Overview

Google Sites is an easy-to-use web builder to create websites. With Google Sites, you can easily create and publish internal team sites, project sites, event sites, or other internal sites. No technical skills are required, and you can collaborate with others to create and refine Sites, just like other Google Docs. Google Sites websites are responsive, which means they’re optimized for tablets and smartphones, too. 

This article is for F&M employees and students.

NOTE: For information about F&M-branded departmental Google sites, see this Knowledge Article.
