Google Sites · Mountain View, California, USA · founded 1998
What it is
Google Sites is a web tool for creating sites for teams, projects, and events without programming skills. Its drag-and-drop editor places content on an automatic grid that adapts to different devices. Users can begin with premade templates or make custom templates, while collaborators edit together and see changes instantly. Sites can include Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Forms, Charts, YouTube videos, calendars, maps, and Drive files. Owners can embed pages or sections from websites and add HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. Publishing involves choosing a web address and deciding who can view the site; external visitors may access it without a Google Workspace account when sharing permits. Published sites work on computers, phones, and tablets, but editing requires a computer. Google lists Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Safari for viewing. Hosting and custom domains are supported, while site and embedded content count toward Drive storage. A free offering is listed; Google Workspace plans include $7.00, $14.00, and $22.00 per user/month options.
