What’s changing
Last month, we introduced the expanded branding and customization capabilities in Google Slides and Google Forms. Today, we’re excited to announce that you can now easily and quickly create with high-quality, pre-designed themes for Google Sites as well.
Once an admin distributes branded materials to users in their organization, they will have access to a consistent set of design elements that align with your company branding. This includes fonts, branded colors, logo(s), a header image, and other theme settings like custom site width and page frames that users can employ when creating a new site or editing an existing site.
Who’s impacted

Additional details
Admins have the ability to assign a domain template to all users in the organization, or specify particular templates for certain workgroups.
