Thank you this video is very informative. I can listen to your voice for an eternity and not get tired. Your sense of humor and the music in the background is relaxing and pleasant. Thank you, finally, I was able to change something on my page, which looked like a dry leaf.

New Video, Instant Like and Watch! Keep Going!💪

Hello I'm from Brazil! I discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying your videos from google sites! you create incredible sites with google, congratulations!!!

[elizakennedy]

so grateful for your channels and theme

[medhalk]

Fortunate enough to find a quite different sort of web design, style and color. You have your own style and color combinations which is very rare to see.

Just made my life so much easier! thank you for your video and walk through!!

[alexherrera]

Great video tutorial. Question: can i change color of the divider or make it shorter? Thanks

[mrsd]

Hi Chelsea, can we use Google Drive to host the images when embeded in Google Sites? We just need to put the share link right?

[DragonQueen-oxdk]

Hi! Is there a way to use Google sites without having to buy a domain or anything? I'm very confused, because we're using Google sites for a classwork project

[ilovelearning]

How do I customize my brand palette? Haven't seen any steps on it.

[alexherrera]

i created my draft page using the google themes...i do not see the setting for fonts at the end of your video? how do i create a new theme without losing the settings i have before?
thanks

What I don't get is, if Google is the biggest search engine on the planet, why is there only 17 templates to choose from within Google Sites? You'd think there'll be hundreds if not1000's - just like every other web building platform out there - but 17??
