The answer depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re building your first site to generate customer interest and establish a digital presence, Google Sites reviews say it's an ideal starting point because it’s free, easy to use, and naturally integrates with other Google services.

If you’re looking to build a more robust sales or service website, however, you may be better served by more robust site design tools that come with a monthly or yearly cost.

Uploading files to your website is simple: Open your site, select Insert, select the file you want to upload, click Insert again, and then Publish in the top right-hand corner.

Note: Google’s official help page recommends first publishing your file in Docs, Sheets, or Slides before uploading to improve response times.

When you make a Google site, the URL will display as sites.google.com/a/domain/yoursite & while this works for personal pages, you may want a custom URL if you’re planning to use your site for professional activities or product sales.

Step 1: Start by registering your preferred domain with a domain name registrar.

Step 2: Head to the Sites setting of your Admin console and select Custom URL then click Add > Continue and enter your current Google Sites domain.

Step 3: Select Continue again and then enter your custom URL and click Add Custom URL.

Here's how to delete a page on Google Sites:

Step 1: Click Pages on the right-hand side of your site

Step 2: Select More for the page you want to remove and choose Delete.
