Joomla vs Google Sites: Which is a better fit?

I have been with Joomla since V1.0 and it has been a great Journey - I have never left it becuse it has proven to be a great solution for all my Projects.

Anthony A

Product Manager

Whenever I've deployed a Joomla site, it inevitably gets infested by spammers and there's been instances where sites have gotten hacked.

William W

Consulting Services Manager

A stable and reliable CMS with two-factor authentication and good security features. A full community of developers that offer extensions for nearly any function or integrations you can imagine.

I have experienced quite some problems placing upgrades. Expecially when an update failed (because of the database version for example), the site became unusable.

Assistant To The Director

I was seeking for a powerful software, one which builds any kind of website or blogs, a flexible one as well with vast templets for superb customization. Well, I do not dispute this software at all.

Ryan R

Marketing Director

Things we required to run our websites began to break with new releases, and the support was no longer there. It was frustrating, but necessary, to move to something more widely adopted.

A huge base of plugins and extensions, including free ones. Open source, with a great community, which is open to help you with the issue you can face along the way.

AutoCad Satisfaction

What I don't like is that sometimes compatibility errors occur when installing plugins simultaneously.

This is really an easy site tool that will help you in many missions - like your Playbooks, internal product sites, or training missions. Super easy to setup and update.

No site categories,description or site map which is the main limiting factor and no embedding of your site to other sites which gives you extra work.

My overall experience with Google sites is good. I think Google sites is best suited for small business owners or shop owners who just want a good website at reasonable price for their business.

It's really limited, there isn't a lot you can do besides adding text, images, documents (only google ones) and videos. The design layouts are really limited too.

Overall, I would highly recommend Google sites. It is the best free website builder online and integrates seamlessly with other google products and services.

Joel J

Quality Coordinator Engineer

There are no many designing options and templates and the website looks unpersonalised.

We love the fact that it's so easy to use and deploy. Real-time editing, integration with other google products, the ability to use advanced functionality.

Layout and customization is understandably quite limited.
