Google Sites Tutorial for Beginners: Build a Website (No Coding)

About this video

This tutorial walks through building a website in Google Sites with no coding, using a restaurant template for a fictional dessert store, Tim’s Tasty Treats, as the example. It explains that pages are made of three parts: a header with title, tagline, logo and navigation bar, sections holding the main text, images, videos and forms, and a footer for contact info, FAQs, copyright and links. In the header you can switch to a banner image and apply adjust-for-readability and anchoring options. The Pages tab lets you reorder pages by dragging, add new pages, custom links, full-page embeds or menu sections, and nest a page under another to create a dropdown. Content is added from the Insert panel, either as individual elements such as buttons, dividers, spacers and collapsible groups, or as preset content blocks, plus direct integrations with Google storage — with a warning to check Drive sharing permissions. Clicking any element edits its text style, font and size, or crops and resizes images, with an Uncrop option to undo accidental cropping. The Themes tab offers preset themes or a custom theme with your own name, logo, banner, preset or custom colors, and fonts for headings and body text, with further fine-tuning available. Finally, Publish offers a free Google-provided domain or a connected custom domain, changes are automatically saved in Google Drive, and you can review changes, republish, share the draft or published site as viewer or editor, or unpublish.

Key takeaways

• Build pages from a consistent header and footer plus page-specific sections for the main content
• Start from a template such as Restaurant and customize it, rather than starting from a blank canvas
• Use the Insert panel for individual elements or preset content blocks, and check Drive permissions for embedded files
• Create a custom theme to control logo, banner image, colors and fonts across the whole site
• Publish free on a Google-provided domain or connect a custom domain; changes auto-save in Google Drive
