Your website serves as the face of your business, and therefore, creating a visually appealing and well-designed Google Sites website is essential. You have the option to select from free templates or purchase premium Google Sites templates to ensure that your website accurately reflects your brand's image.

However, having a beautifully designed website isn't enough if no one visits it. To make your business appear professional and trustworthy, it's essential to have a custom domain and email. Your website and email address represent your brand, so using a sites.google URL or personal Gmail address can damage your credibility. 


Did you know that sites with sites.google.com are often flagged as phishing sites? That's why investing in a business domain and linking it to your Google Sites page is crucial. A business email with your domain, such as tom@sitestemplates.net, adds credibility and professionalism.

Fortunately, Google offers domain services, and you can purchase a business domain through them. Additionally, Google Workspace provides business Gmail, with dedicated support for troubleshooting any Google Sites related issues, as well as other Google services like email, Google Drive/Docs, and calendar. With Google Workspace, you'll have access to a suite of powerful tools that will take your online presence to the next level. 


If you don't have a business domain or professional email address, you can buy them from places like GoDaddy or Google Domains, or we can guide you through the process.


It's up to you to decide whether you want to appear professional and reliable by investing in a domain and business email or look unprofessional and unreliable.
