If you have any questions or concerns about using the Google Sites, I suggest you read my guide dedicated to this platform.
Blogger
If your intent is to create a free Web page, intended as a space on the Internet in which to create a blog, I recommend that you consider using the platform Blogger which is always made available free of charge by Google.
To use it, connect to its official website and press the button Create your blog that you find in the center, then log in with your Google account data.
Once this is done, confirm your profile by typing the name you intend to use for the same in the text field Visualized name and then click on the entry Proceed to sign up for Blogger. Now press the button Create a new Blog and, in the screen that is shown to you, type the title you want to give to the blog, using the appropriate text field.
Also choose the address to assign to obtain a third level domain .blogspot.com. To continue, choose the theme to give to the blog, by clicking on one of those that are shown to you and then press the button Create the blog.
Once this last operation is completed, you can start creating content as well as customizing the pages and the aesthetics of your blog. To do this, first press the button New post and use the built-in editor to write the content to publish.
The Blogger editor presents tools very similar to those of a traditional text editor as it allows, for example, to insert the title and text of the article and, moreover, through the toolbar, you can format the text and insert multimedia elements.
Before publishing a post, click on the button Preview then, if you are satisfied with the result, click Public.
As for the personalization of the blog, please refer to the card layout which you can find in the main screen of the same. Through this section you can modify, for example, your favorite blog icon and add structural elements, in correspondence with some sections of the same (sidebar, search, header, subscription, page body and footer).
To do this, just press the button Add Gadget, in correspondence with the section of your interest and then click on the button capacitor positive (+) lead, next to the gadget to add, such as the box showing the statistics, contact form or information relating to yours Profile. To confirm the changes, press the button Save arrangement which is located at the top right.
Other tools you can use are visible by clicking on the item Pages which allows you to create new pages. the button Post comments , on the other hand, it serves to moderate the latter. For the aesthetic change also refer to the item Subject and, once you have chosen a new theme, click on the button Apply to your blog.
One of the features of Blogger is its integration with the platform Adsense which allows you to earn with the blog created and the articles published, by inserting advertising banners.
To activate the advertising of Google Adsense on your blog click the tab Profits and follow the on-screen instructions that will be shown to you if you meet the requirements of this platform (I told you about it in detail in my guide dedicated to the topic).
Also, if you have any questions or concerns about using the Blogger, I suggest you read this guide in which I tell you about it.
Other platforms for creating a free webpage on Google
To create free Web pages there are many other tools that, even if they are not made by Google itself, are equally valid and easy to use.
For example, one of the most popular platforms for building websites is WordPress.com, a service that provides 3G storage space with a third-level domain (chosenname.wordpress.com). This tool offers the use of the well-known CMS WordPress and also gives the possibility of subscribing to subscription plans (prices starting from € 4 / month with annual billing), dedicated to those who want to insert advertising banners within the site created and want to obtain a second-level personalized domain (celtonames.com). I talked to you in more detail in this tutorial of mine.
Another good service is that offered by Altervista.org which, on the other hand, provides free storage space and unlimited traffic with a third-level domain (chosen name.altervista.org). The subscription of the optional subscription plan (19 € + VAT / year) is used to obtain a second level domain (www.miodomino.com).
These services, but also the others I told you about in my guide dedicated to creating free websites, such as Wix, are particularly useful for their ease of use. You can then use them to create a free web page on Google but, I remind you, that in order for the site created to appear within the homonymous search engine, it is necessary to implement strategies for its correct indexing, commonly called SEO techniques. I told you about it in more detail in this guide of mine.
