How To Create a ONE PAGE Website for FREE (Google Sites Tutorial) 2022

Today I share how to create a one page website for free with Google Sites in 2022.

A single page website is an ideal alternative for small businesses that have limited information to put on their website and often have a single focus CTA (Call To Action).
Below are the other tools we mention in this Google Sites tutorial:
► Get started with Canva to create a free logo or cover:

[@adafelatenciorincon3522]

Hello young man; it’s impressive how beautifully organized and neat everything looks in your website. Congratulations! I really expected something a lot simpler, like the landing pages I’ve seen where people are just asked to submit either their name, zip code, or email address. They just contain the required information and a button or two and that’s it! These kinds of landing pages are supposed to have the least distractions possible, so that the potential customers don’t waste their time and proceed to fill in the relevant information. Although you didn’t build one like that, I now know that landing pages can be built on Google Sites. Thanks a lot.

[@StewartGauld]

I have published the websites for public view however, when I go to search for them, all I see are error messages. Can you please shed some light on how to make my Google Sites visible to the public ASAP!! Thanks in advance.

Stewart! Great video!! I'm wondering, is it possible to create a top navigation bar where the menu items direct you to a section further down the same page of a one page site, so you're not creating multiple pages that clients have to click through? Thanks

[@StewartGauld]

Thanks for that Nathan, You sure can mate! You can add anchor links.

[@pan6367]

I tried but it seems impossible to put a top menu with anchor links, the top menu is automatically created when you create new pages, with no custom options. So if you have one page, you won't get the top menu at all. Unless someone knows how to do that ?

Hi Mate! Great tutorial video.... anyways do how do we go about domain and hosting using google site? pls advice...

[@StewartGauld]

Hey mate, Hosting is free and your site is hosted in your Google Drive. You can also connect a domain. I suggest buying and connecting a domain for Google Domains.

[@santhoshmthomas]

Nice video. After publishing a Google Sites website, it need not be hosted separately. Am I correct? You create a GS site first and wants to move to WordPress later- is it possible?

Thanks mate. I replied to your last comment.

[@hemendiranbaskaran8463]

Very informative!! Bro. I am from India , can you pls explain me in this reply "what is meant by one page website " ?

[@StewartGauld]

Hi mate, A one page website or 'single page' website is a website with one page. Rather than a full feature website with seperate pages. A single page website will have sections on the one page that rather than seperate page with the information. You can still have menu items however, these send you down the page to the specific section. I hope that makes sense!

Both sites offer users to obtain some text information about a Privacy, nothing else happens there. So why is the one available without any log in requirements and the other one with?
