Google Sites is a structured wiki and web page-creation tool offered by Google. The revamped version is a brilliant tool to create basic websites, e-portfolios, project websites, and so much more. In this blog post, we will take a deep dive into how to use Google Sites effectively.
Creating a New Site
First things first, you need to create your website. Here’s how to do it:
- Go to https://sites.google.com/new.
- Click on the + icon at the bottom right of the screen to create a new site.
Navigating the Google Sites Interface
The Google Sites interface is divided into three main parts: the Pages panel, the Insert panel and the Themes, Colors, and Fonts panel.
- The Pages panel helps you add, delete, or reorder your site’s pages.
- The Insert panel is where you add content to your site, such as text boxes, images, and embeds.
- Lastly, the Themes, Colors, and Fonts panel lets you customize the look and feel of your site.
Adding Pages and Content
To add a new page, click on the Pages tab and then on the + icon. Then enter the name of the new page. To add content, click on the Insert tab and then select the type of content you want to add (text box, image, etc.).
Publishing Your Site
Once you are happy with your site, you can publish it to the web. Simply click on the Publish button at the top right of the screen. You can choose who can see your site – anyone on the web, or just specific people.
<h1>My First Heading</h1> <p>My first paragraph.</p>
That’s a very basic structure of an HTML site. Just replace the heading and the paragraph to match your preferred content.
