how to set up a free website on google
sites and sell your products hi guys
welcome back to another video and in
this video i'm going to be telling you
how you can create your very own free
website on google size and how you can
use it to sell your products so without
wasting any more of your time let's just
jump into it so the first thing that i
want you guys to do is come over to
sites.google.com or search for google
sites and click on the first link that
you find and once you do that you're
going to eventually reach on to this
home page and since you are on google
site and if you have made a google
account you will automatically be synced
with it so you don't have to create an
account which is a great thing it saves
a lot of time so next thing what i want
you guys to do is click on the plus
button over here and over here click on
create a new site or you can just choose
a template by clicking on this button so
let me just go ahead and select a
template and then if we like that
template we can continue on with it or
we can just continue creating a website
so let's just click on choose template
and once we've done that this is how the
website will look like so these are all
the templates that we have right now so
we have portfolio we have events we have
help center we have projects we have
teams and over here we have more but i
can't seem to see that website so we'll
forget about that and down below we have
personal
so we have work portfolio we have events
help centers and stuff like that and
then we have small businesses and then
we have educations so if you're trying
to sell a product then you have to
choose a small business template so
there's not a lot of options for you to
do that so let's just pick a site and
then we can change it up a little bit so
let's just go ahead and choose this
template over here which is a restaurant
so click on it wait for a couple of
seconds to load up because it takes a
lot of time for the website to load
under the website within itself because
of all the scripts and once it's loaded
up this is how it looks like so as you
can see there's not a whole lot going on
over here there's not a whole lot of
customization options it's just basic
tools which is okay in a good way
because if website builders added more
tools and customizations into their
website building tool then it'll
probably a slow website so
i think it's best if you just keep
everything minimalistic and don't add a
lot of extra stuff that is going to make
your website slow so i think that is a
good call when it comes to google sites
so how do we edit it so if i move my
cursor around on witty on these blocks
and text and images you'll see that they
are highlighted and a box is formed
around them and then we get a couple of
options over here such as section
background duplicate sections or delete
sections and if you click on this button
over here which is a text then we can
edit that button or text by clicking on
the edit button option and if we click
on it we can see that we can change the
name and then we can change the link of
that button as well if you wanted to do
that so basically if you add the link
over here then if anyone clicks on this
button they will be redirected to the
link that you have provided so it can be
a video or a form or anything like that
so let's just say that our products are
mostly t-shirts and stuff like that so
i'm gonna go ahead and change the name
of this one over here and so i'm going
to call it the warehouse and
i want to change up the fonts a little
bit because these fonts are good but
they don't really you know fit in with
my styles so i'm just going to click on
this option right here which has the
fonts over here so the currently the
font is playfair display so i'm going to
go ahead and choose another font so we
have oswald and we have spectral we have
verdana we have open sounds so i'm going
to choose open sounds and make it bold
bold open sounds now i think that looks
very very nice
and then down below you have a short tag
line about your restaurant or in this
case about your store so over here you
can just add a short tag line for your
store so i'm gonna write we have it all
and i'm gonna go ahead and change the
fonts of this one as well and i'm gonna
choose the normal font so for this one
so that is it so what if you wanted to
add a background behind this one so to
add a background you just simply have to
come over here on the left side and over
here we can we have a lot of different
options but we don't have a lot see they
gave us the basic tools that we need to
create a website and then they just
added some of their own applications
that google supports such as youtube
calendar maps and stuff like that but so
what if you wanted to add a background
so to add a background simply come over
here on the right side and down here you
will see that you have the option of
images and you have pages and then you
have themes so what if you wanted to add
an image over here so we can add an
image over here because google doesn't
allow that i mean if they could let us
add in images over behind the text
elements that would be amazing but
unfortunately it doesn't allow us that
so what we can do is we can just simply
click on over here at the empty site we
double click on it it'll give us this
circle and over here we can upload
images and videos and stuff like that so
i'm gonna click on images and over here
i'm gonna click on google images and i'm
gonna search for images so i'm gonna
search for shirts click on shirt designs
and we're going to have a couple of
images so i'm going to choose this image
right here this image looks really nice
man and woman both of them have it so
i'm going to choose that image and what
i want to do is i want to like do this
why can't i do overlap them for some
reason i think i overlapped it but i
don't think it worked okay so i don't
think we can add images which is a very
shame because it would have been really
cool if it could let us do that but
unfortunately it doesn't so over here
let's just add a logo again we select
the logo that we want or we can select
one let's go over to google images and
search for shared logos and let's just
choose an image over here what we we
could use this one as well i mean or
this one as well i think this would look
pretty nice over here let's just insert
that click on it and click on insert and
we can add a
shirt over here
see that looks pretty nice as well so
i'm going to close this one up and i'm
going to change it to nothing i don't
want anything over here i think that
looks pretty nice so then what we can do
is come down over here we can
select this button and we change it to
sale and we click on update and this
will be our sale button over here now
down here we need to add a catalog of
images so i'm going to go ahead and
delete this one and i'm going to double
click one over here and i'm going to add
the image course cell so let's add a
couple of images so select image and
google search again search for shirt
designs and as you can see a couple of
shirts pop up so let's just go ahead and
choose some shirts that look really
really nice so let's just use this one
and then let's just use this one let's
choose this one as well and then down
below let's use this image over here and
let's just use this image over here and
let's pick another one and then we can
just simply click on insert so let's try
to find a pretty awesome looking let's
just use this one as well so click on
insert and click on insert again expand
it a little bit so also make sure when
you're adding images you have to add in
high quality images or else they'll look
really really bad like this one over
here i didn't check up on the resolution
i just added the images for just to show
you guys how it would basically look
like and that is basically it then what
i want you guys to do is just add up the
text a little bit and add some quotes or
other images and other videos about your
shop and then what you can do is just
simply hit publish and then that'll
basically be it that is how you
create a free website for your products
and as you can see i created one in less
than what 10 minutes less than 15
minutes and it was pretty easy guys it
was not gonna lie it was pretty easy
although i would say that google website
doesn't have a lot of different options
as i said i would have liked to have
this as a background over here and then
my text above it but instead i couldn't
do it maybe it can do it but i just
didn't know how to it didn't work for me
i mean i don't know why i mean it should
work but i guess it didn't so that's
that i think overall it's just enough
for you to create a very minimalistic
looking website and a small website for
small businesses
so that is it for this video guys if you
have any other questions please let me
know in the comment sections down below
and i will be sure to answer them as
soon as i can and having said that i
will catch you guys in the next video
and until then take care and goodbye
