Google Sites is a free service that Google offers. It is a really good option for
a website. The service includes free hosting and the option of a free google domain
name. You can also use an existing domain name or you can buy a new domain name either
from Google (the better option) or from another domain name provider.
Google Sites has pre-designed templates or a blank page that you can use to develop
your website. The user interface is quite simple and all you need are basic computer
skills. Though time consuming, the process is not difficult and you can create a
website in a few days. If you would prefer to use your time in other areas, I can
create your Google Sites website for you, the details are below.
The Process For Creating Your Google Sites Website
Step 1
Login to your Google account and choose the 'Sites' option.
Step 2
Choose one of the available templates.
Step 3
Give permission to info@andcwebdesign.com to edit the website.
Step 4
Decide on the pages and menu items you want for your website.
Step 5
Write the text for each page.
Step 6
Choose the images you want to use for each page. (you can use images you already
have or you can get them from a suitable website - I recommend
www.unsplash.com
for good quality free images).
Step 7
Email your text content and images for each page.
Step 8
Once I have completed the website to your satisfaction you can publish your website.
Step 9
The best option for publishing your Google Sites website is by buying a domain name
from Google. This makes the process very straightforward. You can buy the domain
name from another company, but the process from publishing becomes more complex
and requires access to your domain name account manager to change CNAME records
and other elements for your Google site to appear under that domain name. This is
something I can help you with.
