Notion Sites

Notion Sites is a website publishing feature from Notion that lets you turn regular Notion pages into public websites. Instead of building a site from scratch in a traditional website builder, you can create your content in Notion and publish it in just a few clicks.

This makes Notion Sites especially appealing for people who already use Notion for docs, wikis, portfolios, help centers, landing pages, or internal knowledge bases. You write once, organize your content, and publish it on the web without needing to manage hosting or complicated design tools.

What Notion Sites does

At its core, Notion Sites helps you publish web pages directly from your Notion workspace. A page can become a public site for things like a portfolio, personal website, blog-style page, company help center, job listing, event page, or simple landing page.

Notion also allows unlimited site publishing on its Free plan, which lowers the barrier for creators and small teams that want a lightweight web presence. If you upgrade to a paid plan, you unlock more customization options, Google Analytics support, homepage controls, and the ability to connect custom domains through a paid add-on.

Who should use Notion Sites

Notion Sites is best for users who want speed and simplicity over deep visual customization. It works well for solo creators, freelancers, students, startups, small businesses, and teams already using Notion as their main workspace.

It is a good fit if you want to publish content quickly, keep your website content easy to update, and avoid maintaining a separate CMS. It is less ideal for users who need highly advanced design freedom, ecommerce tools, or complex web app features.

Main features

Notion Sites includes several practical publishing features that make it more than a simple public page link. You can publish unlimited sites, claim a notion.site domain, and enable search engine indexing even on the Free plan.

On paid plans, you can customize your site further with a favicon, navigation bar, share preview settings, page title, and description for SEO. Paid users can also integrate Google Analytics to track site traffic and assign a homepage for their domain.

If you already own a domain, Notion lets paid workspace owners connect existing custom domains by purchasing a separate custom domain add-on. This is useful for brands and professionals who want a cleaner, more polished public presence.

How to use Notion Sites

Using Notion Sites is very straightforward. First, create or open the Notion page you want to publish. Structure it the way you want visitors to see it, including headings, images, text, links, databases, or other page elements.

Next, open the Share menu at the top of the page and choose the publishing option. From there, you can publish the page as a Notion Site and get a public URL. If you are using a free setup, your site will typically live under a notion.site domain.

If you are on a paid plan, you can go further by opening the site customization settings. This is where you can adjust branding elements, set SEO details like title and description, manage navigation, and connect Google Analytics.

For teams managing multiple public pages, Notion also provides a central area in workspace settings where published sites, public pages, and connected domains can be viewed and managed.

Common use cases

One of the biggest strengths of Notion Sites is flexibility. A freelancer can use it to publish a portfolio or resume. A startup can build a quick landing page, careers page, or lightweight documentation hub. A team can publish a help center or resource library that stays easy to update.

It is also useful for educators, consultants, and creators who want to share guides, course pages, public notes, newsletters, or event information. Since editing happens inside Notion, updates are much easier than managing a more traditional website backend.

Pricing and plans

Notion Sites follows a freemium model. The Free plan includes unlimited site publishing, one notion.site domain, and search engine indexing. That is enough for many personal projects and simple public pages.

Paid Notion plans add more site-related features, including up to five notion.site domains, site customization, homepage assignment, and Google Analytics integration. Custom domains are not included by default; they require a separate add-on for paid workspaces.

According to Notion’s help documentation, the custom domain add-on costs $10 per month when billed monthly, or $8 per month with annual billing, per domain. That means users should factor in both the main Notion subscription and any domain add-on costs when budgeting.

Supported platforms and integrations

Notion Sites is part of the broader Notion platform, which works on the web, desktop, and mobile apps. That means you can create and update content from almost anywhere, then publish changes to your site through the same workspace.

The clearest built-in site integration currently highlighted by Notion is Google Analytics for traffic tracking on paid plans. Since your site content lives inside Notion, it also naturally connects with your existing Notion pages, docs, and workspace structure.

Why people like Notion Sites

The biggest benefit of Notion Sites is simplicity. If you already know how to use Notion, you can create and publish a website with almost no learning curve. There is no need to set up separate hosting, install themes, or learn a full website builder.

Another major advantage is speed. You can go from idea to live page very quickly, which is great for MVPs, personal branding, documentation, and fast-moving projects. It also keeps content management easy because the editing experience stays inside Notion.

For users who care more about clarity and workflow than pixel-perfect design control, Notion Sites offers a clean and practical way to get online.

Final thoughts

Notion Sites is a smart option for anyone who wants to publish simple, polished web pages directly from Notion. It is not trying to replace every advanced website builder, but it does a great job for content-first websites that need to be easy to launch and maintain.

If you already work in Notion and want a fast path to creating a public website, portfolio, help center, or landing page, Notion Sites is one of the easiest tools to try.
