Yet another long-awaited feature surfaced recently: flexible text editing in New Google Sites.
Tips for end-users and small businesses:
Previously, you were tied to the main theme you chose, one font, and a single accent color in your New Google Sites, which helped with the cohesiveness of the look and feel in your site (just in case you were not born a web designer), but didn't allow you to call out certain pieces of text very easily. That has changed in several ways:
💎 You can change font size in a more granular way, while still maintaining a selected style status of Heading, Subheading, etc.
💎 You can use strikethrough formatting.
💎 You can apply other colors of your choice to parts of your site’s text -- in addition to your theme's accent color.
💎 Better yet: you can choose from Google's full array of fonts -- which is even more than you got in the Classic Google Sites.
💎 And as in any file editor, you can also adjust line spacing,
💎 As well as use indentation.
With these features, now anyone can build a simple website with confidence and ease -- without the need to know or write a single line of code. It feels like editing a text document or a presentation!
Because the core of what I do is to empower people to DIY their tech, this feels like a giant step forward in New Google Sites, enabling you to DIY your website.
💎 As a bonus, Version history that you might know from Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, is now a feature of New Google Sites under the 3 dots in the upper right-hand corner. This gives you the confidence that even if you make a mistake, you will be able to revert back to a previous version any time.
Tips for mid-size companies and large enterprises:
If your organization is using the Google file editors in Drive, but not yet using Google Sites, you may want to tie the ability to create Sites into your content and file management strategy: you can surface team- or company-specific information in a way that's more relevant, visual, and more approachable to people's roles, needs, or objectives -- all while e.g., restricting the sites' visibility to just your organization or even just to specific people internally (without the need to open up external access -- unless that is a business need).
💎 As an added bonus, New Google Sites behave like any other Google Drive files, so they can live in team folders or shared drives.
💎 Ensure that users not only share the Site itself, but also share any embedded content that shows up in the Site, as needed.
