Design your own custom themes in new Google Sites

What’s changing 

You can now create highly customized themes in new Google Sites that align with your organization’s brand guidelines or your own personal style.

Why you’d use it 

Currently, there are six pre-created themes with limited customization options, which are helpful for quickly creating a consistent look and feel for sites. With the addition of custom themes, you have greater control over things like: 
  • Fonts and text style, 
  • Colors, 
  • Brand images, 
  • Navigation settings, 
  • Style of components such as buttons, and more. 

We hope that custom themes and custom templates allow you to create and share sites that best match your brand guidelines or specific style.
