How Do I Add a Custom Path to My Google Site?

Published in Google Sites 2 mins read

You can't directly add a custom path to your Google Site in the traditional sense. Google Sites doesn't allow for creating unique URLs with specific folder structures like other website platforms.

However, you can achieve a similar effect by using custom URLs and page hierarchy. Here's how:

1. Custom URLs:

  • Create a new page: Go to your Google Site and create a new page.
  • Set a custom URL: In the page settings, you'll find an option to set a custom URL. This allows you to create a shorter, more memorable URL for your page. For example, instead of sites.google.com/view/yoursite/home, you can use sites.google.com/view/yoursite/about-us.

2. Page Hierarchy:

  • Organize pages: Google Sites allows you to organize pages into a hierarchy using a "parent-child" structure. This helps create a logical flow and makes your site more user-friendly.
  • Create subpages: You can create subpages under your main pages, which will appear as a nested structure in the navigation menu. For example, a "Products" page can have subpages like "Product A," "Product B," and so on.

Example:

Let's say you want to create a page for your company's blog on your Google Site. You can achieve this by:

  • Creating a new page: Name it "Blog."
  • Setting a custom URL: Set the URL to sites.google.com/view/yoursite/blog.
  • Organizing pages: Create subpages for each blog post under the "Blog" page.

This way, you can maintain a clear structure and make it easy for visitors to access your blog content.

Remember, while you can't create custom paths in the traditional sense, you can use these techniques to create a user-friendly and organized Google Site with clear URLs.
