Gulf Infotech, a Google Cloud Premier Partner (in business since 2007), designs and builds Google Sites in English, Arabic or both for organisations across the Middle East.

What is Google Sites good for?

Google Sites is a drag-and-drop website builder inside Google Workspace. There is no extra licence and no server to host. It works best for sites your own staff use and update:

  • news, policies, forms, phone list and quick links on one home page.
  • HR, IT help, finance procedures and onboarding packs that the department edits itself.
  • a shared space with the latest documents, timeline and meeting calendar.
  • videos, slides and quizzes for new joiners.

Live contentBecause pages embed live Google files, the site stays current. Update the leave policy in Docs or the holiday calendar, and the intranet shows the change.

Is Google Sites the right tool for your site?

Our honest view: if your staff live in Google Workspace and want a simple, staff-maintained intranet, Google Sites is the cheapest route. For a public website that must rank in search, it is not.

What are the limits of Google Sites?

Source: Google's published file limits, October 2026. These limits are far above what a company intranet needs, so in practice the constraint is design flexibility, not size.

  • Pages per site

    Up to10,000

  • Characters per page

    Up to15,000,000

  • Characters per site

    Up to40,000,000

  • Images per site

    Up to15,000

  • Custom domain

    Must use a subdomain, such as www or intranet

Frequently asked questions

Is Google Sites free with Google Workspace?

Yes. The Google Sites website builder is included in every Google Workspace Business and Enterprise plan, so there is no extra licence or hosting fee for the site itself. You pay only for the design and build work if you want help, and for the Workspace licences your staff already use. Sites are stored and served by Google.

Can a Google Site be private to our staff?

Yes. When you publish, you choose who can view the site. You can restrict it to specific people and Google Groups or make it public, and work accounts get extra organisation-level options. Editing rights are set separately, so each department can edit its own pages while everyone else only views them. We set this up during the build.

Can we use our own domain for a Google Site?

Yes, as long as the address uses a subdomain, such as intranet.yourcompany.com or www.yourcompany.com. Google Sites cannot sit on the bare domain without a subdomain. You verify the domain in Google Search Console, then add a DNS record with your domain provider. We handle the DNS changes as part of launch.

Should we build our public company website on Google Sites?

Usually not. Google Sites is designed for simple sites and intranets. It gives you limited control over design and search settings, and it has no online shop. For a public website that has to rank in Google and capture leads, a proper website platform works better. We use Google Sites for internal portals and point you to a web build for the public site.

Can staff update the site themselves after launch?

Yes. Google Sites is edited in the browser with drag-and-drop blocks, and most changes need no technical skills. Much of the content can also come from embedded Docs, Sheets and Calendars, so staff update a document and the site follows. We train the editors for each section before handover.
