A Look Inside Google Sites

Essentially, if you have a Google Account, you have free and unlimited access to Google Sites. Check out the items below to see exactly what Google Sites can do and how powerful Google Sites can be!
Choose from 6 Themes
Google Sites offers 6 basic themes that can be fully customized to fit your tastes, needs and personality. Fonts, colors, images; everything! can be adjusted however you like.
Insert and Adjust Header Image
With Google Sites you can Insert a Header Image and adjust how it looks: from a standard Banner, Large Banner to a full Cover Image with a "scroll" arrowhead to view the rest of the page. Or you can have no Header Image at all and opt for a Title Only.
Insert Text, Images, Embed and Drive
With Google Sites you can insert Text, upload Images (one or several at a time), Embed another website into your website (if permissions allow) and insert items from Google Drive.
Insert Content Blocks
Google Sites has what they call Content Blocks. Content blocks are a uniform way of formatting images and text together and keeping things nice and tidy.
Insert a Collapsible Group

A Collapsible Group is perfect for Frequently Asked Questions, Menu Items or basically any text that you want available on the web page but maybe not readily visible.

Insert a Button
Buttons are a great addition to any website! If you happen to sell items a Button can take viewers to an "Item Detail" page or even link to another website.
Insert a Divider
The Divider is the simplest of all features. It bascially separates the web page into different sections, perhaps based on topic, color, images - whatever is needed!
Insert a Spacer
