0:05
Google Sites to create a high quality professional website for free. So let's get into it. First of all, what you guys need to do is you're going to go to
0:15
sites.com and it will take you right here to this platform. If you cannot access it this way, you can go to your Google Drive
0:24

with your Google account. So if you have Google account, you can access Google Sites and create
0:41
your own landing pages and website very easily. Using Google Sight is actually really easy. So once you get
0:48
to Google Sites, this is where you will land. You can see we have start a new site option and we have
0:53
some of the templates available such as project, then we have portfolio, event and we have black. So let's get
0:59
started with a blank website. This is what it will look like. This is a complete blank website that we can
1:05
create. First of all, let's actually change our, you know, site title here. So let's say I'm creating a
1:12
website for my marketing company. So I'll just add the name. And then we can also add the name right here
1:18
which is our home page here and this is our title. So I'll just add the title here again. So this is
1:24
what it looks like. Now what I will do is I will of course customize the website completely
1:29
You can see at this side of the screen, we have insert. In insert, we have a text box, we have images, embed, drive, content block
1:37
where we will be able to add different contents. Then we have button, divider, spacer, map, documents, slides, sheets, forms, and more
1:44
We have pages, so we have just a home page, and then we will create more pages here
1:49
And we have the themes. So the first thing that you need to do is select a theme for your website
1:55
So this is the default theme that we have. Then we have something like this which is the Aristotle Okay Then we have Dipliment Okay This one looks pretty good Then we have the vision Let me quickly show you all of the themes that are available And then we have the impression
2:09
So I will be going with this theme right here. And now we can change the color
2:13
So if I do not want to go for the, you know, blue color, I can change the colors
2:18
I'm going to go with the purple because this aligns with my brand. So now we have this, you know, theme created
2:24
I'm just going to actually adjust it in the middle here. After that, we will move to
2:28
pages. So we have a home page. At the bottom here, we have new page. Click on new page and give it a name
2:34
So for my marketing, you know, business, we have a home page, then we have an about page
2:40
and then we have a contact page. So I need three pages for my website. And that's what I will do
2:45
I'll create an about page. Enter. Then I will create a contact page. Now let's work on the
2:52
homepage first. You can see at the top, now it's showing me a menu with my three pages. So here we can
2:58
also upload the logo and change our header type or the color and the background image as well
3:04
So I'll change the background image here. Click on change image and we can upload or select
3:09
So I'll just simply upload a footage that I have for my business. So this is the background image now
3:15
I'll move to the next section, which is going to be insert. So I will be inserting actually some
3:20
text here. So I will add a text box here. After that, I will insert a content block which is going to be an image
3:27
and text or we can go with two images. So let's go with this one. Let's add the next unoblock here
3:34
So this time I can add these social links. We can add a video, calendar, map, anything we want to
3:39
So what I want to do here is I want to add a button. So I will add the button here. We will give
3:46
it to name and then we have to add a link. We can also add a link to any of the pages from our
3:52
website. So I'll click on insert and a button will be added. We will customize this. But I
3:57
I'm just adding different blocks right here. So then we have YouTube we have a calendar we have sites and documents but for now I think this looks good First let actually place it in the middle Moving a you know element is really easy All you have to do is just you know select it and you will be able to do so

4:27
text. Click here and write whatever you want to write. Here I'll just add the introduction
4:31
my business. So I have added an example text right here. Moving on we have this content where
4:37
we have to add two images and text here we can add a title and then we can add some of the
4:42
text here. So I have added the title for Teams and services. Now again what I will do is I will
4:47
just click on this plus button and it will allow me to add any footage I want to. So I'll just
4:53
click on select image and we will be able to add the images here. Once you have added the images
4:58
now we can customize it more. We can also add a footer. So you you'll just click on the footer option and in footer we can add some text for instance the website
5:07
so you can just add right like this so i'm going to quickly do that we have our website like this

5:29
and we will customize a little bit so for that we will add some dividers. For instance, here, you select where you want to add the divider and it will be added like this
5:39
Now you can see it looks much better. We can also change the background color anytime we want to
5:45
So what I will do is we have this, you know, blank space here for our footer. So I'll change the footer background color
5:52
Click on the color and we can also select an image. But I'll go with this one here
5:57
