About Google Sites

Google Sites is a basic website builder included with every Google account and with Google Workspace. You pick a template, add text, images and sections, and embed Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Maps and YouTube directly. Sharing works like other Google files: you can invite co-editors and publish to everyone or only to your organisation. That makes it a common choice for intranet pages, project hubs, school and class sites, and simple event pages. It is free to use, and you can connect a custom domain. The limits are significant for anything public-facing: few design options, no blog engine, no store, minimal SEO controls and no plugin ecosystem. It runs in the browser only. Pick it when collaboration and zero cost matter more than how the site looks.

Best for: Teams, schools and clubs that need a quick shared site embedding Google files.
