FAQs

Q: Can I have a custom domain in Google Sites?

Yes, you can set up a custom URL in Google Sites. To modify your Google Sites domain registration, click the Settings icon above the editor, and then select Custom Domains.

If you plan on using your Google Site for professional purposes, a custom domain will give it extra polish. Plus, it's pretty cheap to get a .ca or .com one—about $12 a year.

Your domain extension—such as .com or .org—matters. Not sure which one you should use? Here are the best domain extensions for your business.

Q: Does Google Sites have widgets?

Google Sites doesn't have widgets outside of its Google apps options, but you can add any outside option with an embed code. Look for an Embed or < > option for the widget.

Note: The embed feature in Google Sites uses only HTML code.

Q: How does Google Sites compare to other CMS platforms?

If you put Google Sites against other popular CMS platforms, it won't stack up. But if you need to create a simple site, it offers enough features to get the job done.

Google Sites × Indify – FAQ

Q: Can I add Indify widgets to Google Sites?

Yes. Google Sites allows you to embed external content via the Embed feature either by URL or by HTML/iframe code, which works well for Indify’s web-based widgets.

Q: How do I embed an Indify widget into Google Sites?

Follow these steps to get started:

1. Create your widget on Indify and copy its widget URL.
2. In Google Sites, open your site and go to the page where you want the widget.
3. On the right sidebar, click Embed.
4. Choose either:
• By URL: paste the Indify URL and insert, or
• Embed code: paste a simple <iframe> snippet that you’ve created using the widget URL.
5. Resize and position the embed on the page.

Q: The widget doesn’t show or only displays as a link. What should I check?

Here are a few options:

• Verify you’re using https:// in the URL.
• If you used the URL tab and Sites doesn’t show a live preview, try the Embed code tab with a minimal iframe snippet.
• Make sure your Google Site is published and you’re viewing the published version when testing.

Q: Can I use multiple Indify widgets on a single Google Sites page?

Yes. You can add multiple embed blocks, each with a different Indify widget. Keep an eye on performance—many iframe widgets on one page can increase load times.

Q: Will the widgets be visible to visitors who aren’t signed into Google?

As long as:

• The Google Site is published and public.
• The Indify widget is accessible publicly via its URL.

Visitors do not need an Indify account just to see the widget.

Q: Are Google Sites gadgets and Indify widgets the same thing?

No. “Gadgets” are Google’s older widget format for Sites; Indify widgets are modern external embeds loaded via iframe or URL. Both can coexist on a page, but they’re configured differently.
