Google Sites

Create a simple website

Starting Jan. 30, 2023, Google will automatically transfer content from classic Google Sites to New Google Sites. If your site is content-heavy with high traffic, migrate your classic Google Sites to the New Google Sites before Jan. 30 to avoid disruption for site visitors. 

Google Sites lets you quickly create a simple website without any knowledge of HTML.  You can work alone or with others to create a Google site. 

Google Sites is not appropriate for departmental websites. See Stanford Sites for a recommended alternative.
