Google Sites allows you to create a website without having to know how to code it yourself. It falls under the Collaborative category in G Suite, meaning that you can get other Google users in on the website creation process too, which is what makes it so powerful and such a valuable tool for teams. Like other platforms such as WordPress.com and Tumblr, Google Sites has site builder features that make it easy and intuitive to design your site the way you want. You can also add "gadgets" like calendars, maps, spreadsheets, presentations and more to make your site more functional. Choose a theme and customize it any way you want for a professional looking site that looks and functions great across all desktop and mobile screens.
