### "Great for start-ups and easy to use!"

December 3, 2025

5.0

Extremely positive. 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.

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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### " 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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

January 18, 2026

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

### "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 .

### "Google Sites crea sitios web sencilos"

April 29, 2025

3.0

Google Sites no es una mala herramienta, al contrario, puede ser muy util para ciertos proyectos donde solo requieres crear sitios web censillos , sin embargo no lo recomiendo si lo que deseas es crear un sitio web real totalmente funcional y profesional.

Pros

Algo positivo de Google Sites es que ofrece varias funciones que se pueden añadir al sitio web que suelen ser muy utiles, como por ejemplo calendarios, mapas, botones o tablas de contenido.

Cons

lo negativo de Google Sites es que sus temas son pocos y son muy basicos pues, a pesar de cambian algunas fuentes y detalles , realmente no modifican el aspecto general del sitio web de forma significativa.

### "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.

Pros

Google Sites is a very convenient, I know the latter because when I was in sought of a free website builder for a short site, it came to my aid, and I would like to believe that it is a beneficial platform. In addition, it is easy to use, anyone can easily make acquaintance with its interface and with resilience, one could become ab expert in using it.

Cons

Currently, I love everything about Google Sites, but it has limitations. However, remembering that it is a free tool, one ought to be grateful without delay for what it offers.

### "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.

I like the cheap price the most. $12 for a year is so cheap.

Cons

I don't like the fact that it's kinda rigid with the way u can create your website with pre made templates.

Reason for choosing Google Sites

I chose Google Sires because of it's pricing.

### "Easy to develop high qulaity page"

October 17, 2022

4.0

As we integrated general information of the company such as an announcement, a phone extension and etc.., the employees can collect information on thier own withou asking anyone else (Man-hours saving)

Pros

Although you don't have knowledge of the programming skills, you can develope a stylish page including trends these days. Basically all you just have to do is to add layouts, text and images selecting from tool bar.

Cons

I think it is better to improve the "Image carousel" feature because in the current version, it is not possible to insert the link on the image as a standard feature.

### "website Builder for small businesses"

April 29, 2022

4.0

To use google sites we don't have to pay any fees and also we don't have to buy hosting and cloud space.

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.

Pros

Google Sites is a great easy way to put together a simple website at no cost. 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. I have also had issues in the past with people being able to access the URL even if it is a public link and the person is logged in with a Google account.

Cons

The only thing I dislike about Google sites is that there are less customisation options for us and becouse of that we can not make more attractive website.
