Take Notes While Creating Your Google Site

When you're building a website in Google Sites, you often need to jot down ideas, save snippets of text, or keep track of things to do. Normally, this means switching between Google Sites and another application. With SitesBuddy's Notepad widget, you can take notes without ever leaving the Google Sites editor.

This simple but powerful tool saves you time and helps you stay organized during the website creation process, eliminating the need to constantly switch between applications.
