SOCW 6051 Diversity Portfolio Guide
Using Google Sites as Your Portfolio Platform
Note that Google Sites is not the only free web-based platform for building your
Portfolio. Other available options include Wix, Weebly, and WordPress. This guide
focuses on Google Sites because it is simple, streamlined, and widely known. However,
if you would like to use a different platform, you may.
Follow this guide as you construct your Portfolio. For a visual example, you can also
access a sample Diversity Portfolio using Google Sites.

1. Go to\u00a0https:\/\/sites.google.com. If you have a Google account, use it to log in. If
you do not have a Google account, click on \u201cCreate account\u201d and follow the
setup steps.
2. Click on the \u201c+\u201d to create your Google site, which will serve as your Diversity

optional pages you may do so. Notice that as you add pages, the titles also
