Adding a Site Favicon2:00
Publishing Your Site (naming & who can see & edit it)5:59
Adding a Custom Domain Name9:07
This lecture will show you the steps required to add a custom domain name to your Google Site. Oh, but it doesn't stop there.
I've not been a fan of the www versions of website URLs for many years, but Google is not concerned with my feelings, so they make WWW a requirement for all custom domain names assigned to Google Sites.
Seriously though, I finish this lecture by showing you how to forward your non-WWW (naked domain) to your WWW version so no matter how you present your URL - with or without the WWW, your Google Site will display in all its glory.
Adding a Custom Domain Name When Using Cloudflare9:53
This lecture is kinda like the previous lecture, except you need different instructions if your DNS is on Cloudflare, and that is what this lecture provides.
Also in this lecture, like the previous lecture, I'll show you how to add the redirect or forwarder from the non-WWW version of our new Domain Name to the WWW version of our Google Site custom Domain Name. That is also different from the previous lecture because we are now using Cloudflare.
Adding FREE SSL To Our Naked (Custom) Domain Name6:03
If this lecture title makes no sense that is probably because you have not yet seen the previous two lectures so check them out first or this one will be a bit confusing.
Okay, now that you've seen one or both of the previous lectures, this lecture will detail how to use a free tool to add SSL to your custom domains naked or non-WWW versions.

Requirements

No prior experience is necessary
Computer with Internet access
Willingness to learn & have fun in the process
A Google account like a Gmail account for example

Google Sites Website Building Course...

Are you tired of paying someone to build your websites… only to have that person forget to add that video or color scheme you asked for?

Are you the “if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself” type of person… but the whole website building process is way too technical?

Maybe YOU want to be the person people are paying for setting up THEIR website... and you want to do it the best way possible?

If so, I understand. I've been there. Using Google Sites makes creating, maintaining or collaborating on a website a breeze. But, having the word ‘Google’ in the site builder name means it will likely be confusing & without a clear step-by-step guide for you to follow.

At least it was for me when I first began learning how to use Google Sites.

How Much Is Your Time Worth?

Having gone through many outdated videos as well as Forum & Blog posts that claimed to have the answers to my questions, I still had many questions that remained unanswered.

Questions like:

How Can I Add Buy Now Buttons
How Do I Add a Custom Domain Name?
How Do I add a Custom Domain Name when it is on Cloudflare?
How Do I Add or Change The Header Images
How Do I Add New Pages or Sub-Pages
Can I Create & Add Custom Contact Forms?
Don't I Need a Domain Name Too Build a Website?

Let me answer that last question for you RIGHT NOW!

NO DOMAIN NAME REQUIRED!
(But I show you how to add up to five custom domain names if you have them)

These Google Sites training Lectures answer those and many other questions. One of the many bonuses of a Udemy course is that you can ask as many other questions as you like. One of the items I pride myself on is answering those questions as quickly as possible. So not only do you receive high-quality training in the Lectures, you also receive super fast replies from me when you have questions.

These Google Sites Training videos allow you to look over my shoulder as I build a multi-page, mobile responsive professional-grade website using Google Sites.

So enroll in this course and you too can begin building your own ZERO-COST Google Sites right now!

Who this course is for:

Anyone wanting to build mobile responsive websites
Budget Minded Business Owners wanting professional grade websites
