It's very convenient that I'm able to include my website bundled with all this - both from a billing and administration perspective.The designer is simple to use and produces designs that look clean and are responsive.Publishing is as easy as clicking a button and you can work on large updates in staging before pushing them live. > > **Cons**: The designer is very restrictive, meaning there is little opportunity to move outside of the provided template. I've also worked with Squarespace in the past, which provides a lot more customization and power (but is much more expensive too).There's a pretty limited set of widgets you can use (photo carousels, etc.). All the main ones are there, but I have found myself often settling for something not quite ideal. Even customizing backgrounds on the sections is oddly limited, you can really only select a background image to use.I haven't worked with a team on my small business site (just me making updates), but I used to work on a very large website for a past employer. I don't think the system would work well from a version control perspective, so do your research if you're thinking about having more than one person work on a site. > > Overall it's been a perfect fit for my small business to get a simple site setup. I suspect I'll outgrow it at some point and move to something like Squarespace. ----- ### "Incredible value and professional look" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *28 June 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google sites is the perfect tool for new businesses to maintain an online presence. Its themes and easy integration with custom domains make it easy and affordable to have a professional online footprint > > **Cons**: While google sites has excellent landing and information pages, it lacks more powerful ecommerce, blogging, and layout tools. ----- ### "Good with chance to be better" — 3.0/5 > **Ziggy** | *5 March 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s ease of setup is really good, simple for even beginners to use and does not require any coding. > > **Cons**: You can embed however it is on a fixed position on the site, not like an overlay. For example if you want to add a support chat button it would have to be on a fixed position on the page, not hovering in the ie bottom right like some sites. > > Good, but could be better with newer features. ----- ### "A great option for the non-technical who just need basic features" — 4.0/5 > **Gary** | *15 February 2023* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really love how easy it is to edit and publish pages and sites with Google Sites. Google Sites has a good variety of templates and themes to choose from and the drag-and-drop interface makes editing simple even for those who know nothing about CMSs or web development. The content blocks, Google services integrations, and simple, easy-to-use interface is what makes Google Sites shine. Also, the integration with Google Domains makes it easy to set up a custom domain for your site if you need one. > > **Cons**: Google Sites is pretty capable for what it is, but lacks a lot of features that pros need to adequately customize their sites. The lack of support for things like HTML editing, scripts, and third-party integrations makes customization a challenge and hampers the ability for Google Sites to be used on a professional basis. Sites also lacks some really important features like contact forms, password-protected pages, and blog functionality. > > Overall, I am very happy with Sites and think it is a great tool for building basic web pages. While it does lack some of the features that the bigger website builders like Wix and Squarespace have, it also lacks the big price tag those services have. I think Sites is the perfect tool for building basic websites for small businesses, classes, and clubs, but would struggle to handle the needs of bigger more established businesses. For us, we primarily use Sites to build internal pages, so it meets our needs well. ----- ### "Anyone can design a web page" — 4.0/5 > **César** | *23 May 2022* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about Google Sites is how easy it is to create web pages anyone can make one, without the need to know how to program or anything. It has the necessary tools to create a web page, which allows it to have a spotless and intuitive interface. Also, the integration with the entire Google ecosystem is excellent, especially with Google Drive. Sites is a very useful and well-thought-out program. > > **Cons**: The bad thing is that it has few tools, it is a very simple program, but that harms the personalization of web pages. You need better quality templates. > > In general, my experience with Sites has been very good, it is a very easy-to-use service that anyone can use, and the creation of the website is fast and intuitive. Google integration is great, you can use a great free domain. In general, if you want to create a web page, Google Sites should be an option to consider. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/501591/Google-Sites?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/501591/Google-Sites) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
