Like I’ve said with all website builders – there is no overall “best” – there’s only the best for you considering your budget, time, resources, and goals.Īfter reading the pros of Google Sites – you are probably wondering how Google Sites isn’t the go-to solution for every website.

Since it is fully integrated with your Google Account – it is simple to share & preview. The resulting HTML / CSS product is lean on fast servers and is available worldwide. Like security, Google handles your speed considerations. Īdditionally, Google handles your security issues…since it is one and the same as your email account.

It’s just free due to Google’s crazy innovative business model.Īnd if you are a paying G Suite for Business user, Sites is bundled with your subscription along with all the backups, administrative controls, and guarantees that come with your account.

There are no risks, no upsells, no expiration dates or limits. If you are signed into your personal Google account, you can go to right now and get started. It’s part of Google’s relentless push to keep you signed into your Google account for as much as possible. This is possibly the most compelling part of Google Sites. Google Sites is free with unlimited use, traffic, and websites. I know an eCommerce store owner who started and ran her store for 2 years before she began to look for a new solution (though it took a lot of hacking around with PayPal scripts). It is exactly the same as the free Google Sites, but has different account permissions and generally receives product updates – like custom domain mapping – sooner than the free version.

#GOOGLE WEBSITE BUILDER SOFTWARE#

Ok – this software is the same as the free Google Sites, except that it is built for business subscribers to the Google Workspace (the old Google Apps for Business). You can find links to it throughout Google Sites. It still lives at – and it’s decidedly old school. This is the “classic site” product that I started with years and years ago. You can read a good FAQ of this product here and find it with your business profile. The product is less of a “website builder” than a super-detailed local business listing. You can’t use it unless you have a Google My Business account. This is Google’s website product for small, local businesses. But – you are stuck with the reverse-chronological display of posts. You can do designs, templates, and everything else. Ok – Blogger is an old-school but still surprisingly good blogging platform. When discussing Google’s website builder product, there are really up to 4 products in play.

#GOOGLE WEBSITE BUILDER UPDATE#

Google is notorious for rolling out overlapping & competing with their own products – only to kill or update them after a couple of years. I also wanted to compare Google Sites to other website solutions like hosting your own website or using a hosted eCommerce platform. So for a personal project of mine, I decided to try it out again and see who the product would really be a good fit for – and not just compare it to other hosted website builders. They’ve streamlined it to make it supposedly the “effortless way to create beautiful sites.” You can check out some examples of Google Sites here. And Google has upgraded the “classic Google site” product I originally used. I never used Google Sites for my own projects until I came across it when a client of mine was using it and needed a few tasks done.īut since then, better competition has popped up from:Īnd many other website builders. My experience with Google Sites began back when I first started my web design business years and years ago. I’ve written about getting a Google Domain and using Blogger – but have never looked at using Google Sites for a website specifically. If you have a Google Workplace Account, go check out Google Sites. I’ve always thought of Sites as a Google product like Drawing, and Blogger that sort of come as part of other, well-known product lines but are otherwise forgotten about…yet still awesome in their own way.

Google Sites has never been highly publicized like its other products. Google Sites is Google’s free website builder software that it offers as part of the Google Workplace.
