Notion and Google Sites are great for wikis and multi-page sites, but they will not render your AI-generated HTML as-is. Here is when to use each, honestly.
When you want to publish a page for your team or the public, Notion's "share to web" and Google Sites are the obvious tools. They are genuinely good at what they were built for. They are also the wrong fit for one specific job: taking an HTML page your AI just generated and putting it online exactly as designed. Here is an honest comparison.
What Notion and Google Sites are built for #
Notion is a document and wiki tool. A public Notion page is perfect for notes, docs, and a lightweight site made of Notion blocks, kept in sync with your workspace. Google Sites is a simple website builder for a multi-page site assembled from its own components. Both shine when the content lives inside their editor and follows their layout system.
What neither one does is render arbitrary HTML. Paste a custom AI-generated page into Notion and it does not run; you get blocks, not your design. Google Sites only allows a sandboxed embed box, not a full page you control. If your page has its own CSS, layout, or a bit of interactivity, their formatting is a ceiling you keep hitting.
What ShareMyPage is built for #
ShareMyPage takes your HTML and serves it exactly as written, pixel for pixel, at its own URL. There is no block editor and no template to fit into: you paste the page an AI generated and it renders as designed, in a sandboxed frame, in under a minute.
Side by side #
| ShareMyPage | Notion public page | Google Sites | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Renders custom HTML as-is | Yes, pixel for pixel | No, converts to blocks | Embed box only |
| Time to publish | Under a minute, paste and go | Fast, in Notion's format | Slower, build in editor |
| Full design control | Yes | Limited to blocks | Limited to components |
| Access control | Public, password, or workspace | Public or workspace | Public or Google org |
| Multi-page site / wiki | No, single pages | Yes | Yes |
| Create from Claude | Yes, over | ||
When Notion or Google Sites is the right call #
Use Notion when the content is really a doc or a wiki that should stay in sync with your workspace, and Notion's look is fine. Use Google Sites when you want a small multi-page site built from simple components and hosted in your Google org. If the content belongs in their editor, keep it there.
When ShareMyPage is the better fit #
Use ShareMyPage when you have a finished HTML page and want it live exactly as designed, without squeezing it into a block editor: a proposal, a report, a portfolio, a landing page. You get full design fidelity plus real access control, which a public Notion page does not offer.
The short version #
Content that lives in a doc editor? Notion or Google Sites. A designed HTML page you want online as-is? A tool that renders it verbatim. Pick based on whether the layout is theirs or yours.
Have a page to publish as designed? Create it on ShareMyPage and paste your HTML in.
