Google Site Setup

'Creating How to set up your own Google Site – The Basics 


If the answers to all 3 of these questions is ‘Yes’, a Google Sites website may be for you….

For a step-by-step guide on how to set one up, and use it, download the guide ('Creating a Google New Sites Website.pdf') from my downloads page.

I’ve based this guide on my own experience of setting up a site over the summer and autumn of 2021, and more recently on advising someone else on how to set up their own site. 

I have tried to produce something that I hope will help complete novices (as I certainly was at the time !) to get started. You'll find plenty of screen dumps to illustrate what you should expect to see at each stage.

Hope you find it useful. The real advantage for anyone on a limited budget is that the webspace is free to use – all you need to spend is a bit of time setting it up....

See also the article on indexing on my google indexing page for a detailed discussion of pros and cons, and some of the limitations.
