SitesBuddy: Visual Builder for Google Sites

................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... SitesBuddy adds professional design tools directly inside Google Sites. Create custom widgets, style images, access thousands of icons, and add interactive elements like popups, countdown timers, sliders, flip cards, logo carousels, and more. Think of it as Elementor for Google Sites. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 👋 Hi there. I originally built SitesBuddy for myself while creating Google Sites for clients. Why? It's simple, on Google Sites I wanted the same experience I have when building websites for clients on WordPress and Elementor. I've been using multiple website builders for 20 years and know exactly what I need on Google Sites. You know what I mean? Interactive custom widgets and pre-designed templates library so I can quickly kick-start a new project. Without managing multiple tabs, hunting on the internet for custom code, or going back and forth with AI agent for 45 minutes trying to get a snippet of code to fit correctly into a native Sites embed box... btw. I did all that so you don't have to ;) So... After I built this extension for myself to make my workflow smoother, friends kept asking me to publish it because they are willing to pay for an extension like that, so I did. Now 2,000+ Google Sites designers use it, which still blows my mind. Every widget and every template in the extension is something I coded and designed over the last 3 years and now I'm handing it over to you. I made some basic features free and made advanced pro stuff for paid members only. I'm constantly improving the extension based on members feedback and we are currently on Version 4. The cool part is that this extension doesn't lock you in. That means that even when you stop using or uninstall extension, everything you've built and added to your Google Sites projects keeps working forever. That's a promise. If you find it useful, and it helps you prototype and deliver Google Sites websites to clients faster, subscribing to pro features is the best way to keep the project going and new features coming. - Robert, Creator of SitesBuddy ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Here's everything that's inside the extension, free and paid: FREE WIDGETS Ok. So here are some free widgets. Just because they are free don't think that they are not valuable. I made them free so you can dip-your-toes and see what possible with Google Sites, how everything works, and see if it's right fit for you before you upgrade to pro and support the project. Interactive elements: ✅ RESPONSIVE BUTTON Create responsive call-to-action buttons. You can customize colors (font, background, border), hover effects, and call-to-actions. Button is responsive and fits nicely in embed box. ✅ PiP VIDEO Add a video player with picture-in-picture mode that stays visible while visitors scroll. Your video remains fixed at the bottom of the page, letting viewers watch and browse simultaneously. Perfect for long-form content where you want the video accessible throughout. ✅ YOUTUBE FRAME STYLE Style embedded YouTube videos with custom borders to match your site's aesthetic. Btw. Native youtube embed shows related videos after you video ends.. this player does not.. it simply refreshes your video back to the begining (no competitors and random videos on your site - how cool is that) ✅ GOOGLE FORM STYLER Customize your Google Forms with unique styles, colors, and borders to match your site's vibe. Images: ✅ IMAGE STYLING Transform images with frame and border similar to Canva frames, ensuring they align with your site’s style. You can create round images, add custom colored border, convert images to letters from A to Z, or mask images with frames (stars, blob, capsule, heart, etc). Then simply drag and drop them into Google Sites (no external tools needed) ✅ PEXELS PHOTOS The entire Pexels library when you need copyright-free photos for your build. Search, resize, drag&drop directly into Google Sites. Symbols and Icons: Huge library of icons with ability to change size and set your custom colors ✅ SYMBOLS LIBRARY ASCII characters, arrows (left. right, up, down), check-marks, stars, boxes, numbers, etc. ✅ NOTO EMOJI Use Google's Noto Emoji as icon-like symbols for your Google Sites. Unlike standard emojis, these look crisp, clean, and icon-like - plus you can color them to match your brand. Simply copy/paste to Google Sites (no need to manually change font style for each emoji) ✅ CLASSIC EMOJI Every emoji, grouped by category. Find it, copy it, paste it. Done. ✅ SOCIAL ICONS A library of icons covering major social media networks, popular design tools, and developer platforms. You can fully customize the icon sizes, apply your own custom brand colors, and drag them directly into your Google Sites project. ✅ MUSIC ICONS Icons for leading audio networks, music streaming platforms, and marketplace channels. Change the icon sizes, set your custom colors, and use them instantly on your pages. ✅ 1300+ PRO ICONS Professional icons in different styles (outline, filled, sharp). Drag directly into your site (or download as PNG). With ability to change size and set your custom colors. Productivity: ✅ NOTEPAD Capture every brilliant idea the moment it hits.
