Let's dive in. Starting with a clear structure. Tip number 1 is to start with a clear structure

Before you begin adding content, plan out the structure of your site

Think about the pages you need and how they should be organized

Think about the pages you need and how they should be added into your website

For example, if you go directly into Google Sites, you can see in the top left how you have the pages

You have the home. But let's say for example that I'm willing to add information I want to go about videos

So go for videos only. Then later on, it doesn't matter if this is an actual blank page

You can organize them later. You can start to fill them up later on

First of all, what I'm going to do is to organize them. So I have videos

Then I have blogs. Later I have the contact us. And lastly, let's say that I wanted to go for our Shopify stores, for example

So this is a website about ourselves. We have already added here to the upper side, home

We have videos, blogs, contact us about the Shopify store. And then later on, you can move on to the next step, which is utilizing the templates

Now, tip number two. Don't forget, guys, to use, explore the Google Site templates

The templates are pre-made designs that can be great starting points, especially if you use it about the layout or design expert

Google Sites offer customization options like changing colors, fonts, inserting images to make your site visually appealing

Remember, a visually appealing site can make first impression and keep visitors engaged

And if you're working with some templates, it's going to be much more faster to customize your stuff

So remember that if you think that all the elements that are into this template are

let's say, accurate for what you're actually looking for, then later on to changing all the elements should be actually really, really, really easy

And lastly, optimizing for mobile. Another important tip is to ensure that your site is mobile friendly

So you can check out how it's going to be looking into your phone. With more people accessing websites via smartphones

Google Sites allows you to preview and optimize your site for mobile services

This ensures that your site looks great and functions well no matter the device
