Sites
Google Sites is a tool that helps you to build websites quickly and easily with no experience of making one before. It recently had an update so the new Google Sites is simple and fast to use, utilising a simple drag and drop feature and an easy upload capability, making it really fast to add videos and files to your webpage. This website was built using it and it is very intuitive on how to add a page, text or additional image. It also has a range of themes to make your website stand out.
- For the exam you are expected to be able to:
- Understand how to name your site
- Add additional pages and subpages
- Add text and images and move them around your site
- Embed a video, map or doc into your site
- Change the theme, colour of layout of your site or add an image to your theme
