Why Google Sites Needs a Design Boost
Google Sites is fantastic for quick, reliable websites—but when it comes to design flexibility, it has always fallen short compared to platforms like WordPress with Elementor. That gap is finally closing, and SitesBuddy is leading the charge.
If you've ever tried to create a truly custom Google Site, you know the frustration:
- Limited layout options that force you into rigid structures
- Basic styling that makes your site look like everyone else's
- Missing interactive elements that engage visitors
- The need to hunt down code snippets for basic features
These limitations have kept many professionals from embracing Google Sites, despite its excellent hosting, speed, and integration with Google Workspace. Until now.

"SitesBuddy has completely changed how I approach Google Sites projects. What used to take hours of hunting for code now takes minutes with their visual tools."
— Sarah J., Web Designer
