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.

Pros It’s ease of setup is really good, simple for even beginners to use and does not require any coding. Cons You can embed however it is on a fixed position on the site, not like an overlay. For example if you want to add a support chat button it would have to be on a fixed position on the page, not hovering in the ie bottom right like some sites. Review Source TH Trinity H. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and User-Friendly Website Builder for Everyday Use" May 3, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Google Sites has been very positive. It’s a reliable and efficient tool for creating simple, clean websites quickly. It works especially well for schools, small projects, or internal team use. While it may not have advanced features, its ease of use and integration with Google Workspace make it a great option for users who need something straightforward and functional. Pros Google Sites is very easy to use, even for beginners with no web design experience. The drag-and-drop interface makes it simple to build and update pages quickly. I really like how seamlessly it integrates with other Google tools like Drive, Docs, Forms, and YouTube, which makes adding content effortless. It’s also great for collaboration, allowing multiple users to edit and manage a site in real time. Cons The customization options are somewhat limited compared to other website builders. Design flexibility is restricted, and it can be difficult to create a truly unique or advanced-looking site. There are also fewer templates and layout options available. For more complex websites or features like e-commerce or advanced analytics, Google Sites may not be the best fit. 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.

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 SM Sakshi M. Digital Marketing Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### " The easy to use website builder that gets work done in no time." 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 JC Jessica C. Customer Relations Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy customer information sharing pages." 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 LM Lorenzo M. owner Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My Experience with Google Sites" June 7, 2026 5.0 It has helped me learn how to design a website and how to use existing pre-made templates to create custom websites. Pros No coding is required to use Google Sites; it only involves writing, arranging, and editing, which makes web design easy and user-friendly. Cons Surely, I have no dislikes about Google Sites because it is very easy to set up and use for web design. 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 FS Filip S. Education cordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for small projects and learning web design" February 14, 2024 3.0 Great tool from google for people trying to understand website design for the first time. Website can be created fast from templates but is missing that "professional " feel. Pros With bunch of templates for website it is easy to develop your site that looks ok and does not required coding skills. Cons Still can not be used for bigger website project and blogging. It is missing additional plugins for specific use. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Still use wordpress for better design and use of specific plugins.

Pros Lo que me gusta de Google Sites es que al poder acceder con tu cuenta de gmail no necesitas hacer ningun registro adicional, ademas de que se integra con otros servicios de google para complementar Cons Lo malo de Google Sites es que carece de opciones significativas para personalizar tu sitio web, no tiene animaciones ni opciones avanzadas de formato 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 AE Angelina E. clerical Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Angelina's review" May 8, 2025 5.0 I have had a great experience, I would even enjoy just using it in my free time to create cool concepts!

Overall, it has been the ideal fit for my small business. Pros outstanding service. What I liked about it the most is:- Easily adjust every detail- Perfect synergy with Google Drive Cons Excellent service, but it's important to focus on certain aspects, like:- There isn't a mobile-compatible version available.- There aren't many pre-made templates available. Alternatives considered [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reason for choosing Google Sites Inexpensive and easy to use 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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Talent Acquisition Partner Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Basic site making software" January 10, 2023 3.0 Pros It's fairly simple to learn and use. I didn't need any external training to pick it up. Cons It's a very basic site building software, so it can be frustrating at times when you want to do more complicated tasks but are hindered by the software limitations. Review Source JM Joshua M. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple Site-Building Tool" May 21, 2024 4.0 Google Sites is so approachable and accessible to web designers of all experience levels. I have really enjoyed using it in my classroom to introduce web design and digital publishing of content. The integration of other Google products in the Sites layout is also a plus! Pros Google Sites impact lies in its ease of use. Those completely unfamiliar with site construction and layouts will find it a bit complicated at first, but the learning curve is very low. Once users dabble a bit into the features and experiment with the designs, Google Sites is very easy to use. It's a great way to introduce web design and to create an inexpensive (even free) simple site. Cons Google Sites isn't anything flashy, and that's okay. There's little to complain about here; Google Sites isn't designed to be the top-of-the-line web design tool. As long as a user is willing to play around a bit and put more than a few minutes in, Google Sites is a great tool for all web designers. Review Source NiN N i N.

Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Google Sites Review" August 29, 2022 4.0 I found google sites easy to use for simple websites but it can't be used for dynamic websites with databses and complex features.

Cons Google Sites Cons : Unfortunately, google sites offers a limited design features plus it's not good for dynamic websites. Review Source KM Kytheranialynn M.

Pros Google providing more innovative ways for us to communicate and deliver content to our staff. We are excited for our staff to see content in a new way that is more interactive and pushes them to review the content. Cons The editing is a bit difficult, along with formatting at times. Would love to see some updates when editing for it to not shift the font completely when accepting a word or sentence suggestion. Review Source RW Ronald W.

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. There's not much customization that can be done but for a free site builder, it isn't too bad. Review Source JM Joel M.

But don't use it for professional companies or projects because it's unprofessional Pros It's free, it's easy and it's quick. That's the best review you will get about Google Sites. This is the perfect tool for designing your landing page for your personal website (not professional unless you spend some hours on editing) or your landing website just asking for contact.
