Google Sites is free tool to create custom websites. Similar to a wiki, you can develop the site by yourself or choose to collaborate with others on the creation and content of the pages. You can determine sharing permissions, who the owners are, who you would like to give permission to edit and revise the site, and who you would like to give permission to actually view the site. You can limit viewing your site to a small, private group or you can choose to publish it so that it is publicly accessible.
Because your Google Site is stored in a "cloud," it is available from any device that can access the internet.
Setting up Google Sites is easy.
