Google Sites 101

Event description

If you’ve ever wanted to create a simple, professional-looking website without needing to learn code or complicated tools, this workshop is for you. Whether you're setting up a personal page, a team site for a club or class, or a basic starter site for your small business, Google Sites offers an easy, no-cost way to get started (the only cost is registering your domain name through a domain name provider and the yearly renewal, typically under $30 per year). This session is designed for absolute beginners, so no prior web experience is required.

In this workshop, we’ll walk step-by-step through the basics, how to create a site, add pages, insert text and images, and the basics of good SEO.  You’ll learn how to navigate the interface, customize your layout, and organize your content in a way that’s both clear and visually appealing. By the end of the session, you’ll have the skills and confidence to build and manage a simple Google Site of your own.
