Why should you use Google Sites?
- Google Sites is free.
- Google Sites' new drag-and-drop interface is easy to use.
- Google Sites is responsive. Your site will display well on all devices.
- Google Sites is collaborative. You can share your website with other people, who can edit it remotely and in real time.
- Your Google Site can be visible to everyone on the web or you can restrict access to your friends, family, students, club members or colleagues.
- Register your unique domain name at Google Domains and easily map it to your new website.
- Google Sites is a Google product so it's easy to connect to your Google Drive and embed projects you created with Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Forms, Google Slides, Google Sheets, Google Earth, Google Tours, and Google Drawings.
- Google Sites is dynamic, adding new features all the time, like image carousels and collapsible text.
Image Carousels
One of the newest features of Google Sites is the image carousel. Add captions and alt text to improve the accessibility of your website. You can set the carousel to advance manually or auto start and control the speed.

I'm a Google Certified Educator, not a web designer.
I would rather teach you how to build your own website than do it for you. I will take you through the steps of building your new website with Google Sites.
Tell me about the website you would like to build. I'll tell you if Google Sites is the right platform for you.
I live in Portland, Oregon. But you don't have to. We can work together remotely from anywhere in the world, using Zoom.
Start building your new website today!
