I would recommend it to anyone who is starting from scratch or just wants a nice website to start a club or anything. Pros I needed to make a basic website to start my non-profit. This was amazing to start a business with because it was free, so excellent value. I had no need for customer support because everything was easy to use and self-explanatory. I chose a basic template and got to work. The website loads quickly and works perfectly. One day once I'm making more money i'd be happy to pay for a real domain name. Cons Honestly, found it very easy to use and amazing value (free). Maybe Google could advertise more that it has so many great free features. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Google Sites It was free and simple and easy to use. I also already use google products and so I was familiar with the interface. Not intimidating. Review Source LA Lawrence A. Strategy and Innovation Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Brilliant for live documents and dynamic slides. Not great for websites. " July 17, 2025 5.0 It cannot deliver a visually impressive website in the same way that competitors like SquareSpace or WordPress can, but it's brilliant for presenting information online. Think of it like a dynamic slide deck rather than a website. Pros Google Sites is the most robust and easy to use 'page builder' tool on the market. You can go from zero to an acceptable level website in minutes. Cons The name site is a bit of a stretch. I have tried building a few full websites with Google Sites and there are a few things lacking like good styling, mobile responsiveness and contact forms. It's a good page-builder or non-linear document, but not a website. Switched from [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) I switched from SquareSpace because I wanted an easy, cheap, online information hub and SquareSpace was too expensive for that job.

April 22, 2026 5.0 We at Digital Fruits need in some cases fast landing pages or internal project hubs without needing to call a developer. Google Sites consistently fills that space at no additional cost. Page layouts are spartan, however they work well enough for internal marketing as speed matters more than polish. Pros Usually, it takes me zero time to spin up an internal campaign microsite or client-facing page. There is so much ease of use I get in return for how quickly I need things live, this really is second to none. Cons Templates feel outdated and restrictive in creativity. I am a marketing specialist and in this role, I often find myself working frowned upon by the design constraints rather than with them. Review Source BDM Brie Danielle M. Chief Chaos Wrangler Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Little Clunky but Great for Price (Free!!)" November 26, 2024 3.0 This is actually a very good program, especially for people who don't know how to build a website or need something simple. There are some great templates that are easy to edit and a lot of options for placing content. However, it is very clunky, not as customizable as I would like and hard to get content exactly where you want it and to display exactly how you want it to. Pros It is FREE! Themes are easy to set up, edit and use. There are premade templates which are easy to edit. Pages Module very easy to navigate and use. Settings very easy to navigate. There are lots of options for adding content Easy to publish Cons It is clunky, meaning doesn't flow very well and getting some content where you may want to put, will either be very difficult or not possible. Settings aren't very customizable. Placing pictures to display exactly what you want is very clunky and hard to do and sometimes not possible. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reason for choosing Google Sites Because it was included in my Google Workspace, at no additional cost. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use Google Sites " January 18, 2026 5.0 Overall I like google sites because it meets my basic needs for cheap amount of money I spend and you can customize the site. Pros We use google sites to host our important documentation and setup documents, you can use the template to create your content and it is very fast ti create content. Cons The user interface is a little old compare to other product, if google can add more features to it, that will be good Review Source AP Avi P. DevOps and IT Team Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and Easy site builder" March 25, 2025 4.0 Overall, it is really easy to creste a website that looks nice and runs well... but if you want to do anything fancy, you cannot. Pros Its free and easy to make a simple site that looks nice Cons You are very limited when it comes to custom features, SEO integration, exporting site to a different platform. Alternatives considered [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/)[GoDaddy Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/182500/GoDaddy-Website-Builder/) Reason for choosing Google Sites Google sites is free to use and achieves exactly what I need. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) For a simple landing page and another site with 3 pages, Google Sites was a great solution that is free to host and much simpler than wordpress. Review Source SB Samantha B. Owner-Operator Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect for my small business's online needs!" November 24, 2025 5.0 Overall, I have no complaints. Google sites absolutely helped get the job done! If I were to launch a new site, I'm sure I could now do so within a reasonable timeframe, too! Pros Google sites was a humongous help in my quest to launch an online presence for my small cleaning business. It is also one of the more affordable options that I found. Cons I had a a few minor difficulties while attempting to learn how to navigate the website builder. To be completely fair, this difficulty could be caused purely by my lack of experience in graphic design, though. I did eventually figure it all out. Alternatives considered [GoDaddy Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/182500/GoDaddy-Website-Builder/) Reason for choosing Google Sites I chose google sites over godaddy because of its preferable pricing.

