Google Sites: Creating a Website

This library guide aims to provide resources for GSU students, faculty, and staff with resources on creating your website with Google Sites.

Preview, Publish & Update Your Site

Preview & Share Your Site

Before publishing, use the "Preview" button to see how your site looks on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. This ensures a consistent user experience across platforms. "Share" button allows you share your website with others.

Publishing Your Site

  • Click “Publish” to make your site live.
  • Choose a web address (e.g., sites.google.com/view/your-site-name).
  • Set visibility: You can keep it private, share it with specific people, or make it public.

Updating Your Site

Once published, you can continue making changes — Google Sites automatically saves all edits in real time, and updates go live instantly.
