I really like utilizing Google Sites. It is very easy to prepare info and Google Docs. Create a number of pages to prepare your navigation. However, shifting pages in Google Sites could be a downside.

Page Hierarchy

When you add a web page to Google Sites you may actually drag it within the sidebar to reorganize the pages. This is not any downside earlier than you publish the location.

Must Publish Changes

Edits to your Google Site aren’t seen till you hit the Publish button. This permits you to click on on the hyperlink icon within the toolbar to get the hyperlink to a particular web page.

Page Links

Notice the web page hierarchy is contained inside the hyperlink. This could be very odd and actually is poor design on the a part of Google. Each web page ought to have a singular identifier. This is how Google Slides works. If you hyperlink to slip 12 and drag it to slip 3 the hyperlink nonetheless works. This is NOT the case with Google Sites.

Moving pages breaks the web page hyperlink.

As you drag pages round in Google Sites the web page hyperlink modifications to replicate the change in sub pages. THE LINK CHANGES! It is necessary to pay attention to this.

I exploit a Google Site to prepare a collection of shows I’m doing. To cut back confusion I solely have the present web page at high degree navigation. The earlier pages I transfer to subpages beneath “previous.” This provides the phrase “previous” to the hyperlink, which was not beforehand there. Thus customers are required to make use of the navigation on the location as a substitute of utilizing the web page hyperlink I beforehand shared with them.

Hacking Hidden Pages

This unlucky function of Google Sites can no less than be hacked. If you progress a web page the earlier hyperlinks you shared broke. This permits you to briefly make a web page accessible after which make it unavailable. You cannot lock pages in Sites. So if somebody has view entry to the location they’ll see all of it. If you cover pages they would want the direct hyperlink or they’ll use the search choice on the location. You cannot cease folks from looking for the web page. However, in case you transfer the web page the hyperlink would now not work and would permit you to semi make it secret.
