## Reviews

### "Great for start-ups and easy to use\!" — 5.0/5

> **Breanna** | *3 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I needed to make a basic website to start my non-profit. This was amazing to start a business with because it was free, so excellent value. I had no need for customer support because everything was easy to use and self-explanatory. I chose a basic template and got to work. The website loads quickly and works perfectly. One day once I'm making more money i'd be happy to pay for a real domain name.
> 
> **Cons**: Honestly, found it very easy to use and amazing value (free). Maybe Google could advertise more that it has so many great free features.
> 
> Extremely positive. I would recommend it to anyone who is starting from scratch or just wants a nice website to start a club or anything.

### "Brilliant for live documents and dynamic slides. Not great for websites." — 5.0/5

> **Lawrence** | *17 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google Sites is the most robust and easy to use 'page builder' tool on the market. You can go from zero to an acceptable level website in minutes.
> 
> **Cons**: The name site is a bit of a stretch. I have tried building a few full websites with Google Sites and there are a few things lacking like good styling, mobile responsiveness and contact forms. It's a good page-builder or non-linear document, but not a website.
> 
> It cannot deliver a visually impressive website in the same way that competitors like SquareSpace or WordPress can, but it's brilliant for presenting information online. Think of it like a dynamic slide deck rather than a website.

### "A Little Clunky but Great for Price (Free\!\!)" — 3.0/5

> **Brie Danielle** | *26 November 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is FREE\! 
Themes are easy to set up, edit and use. 
There are premade templates which are easy to edit.
Pages Module very easy to navigate and use.
Settings very easy to navigate. 
There are lots of options for adding content 
Easy to publish
> 
> **Cons**: It is clunky, meaning doesn't flow very well and getting some content where you may want to put, will either be very difficult or not possible.
Settings aren't very customizable. 
Placing pictures to display exactly what you want is very clunky and hard to do and sometimes not possible.
> 
> This is actually a very good program, especially for people who don't know how to build a website or need something simple.  There are some great templates that are easy to edit and a lot of options for placing content.  However, it is very clunky, not as customizable as I would like and hard to get content exactly where you want it and to display exactly how you want it to.

### "Simple and Easy site builder" — 4.0/5

> **Avi** | *25 March 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its free and easy to make a simple site that looks nice
> 
> **Cons**: You are very limited when it comes to custom features, SEO integration, exporting site to a different platform.
> 
> Overall, it is really easy to creste a website that looks nice and runs well... but if you want to do anything fancy, you cannot.

### "Perfect for my small business's online needs\!" — 5.0/5

> **Samantha** | *24 November 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Google sites was a humongous help in my quest to launch an online presence for my small cleaning business. It is also one of the more affordable options that I found.
> 
> **Cons**: I had a a few minor difficulties while attempting to learn how to navigate the website builder. To be completely fair, this difficulty could be caused purely by my lack of experience in graphic design, though. I did eventually figure it all out.
> 
> Overall, I have no complaints. Google sites absolutely helped get the job done\! If I were to launch a new site, I'm sure I could now do so within a reasonable timeframe, too\!
