to keep your site as private or as view-able as you would like
  • Search across your Google Sites content with Google search technology



When visiting Google Sites, it gives you links under Overview, Setup, and Options. The links under Overview describe what Google Sites is all about in more detail, what is required for a Google Site, and any support for it. The links under the Setup heading will allow you to turn sites on or off for users, set sharing options, restrict access to new sites, change default visibility, and turn on commenting. Lastly, some of the links under are Options are manage gadget access, edit sites at your domain, change a site URL, manage page templates, create an external website, and improve site performance. I did not describe any of theses links under the three subheadings so if you want to learn more about Google Sites, how to set it up and how it works, visit the link from the last paragraph! Google Sites also gives you the option to use a 30 day free trial. So if you think that Google Sites could help you, you can try it for 30 free days and then decide if it is really worth paying for.
