Google Sites Pros and Cons
Google Sites Pros and Cons
Embedded Files
Google Sites is Google's website building tool and is a part of the Google Workspace which is a free and excellent solution to manage your business. With tools like Google Sites, Blogger, Google Business, Google Analytics and Google Maps, you can elevate your brand, boost your income and manage your business, all for practically free. Other drag and drop website builders offer higher functionality than Google sites but you'll be hooked on a monthly subscription which to be honest, is discomforting. This is where Google Sites shines.

I bought my domain name and began to work on setting up a website. I had little funds and I wanted to build one myself. After struggling with HTML, CSS and Wordpress, I realised that I needed something simpler that could also feature a blog. I discovered Google Sites a little while later, started using it so that I can maintain my brand guidelines across all my websites. I considered using other services but decided to settle with Google Sites, and I'm glad I did, this website was built using Google Sites.
These are some beautifully designed Google Sites that inspired me on this journey:
