Why Every Lions Club Needs a Website
This guide is based on the live website we built and maintain at gglions.org

Many Lions Clubs want a website but feel overwhelmed by where to start.
We built ours using Google Sites because it is free, easy to manage, and sustainable when leadership changes.
Step 1: Create a Shared Club Gmail Account
Step 1: Create a Shared Club Gmail Account
Before building your website, create a dedicated Gmail account for your club.
Do not use a personal email address.
Share access with at least two officers (President and Secretary or Webmaster). This ensures continuity when leadership changes and prevents losing access to your website.
Use this Gmail account for:
• Google Sites
• Google Drive
• Shared documents
• Website ownership
A shared account protects your club’s digital future.
Step 2: Build Your Google Site

Create your main pages
