Google Sites is an easy-to-use tool set for creating simple websites.
In a previous video we showed how to create a single page site.
Here we'll create more pages and manage the site menu.
Here's a Google site with one page.
Now I'll add more content to this site by adding more pages.
Let's go back to the editor.
To add a page, click the "Pages" link in the upper right to bring up this column menu
At bottom, over over blue plus sign.
Click the icon next to "New Page."
Enter the new page's name.
Google creates the page, and a menu in the upper right
which corresponds to a menu on the live site.
With a single page, I didn't need a navigation menu for my site but now
users can find the different pages using the menu.
Google titles my new page with the name I entered for the page in the menu.
I change the title of the page by clicking on it
and replacing the text.
Then click outside the text box.
I change the name of the page in the menu
by double-clicking it in menu on the right
and replacing the text there.
On any page, you can add a footer for all pages. Hover your cursor at the bottom edge.
"Add Footer" as an option will appear.
Click it and you're able to add or edit a footer.
Any content you add to the footer on any page is automatically
duplicated in the footer on all pages in your site.
The same content editing tools as if editing the body of a page.
This might be all you need in terms of consistency between pages.
But if you'd like your pages to match each other in more ways
I'll show you how I can create and use a template page.
Here I've set up the first page with the formatting and elements
I'd like duplicated across other pages.
The page title will be different for each page. But I want these header elements
arranged as they are on this page and the navigation buttons
on every page in the site
This site is an online lesson that I want students to move through in a particular order.
so these buttons provide direction.
On the first page of the site, I'll delete the previous page button and on the last page, I'll delete the next page button
You can duplicate a previously created page
instead of creating a new one from scratch every time.
An efficient way to create pages then is to create a template page
that has formatting and elements you want in common across all your pages.
This is the first page. It's most efficient for me at this point, before I add any content to it,
to click this menu on the first page,
and duplicate the page. I'll name it "Template."
Just so I'm clear when working on a regular basis in the site
I'll change the page title also to template.
So now I can create any subsequent page on this site
by duplicating the template page,
changing the title,
and adding content.
Now obviously the template page isn't much use to visitors to my site
So I'll take it off of this menu.
I click the drop down menu
next to the page and the page list and
click hide from navigation,
Now it does not appear as a link in the site menu.
With a template page I can add pages to my site that are formatted the same.
I can use multiple templates on a single site if I need different sets of pages formatted similarly to one another
Also,
Adjacent to the publish button is a menu where I can duplicate the entire site as another Google site.
So if you need to create multiple sites with very similar
formatting or content, such as online lessons for a course,
you can create a template site. Then you make copies of that template site to create
individual sites
When building or modifying a site you may want a different home page.
So I created a new page to be homepage which right now is named "Page 2."
I'll add content to it after I make it the home page.
To make it the home page for the site.
I click the drop down menu for that page and choose "Make Home Page."
Now I rename these pages
So that they're in order
So pages automatically populate a menu on your publish site.
Here's some other tips concerning this menu.
By default Google puts it across the top in the upper right.
You can change it to a left-hand column menu
In the page editor, hover with the mouse cursor
in the upper left-hand corner, and you'll see a cog.
Click it and choose "Side Navigation"
The mobile menu is added in the editor
so let's preview the site.
I can change it back to top navigation using the same menu
This menu can also have links to content elsewhere on the web instead of just pages on this Google site
If I want to add a link to the Canisius College main website that's easy to do.
In the lower right, I hover over the blue plus button and this time choose the icon next to new link
Under "Name," add the hyperlink text.
Under "Link," add the URL or web address.
Then click done
And the link is added to the navigation menu
Lastly reordering pages is simple. Just click and drag pages
on the right-hand pages menu.
you can make a page a child page of any other page by clicking, dragging,
and releasing it directly over the parent page
Child pages are treated differently by Google in the site menu.
