Google Sites Revamped, Now Available to All G Suite Users

Earlier in the year, Google announced that the impending overhaul of its Google Sites tool is arriving soon. Now, after a short beta phase, the tech giant has made the new and improved Google Sites available to all users.

For all those unaware, Google Sites is a tool to create and manage a website. The tool has been around for a long time, and was in a desperate need of an overhaul. The new Google Sites makes it easy to drag and drop images and text from the entire G Suite app ecosystem and create a modern site that can be tracked using Google Analytics. Users can drop images, docs, slides, sheets, and even charts made on G Suite apps, and even embed YouTube clips, Calendar events and Google Map locations.

You can create the website by choosing from the six themes provided by Google Sites. The interface is simple and easily manageable, and with the help of Analytics integration, it can be monitored for better traffic-making decisions. Pages can also be added easily to your website, and a creator does not have to be a professional to build a website on their own.

"The new Sites also includes themes and layouts designed to intelligently scale and flex to any screen size, so they look great when you access them on a 30-inch monitor at your desk or on your smartphone during your commute," the blog states.

There's a preview mode as well that allows you to see how the site looks before you decide to publish it or make changes to a live site. You can even add users who can access Google Sites and give them editing rights. The new Google Sites brings real-time, multi-user co-authoring so the whole team can add and update a project site without worrying about conflicts or locked pages. All G Suite customers with Google Sites enabled now have the new version live on their devices.
