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 students and others creating content that doesn’t need to be accessible via Experience (the college portal).
If you need to create a site for the F&M community that is available on Experience, submit a ticket with ITS.
