NEW Google Sites

Get started with Google Sites

Chrome Browser is highly recommended. 

1. Go to: sites.google.com/new

2. Create a New Site

Best Practices

1. All icons & Logos can be found here: EUSD Websites–Icons & Buttons

2. Build your site with the mobile device viewer in mind

3. Copyright - Use original photos (media releases if there are students in them)

4. ADA compliance

   1. 1. Color contrast (New Google Sites does this automatically.)

      2. Must use ALT TEXT with images

         1. Provides screen readers with a description of the image

         2. Should be natural language to describe the image

            1. Good: puppy

            2. Better: Dalmatian puppy playing fetch

         3. http://wave.webaim.org/ Use this to check your site.
