Google Sites

Review:

Ideal for users looking to create a simple, straightforward website, Google Sites is equipped with great customization options, an easy-to-use drag-and-drop editor, and various Google integrations. The platform is also completely free to use and is part of the Google Workspace suite, giving anyone with a Google account access to the site.

However, the platform is not suitable for running an ecommerce website and offers no additional site-building services, such as a custom domain connection, SEO tools, AI-powered content and text creation, malware scanning, and social selling. As such, users may be better served by competitors with a free plan, such as Wix.

Pros:

• It is completely free to create and manage a website on Google Sites.
• Users can easily add images, change fonts, and rearrange elements with the drag-and-drop tool.
• The platform integrates seamlessly with other Google applications, allowing users to add contact forms, charts, and maps.
• The publishing process is quick and easy, allowing users' websites to be up and running within seconds.
• There are several ready-made website templates to choose from.
• Changes are automatically saved in Google Drive.
• Users can connect their site to Google Analytics to track insights and metrics on usage.
• The site allows for real time co-editing to make collaboration easier.

Cons:

• Google Sites is quite basic and is not suitable for users in search of comprehensive website-building tools.
• The site does not allow users to connect a custom domain to their site.
• There are no ecommerce functionalities available.
• Google Sites is not available as a mobile app.
• The platform lacks robust design templates, website security features, and SEO tools.
