About our Research
Welcome to the IMT Google Sites Research Lab, a center of excellence dedicated to advancing the possibilities of Google Sites. Under the leadership of Dr. Ava Chen, our team of researchers, designers, and developers is committed to pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with this platform. We explore innovative ways to enhance user experience, optimize integrations with Google Workspace, and harness emerging technologies—such as AI-driven automation—to make Google Sites even more powerful and accessible.
At IMT, we believe that website creation should be effortless yet impactful. Google Sites provides a straightforward, code-free approach to building websites, but there is immense potential to refine, extend, and improve its capabilities. Our research focuses on making Google Sites more adaptable, interactive, and visually compelling—ensuring that individuals and organizations can create websites that truly stand out.
Enhancing User Experience in Google Sites
Enhancing User Experience in Google Sites
One of our primary research areas is user experience (UX). While Google Sites is known for its simplicity, user expectations have evolved—they demand engaging, intuitive, and highly functional web experiences. Through extensive usability testing, analytics research, and user surveys, we identify pain points and areas for improvement in Google Sites templates, navigation structures, and interactive elements. Our goal is to design templates and guidelines that enhance usability while maintaining the core benefits of Google Sites: ease of use, speed, and seamless integration with other Google products.
We also investigate accessibility—ensuring that Google Sites can be used effectively by all individuals, including those with disabilities. Our studies explore how to implement best practices in accessibility (such as WCAG compliance) while still maintaining design flexibility. By prioritizing accessibility, we enable organizations to create inclusive websites that serve diverse audiences.
Integrating Google Sites with Google Workspace
Integrating Google Sites with Google Workspace
Google Sites excels in its seamless integration with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), but there is room for deeper functionality. At IMT, we explore ways to enhance collaboration, automation, and real-time content management within Google Sites. Our research examines how businesses, educational institutions, and research teams can leverage Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Forms, Calendar, and Meet to create dynamic, data-driven websites.
For example, we investigate how organizations can automate content updates by linking Google Sheets to dynamic elements on a website, ensuring that information such as event schedules, project progress, and shared resources update automatically without manual intervention. Additionally, we develop strategies for embedding interactive reports using Google Data Studio, allowing organizations to present analytics and insights directly within their Google Sites pages.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming web development, and we at IMT are exploring its potential within the Google Sites ecosystem. Our research focuses on how AI can simplify and enhance website design, content management, and user engagement. We investigate how machine learning models can analyze user behavior and recommend site improvements, such as optimized layouts, better navigation structures, and personalized content delivery.
Another key area of study is AI-powered chatbots and automation. While Google Sites lacks built-in chatbot functionality, we explore ways to integrate AI-driven customer support, virtual assistants, and automated content curation using external tools and APIs. These innovations allow businesses and institutions to provide instant, intelligent support to their website visitors without requiring advanced coding knowledge.
Developing Cutting-Edge Google Sites Templates
Developing Cutting-Edge Google Sites Templates
At the heart of our research is the development of advanced Google Sites templates that cater to various industries and use cases. We design templates for businesses, research labs, educational institutions, creative portfolios, and more, ensuring they are visually appealing, functionally robust, and optimized for both desktop and mobile users.
Our approach to template development is data-driven—we analyze industry trends, user preferences, and emerging web design standards to create modern, high-performing templates. Each template undergoes rigorous testing to ensure fast loading speeds, responsive design, and seamless integration with Google Workspace tools. Whether it’s a research lab needing an interactive portal or a small business seeking an elegant web presence, our templates provide tailored solutions that empower users to build exceptional websites with minimal effort.
