How to Build a Website With Google
By:Heather Topham Wood

If you want to build a new website, you should consider using Google Sites to design your pages. Google Sites is a free website building and hosting program that uses simple Web design tools to launch your site. You can view and edit your pages after they have gone live. You only need a free Google account to get started.

Go to the Google Sites website and sign into your account with your email address and password. If you have yet to create a Google account, select the "Sign Up for Sites" option.

Use the wizard tool to set up the basics of your website. You will need to give the site a name, description, assign a URL, pick a theme and determine your privacy level. You can allow your new site to be available to the general public or only to a few select users.

Click on the "Create New Page" menu after you manage your settings. You can choose a webpage, dashboard, announcement, file cabinet or list format. You must also provide a name for each page.

Paste in your content. You then will be redirected to a blank page that appears as a word-processing document. Type texts, paste pictures, download attachments and include links to build the site.

Add more webpages, change the layout and include tables on your new site. Browse all of the edit tools to make adjustments to your site. When you are done, select the "Save" key and the changes will go live.

Track recent activity and change any of your edits by signing into Google Sites. You also can create multiple websites and manage them through your single Google account.
