Google Sites is a website builder that enables users to quickly create internal team sites, knowledge bases, portfolios, or event pages. It supports drag-and-drop design, Google Drive file embedding, real-time collaboration, and responsive layouts. Integrated with Google Workspace, it allows for easy sharing, permission management, and content reuse. While not as feature-rich as professional CMS platforms, Google Sites excels in low-code creation of informational sites within organizations, particularly for HR, IT, and team documentation.

Google Sites is entirely blocked in mainland China. Users cannot create, access, or view any sites hosted on sites.google.com, nor can they follow shared links. The service is inaccessible at both domain and subdomain levels. This severely restricts its utility for documentation, onboarding, or event microsites meant to be shared with Chinese audiences. Domestic site builders such as Weebly China, Strikingly China (上线了), and Wix China (through partnerships) offer similar low-code site-building tools. However, these often lack integration with Google Workspace, and developers should ensure that locally hosted alternatives comply with Chinese data retention and content review laws. If building knowledge bases or documentation portals for Chinese users, consider platforms like Yuque (语雀) or GitBook-style clones hosted in China. Sites built with Google Sites should not be relied upon for mission-critical content delivery in the Chinese internet ecosystem.

The information regarding service availability in China is provided for general reference purposes only. Due to the dynamic nature of network conditions and regulatory environments, the actual accessibility of these services may vary over time and by location. Users are advised to verify the current status independently.
