Responsive menus, adapative columns, and 100% width images One of the biggest benefits of a Google Site is it's built-in RWD (responsive web design) feature. Be sure to enable the general settings... mobile checkbox: "Automatically adjust site to mobile phones". The adaptive rendering maybe not as elegant as some WordPress themes, but the ease of set-up and rapid development is a benefit to small business owners with modest budgets.
