Google Sites

Google Sites is an easy way to create internal websites for teams, projects, and resources.

Sites features integrations with Google Workspace, allowing easy schedule embeds from Google Calendar, files from Google Drive, or locations from Google Maps.

Multiple people can collaborate on a Site in real-time, just like with Google Docs. Manage site permissions to restrict viewership to people with @boisestate.edu or @u.boisestate.edu accounts, or specific individuals or groups.

Content on the screen is arranged through drag-and-drop functionality, so no web experience is necessary.

University web compliance

Google Sites conveying a current university program, activity, and/or service are subject to university and federal web accessibility compliance requirements per University Policy 8040.

While Google Sites is a user-friendly platform creating and managing websites, it presents significant accessibility barriers for individuals who rely on assistive technologies, such as screen readers.

Due to these challenges, we strongly recommend that you use an alternative platform for any website that contains information about a university program, activity, or service — especially if the site contains information intended for current students or prospective students.
