A few years ago Google sites launched a new version of google sites, which came with some features that were lacked in the older version. 

These features were only available to G suites users at that time but now open to anyone. With Google Sites, you can set up a website quickly and even connect a custom domain without worrying about hosting and other related issues.

Getting Started

Review of google sites


To get started with google sites all you need to do is visit sites.google.com/new on your web browser, This would take you directly to the new version of google sites.

You can literally start setting up your websites immediately it's that simple.

I like to google sites because it seamlessly connects with other Google products like Docs, forms, youtube, etc. so it makes life easy when working.

However, with all these said about google sites it still has limitations. Everything would be discussed in the review of google sites article.

So let's consider the following aspects of google sites.

1. Templates

2. Features

3. Ease of use

4. Pricing

Templates

Review of google sites


This is very important for any website builder, as it helps the user to customize a website easily without starting from scratch. 

But unfortunately, google sites lack enough templates as there are just nine templates available. You have the freedom to customize any of the templates to match what you want to use them for.

I like about the templates: the ease of use and the ability to play around with fonts, colors, etc.

Features

This is one aspect that has many cons. Google sites lack some basic features which could have made it even better.

One notable feature it lacks that could have made it a jam for me is SEO tools, also, there is no much integration with other third-party apps with google sites, but you can easily integrate it with other Google apps. 

Adding documents from your drive is simple and very useful when working with google sites as well.

Searching for images or videos is made easy as well within the platform, you can easily embed youtube videos, or even add images just with a few clicks within the platform. 

What's so cool is that you can collaborate with others while working on google sites, it's so easy and works seamlessly. You can provide editing access to your team members. 

Another fantastic feature I like on google sites is the ability to add an announcement bar on your site. You have the option to place it sitewide or on a single page. This is a very good feature.

You can easily customize the text and colors of the banner it's a very cool way of directing your visitors to a resourceful page on your website. 

Ease of use

Google is very good at understanding users' needs, and google sites happen to be one of google's products, so the platform is user-friendly.

Google sites are straightforward and very easy to use. Like other Google products, it has an autosave which is very helpful while designing your site. 

You can easily drag and drop layouts. In general google, sites is very easy to use.

Note: This could be because the platform lacks a lot of features. But it's still a good choice.

Pricing

With all the features, ease of use, templates, etc. Google sites come at the best price which is free. Anyone with a Google account can easily jump to google sites and start building websites for free.
