You’re juggling a million things already, and now someone’s telling you, “Oh, you need a website to be legit!” (Ugh, right?) Well, guess what? You can have a website that’s simple, professional, and easy to create without dropping a ton of cash. Enter Google Sites—the no-fuss, budget-friendly hero of websites for solopreneurs like you. Here’s why I always use Google Sites for my clients:

1. It’s Totally Free (No Strings Attached)

Small business budgets are tight—I get it. The beauty of Google Sites is that it’s completely free. No monthly fees, no surprise add-ons. All you need is a Google account (which you probably already have), and you’re set. Don't get me wrong, you still need to purchase a domain name and connect it, but I can do that for you for a really reasonable price. That means more money for the fun stuff, like new products, a marketing boost, or, hey, even a celebratory coffee run.

2. It Plays Nice with Google

If you’re already using Google Workspace (like Gmail, Drive, or Docs), Google Sites feels like an old friend. You can plop in files from Google Drive, embed forms (hello, contact forms!), or even pop in a Google Calendar if you want to show off your availability. Also, because Google wants us to use it, it pushes any Google sites to the top of the search list - naughty, but let's take advantage!

3. It Looks Good on Phones (Because Who Isn’t Scrolling These Days?)

We’re all glued to our phones, and your customers are no different. Luckily, whenever you add something to your Google Site, it automatically makes your website look great on any device. You don’t need to fiddle with settings to make it “mobile-friendly”—it just does it for you.

4. It’s Perfect for Simple Websites

So, don't get me wrong, setting up a big ol' site with a shop and everything does take a while (again though, I do that for you with a designer's perspective AND for a really decent price!) If your website’s main job is to say, “Hey, I exist! Here’s how to contact me!”—Google Sites has you covered. It’s great for showcasing your services, sharing your story, and adding a few nice touches, like a gallery of photos or client testimonials. It’s not about flashy bells and whistles—it’s about giving your business a clean, professional home online.

5. You Can DIY Without the Drama

Google Sites makes it easy to update your website whenever you want. Added a new product? Changed your hours? Want to tweak your About page? You can do it all without calling in a developer. Plus, if you’re collaborating with someone (a partner, assistant, or maybe a designer like me ;) ), you can give them access and work together in real time—just like Google Docs. But, if you're stuck, I'm here to help at only £25 p/h.

6. Your Website, Backed by Google’s Power

Here’s the deal: Google handles all the techy stuff behind the scenes, like hosting and security. That means your site is safe, reliable, and running smoothly without you lifting a finger. Oh, and it’s HTTPS-secure, which is just a fancy way of saying your customers’ data is protected.
