THE STEPS

STEP 1: BUILD YOUR GOOGLE SHEET

�Add data to Google Sheets

�Structure data set

�Create data visualizations

�Document sources

�Hide/show tabs

STEP 2: DESIGN YOUR GOOGLE SITE

�Pick a theme in Google Sites

�Work with your web developer

�Consider your audience

�Add pages (usually one page = one spreadsheet*)

*One spreadsheet can have multiple tabs

STEP 3: CONNECT SHEET TO SITE

�Insert a spreadsheet

�Adjust the frame size

�Modify display options (titles, sheet names, etc.)

�Add more data (if you want)

STEP 4: SHARE AND LIMIT ACCESS

�Share the underlying Sheet, and the Site

�Add individuals, Google Groups, or share publicly

�Let others edit, or just view

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE . . .

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLES
