Oh my Goodness! Thank you so much. I was struggling to figure out how to create a site for my boutique. You are an angel. I literally walked through your video step by step and in no time I had my site up. Thank you so much!!!

[cecillwana]

Man I am so grateful for the work you do. I am a small business owner based in South Africa and I followed your tutorial to help me design a website for a physiotherapy clinic I run in the townships of Cape Town.

Stewart Hmmmm. I have watched and listened to so many website builder instructors but you are like an Angel. You made everything so clear and simple just as google is doing to the world. Thanks to you and google.

[ggilestate]

This was extremely and I mean EXTREMELY helpful! I was looking around the net and I when I clicked on the sites, and they began explaining what I had to do, I felt like a real dork! I was so lost....thankfully you simplified this explaining how to handle the hosting and the domain in one shot getting listed straight on google!

[nhlosomagwaza]

Finally, a YouTube video that does what it says it will do. Super impressed with your tutoring skills and patience. Please keep it up

[twoolive]

This is so far one of the best tutorial on website building that I have ever seen! I have two thumbs up for you for creating this tutorial! My former website that I created years ago was frozen, I don't know how to reopen it until this very moment that I've watched your video. Thanks for this opportunity through your tutorial I will create a new website that is google based with no problem at all. By the way, may I ask if this website also has DONATION button that has linked to authorized payment outlet? Lot of thanks that I wish to share with you!

[sharlottekai]

Thank you Steward this is amazing. I can't thank You enough this has helped me so much because i didn't have the financial means to create a website

[jay_finesse_em]

Stewart this was great, I really appreciate you taking the time to put out these was extremely helpful as I've just started a recruitment business.

[sacredvibration]

This video has been the best 10 minutes of my life! I have had such resistance and fear of building a website as I have hidden from technology my whole life as much as possible. You took my illusion of disastrous and stressful website building and turned it into something fun, simple and easy. Thank you so much!!!

[JuracyJohnson]

The best tutorial ever!! I love how you teach and immediately SHOW what you are doing.
I have to watch it several times, get organized and then have my own website.
Thank you from Mexico

Thank you! Other videos required viewers to pay for a domain on a monthly basis. This is the real deal.

[lynnewardell]

Thank you Stewart! Great job. Very informative. I was looking for a way to create a temporary website (for free) and your video came up. Had watched a few others that showed how to use WordPress, Elementor and free domain name sites. To me it was still too complicated for what I was trying to do and I thought the free url addresses looked a little unprofessional. Your site simplified EVERYTHING and using a Google url to me keeps it professional in the eyes of viewers. Thank you!

[campinfool]

Thank you so much for this! This is probably the best tutorial for Google Sites I've seen. Very intuitive!

[techielabteacher]

OMG! This is the best web building tutorial I've ever had. I wasted money for a whole year for a web service and I never built the site. THANK YOU !!!

[AOdanga]

A super tutorial, Stewart! Your expertise in the field is obvious. Very straightforward and easy to follow. It makes it so simple to get your first website up and running!

[DougOwens]

This video is perfect for my needs. Very comprehensive and easy to follow for a novice like me. I have saved it and will view it while I build my site. Can’t wait to share what I build.

I spent so much time looking for Free website YouTube Videos and all of them required payment which I was not prepared to pay. I am very happy with this video. This was amazing and easy to understand. Thank you.

[tazreanalam]

Thank you so much! You literally saved my day ❤
