SitesBuddy transforms Google Sites from a basic website builder to a powerful design platform. Our Chrome extension brings professional design tools directly into your Google Sites workflow, making it feel more like working with premium builders - but without losing any of Google Sites' simplicity and reliability.
SitesBuddy works as a sidebar extension next to the Google Sites editor. Once installed, you'll see a SitesBuddy icon in your Chrome browser. When editing your Google Site, click on the icon to open the SitesBuddy panel.
From there, you can:
Browse and insert widgets directly into your Google Site
Access advanced styling tools for text, images, and layout
Use templates and pre-designed sections
The extension enhances Google Sites without changing its core functionality, so you still get all the benefits of Google Sites with added design power.
Yes! SitesBuddy is a Chrome extension that works next to your Google Sites project. You design in the extension, copy the code, and paste it into Google Sites using the "Embed Code" option. It's that simple. No external hosting, no complicated integrations.
No coding knowledge required! SitesBuddy is designed for everyone - from complete beginners to experienced developers. Our visual interface makes it easy to create professional designs without writing a single line of code. If you can use Google Sites, you can use SitesBuddy.
Most widgets can be added and customized in under 2 minutes! Our streamlined process makes it incredibly quick:
Browse and select a widget (30 seconds)
Customize colors, text, and settings (1 minute)
Insert into your Google Site (30 seconds)
Even complex widgets like countdown timers or interactive forms can be set up in just a few minutes without any technical knowledge.
Honestly? About 10 minutes. If you can use Google Sites, you can use SitesBuddy. Most designers are creating beautiful stuff within their first session.
Yes! Our website https://www.sitesbuddy.app/about is the best way to show our capabilities - we use the tools ourselves. You can explore our website to see how we use widgets and also how they transform basic Google Sites beyond their usual limitations.
By browsing through our site, you'll see real-world examples of widgets in action and get a feel for what's possible when you enhance Google Sites with SitesBuddy.
SitesBuddy currently works only on Chrome browsers. We've focused on Chrome to ensure the best possible experience and performance.
If you need SitesBuddy on other browsers like Firefox, Safari, or Edge, please let us know! We're always considering expanding to other browsers based on user demand.
Yes, but you likely already have one! Since Google Sites requires a Gmail/Google account, and Chrome browser also uses Google accounts, most users already have the necessary account to get started with SitesBuddy.
Yes, absolutely! All SitesBuddy widgets are highly customizable. You can adjust colors, fonts, sizes, animations, and many other properties to match your brand's visual identity.
Each widget has its own set of customization options accessible through an intuitive interface. Changes are previewed in real-time so you can perfect your design before embedding to Google Sites.
Yes, you have full control! SitesBuddy widgets give you complete access to customize the CSS code. This means you can:
Modify any visual aspect of the widget
Add custom animations and effects
Override default styling completely
Create unique designs that perfectly match your brand
Use advanced CSS properties for professional customization
Whether you prefer using our visual customization tools or diving into the CSS code directly, SitesBuddy gives you the flexibility to create exactly what you envision.
Embedding your widget follows the standard embed process:
Generate Code: Complete your widget design and click "Copy Code"
Open Google Sites: Go to your site's edit mode
Add Embed Element: Click "Insert" β "Embed" or use the embed icon
Paste Code: Paste the copied HTML code into the embed box
Adjust Size: The widget will auto-adjust to the embedded container size - you can adjust size
Save & Publish: Save your changes and publish to see the live effect
Yes! You can use as many widgets as you need on a single page. Each widget functions independently, so they won't conflict with each other.
For optimal performance, we do recommend being thoughtful about how many widgets (like videos or complex animations) you place on a single page, but this is the same consideration you'd have with any website builder.
Yes! You're welcome to include SitesBuddy widgets in templates that you create and sell. This is actually encouraged because:
Adds Value: Widgets make your templates more functional and attractive to buyers

No Additional Licensing: You don't need special permission to include widgets in your commercial templates
Enhances Templates: Interactive elements like countdown timers, flip cards, and forms make templates stand out
Just remember that while buyers can use the widgets as-is, they would need their own SitesBuddy subscription if they want to customize or add new Pro widgets to their sites.
Nope. Everything you create gets embedded directly into your Google Site as standard HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Even if you cancel SitesBuddy, your existing widgets will keep working perfectly. You just won't be able to create new widgets.
No, quite the opposite! SitesBuddy widgets are designed for maximum performance and actually make your site faster and more reliable than traditional solutions:
No External Dependencies: Our widgets run entirely on your Google Site - no external servers, APIs, or third-party dependencies that could slow down or break your site
Self-Contained: Everything needed for the widget is embedded directly into your site
No Network Delays: Since widgets don't call external services, there are no network delays or timeout issues
This approach ensures your Google Site remains fast, reliable, and fully under your control. Most other widget solutions rely on external servers that can create performance bottlenecks and reliability issues.