December 17, 2025 5.0 Google Sites has provided me with a fast method of publishing internal FAQ and small facing pages to customers without having to wait on a developer or a designer each time. Pros I appreciate the speed with which I can spin a small portal containing FAQs or updates, and then send one link to customers or the team. Cons I do not like the lack of customization of the design, the pages are sometimes a bit plain and cannot give the level of service experience that I want to project. Review Source SG Shea G. Counselor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product for small business" April 20, 2026 5.0 Google sites allows me to create a professional website. Whether I'm looking to provide a homepage for patients to utilize as part of my practice, a space for linking resources, or anything else, it is able to accomodate. Pros Google Sites allows me to set up and update a website for my small business with ease. There are templates I can follow which helps in creating a site that has intuitive page layout and navigation. It provides significant value for the money. I've had no problems with performance and speed of Google Sites so haven't needed to contact their customer support, but I'm sure it is as high quality as the product! Cons The templates definitely feel like 'this website was made from a template,' however, I don't know that this is a bad thing . Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Google Sites Review" October 21, 2025 4.0 Overall my experience with Google Sites has been incredible. Great platform that can be used in multiple contexts. Pros It is incredibly easy to use google sites to make a website. The options available to use are incredibly intuitive. It is very fast to publish the website once I have made it. Cons I don't see an option to connect the sites to a domain to be able to get a fully working website that is also findable online. This would make the platform much better. Review Source PF Paula F.

Pros Son varias las caracteristicas que me gustan de google sites, ademas de que es gratuito, me permite conectar mi propio dominio sin costo alguno, y se integra perfectamente con los otros productos de google lo cual facilita la colaboracion con otros. Cons En los aspectos negativos de google sites se encuentran principalmente sus limetaciones en cuanto al editor y sus plantillas pues tienen pocas opciones de personalizacion para cambiar la apariencia de los sitios web.

It's also a good tool for making internal websites to store business documents. Cons The main con would be the limited functionality of the product.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Strategy and Operations E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Even for Sales Enablement? Yes! Google Sites helps in any mission!" June 27, 2022 5.0 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. Everything seems that was done by a pro. Pros Easy to setup and share. Real time updates like no other. You can create sites, in special internal, and put it running with many features and resources combined with Google Tech Stack like Google Workspace. Cons Poor templates. Could have a better site link alias to make things easy. But not a bit issue. Reason for choosing Google Sites Choose Google Sites instead internal development because everything is fast and in my hands. Cost goes down, updates super fast. No need to put in the designers queue for everything. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sites - The Perfect Addition to Workspace" May 15, 2023 4.0 Overall, if you use Google Workspace as a whole, then Sites will work GREAT in your organization. It seamlessly flows with all other Workspace products and is easy to use / manage. Pros The biggest pro of Google Sites is the ease and usability of the product. This product has a set limit of possibilities in terms of structure, and capabilities -which makes onboarding very easy. Additionally, the ease at which it connects to other Google Workspace platforms like Docs, Forms and Sheets is extremely seamless. You can easily link and display other Workspace documents. Cons If you are a more experienced user hoping to have more control over the design of your site, then this product may be too simple. There is currently no "advance user" functions that allow a user to add their own formatting via HTML, etc. You have to be okay with the set template options. Review Source Sayma B. It Technician Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Only great for a very simple website" April 1, 2024 3.0 It's really good if you want a quick website which does very basic and simple things. Wouldn't recommend for a more advanced website. Pros It's really easy to use. It's great for non-coders as you can drag and drop things onto the website and it's there. Cons 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. It's not really customisable as a result.

Pros Google sites are helping small businesses in creating a simple website for themselves. I sometimes help some restaurants to build a basic website using google sites to showcase their menu, contact details, and other important details. Cons Making a website is easy but because of the less customization option, most of the sites build on google sites look somewhat similar to eachother.

It is useful for sharing basic information to your audience. Cons It is difficult to get a fully customized look with Google Sites as all pages are in their basic template.
