Google Sites is a free website builder offered by Google that allows anyone to build and launch a stunning website with just a few drags and clicks. You can create your own website with an internet connection and a Google account. Google Sites also provides templates for non-techies with zero coding and design experience.
Let’s learn how to build a website with these simple steps:
To add content to your Google site, follow these steps:
At the top-left of the header, you’ll find a field that says “Enter site name.” The name you enter here will be displayed on your website. You also have the option to add a logo by clicking the “Edit logo” button. It appears small when you hover your mouse over the site name.
In the lower-left of the header section, you have options to edit your background. Choose “Images” to add a background image and select the header type.
Click the “Themes” tab at the top of the menu on the right to customize your Google site’s design. Each theme offers a few preset color schemes and fonts.
The pages you add will appear in the right “Pages” menu, and the name of each page will be displayed in the top navigation. Click “More” for a page, and select “Hide from the navigation” to hide the page from the navigation. You can also delete the page by clicking “Delete” from the same drop-down menu.
Note: When you delete a page, its attachments, comments, and sub-pages will also be deleted.
To preview and publish your site, follow these steps:
Tip: You can set up a custom URL for your Google Site through the “Settings” > “Custom domains” option. You can also use your existing web address. However, you will need to change the address or permanently delete the existing site if the web address is currently in use or has been used in the past for a site you own.
Congratulations! You have successfully created your own website!
