In their own words
Google Sites
Google Sites is a web tool for creating sites for teams, projects, and events without programming skills. Its drag-and-drop editor uses an automatic grid that adapts to different devices, with premade and custom templates. Collaborators can edit together in real time. Pages can include Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Forms, Charts, YouTube videos, calendars, maps, and Drive files, or embed website sections and HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. Owners publish with a web address and choose who can view the site, including people outside an organisation. Published sites work on computers, phones, and tablets, but editing requires a computer. Google lists Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Safari for viewing. Hosting and custom domains are supported, while sites and embedded content count toward Drive storage. A free offering is listed; Google Workspace Business Starter costs $7 per user/month, Standard 14.00 USD, and Plus 22.00 USD.
Yola
Yola is a web-based website builder for small-business sites. It supports custom domains, contact forms, SEO controls, blogging and booking tools. The Free plan costs nothing and provides one website, two pages, 100 MB of storage and a free Yola subdomain. Other listed plans raise the page allowance: Personal supports 50 pages per website, Business 500, and Business Elite 1,000. The included page limit is 50 pages. Yola uses a freemium model, and the product is accessed through a browser. The maker, also named Yola, was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. This combination of publishing, search controls, contact forms and bookings covers common small-business website tasks.
