Google domains not forwarding anymore?

Years ago I bought boofing.org and set a redirect to Brett Kavanaugh's Wikipedia page. In the last few weeks that page just shows up as under construction and does not show the redirect as it had done for years.

What settings am I missing to make sure that anytime someone goes to boofing.org they get to his Wikipedia page?

Sms links on Google sites

Hi,

I have seen several threads where an sms link on a button was attempted on google sites and it seems no one was ever able to complete it. I use photos as buttons on my website and was able to embed it and create the sms link.

This section of code needs to be used and a direct url link to your photo inserted where it says "PASTE_YOUR_BASE64_STRING_HERE". I used base64 to get the direct url to my photo by inputting the size I wanted and converting, then copying the code under image. After inserting my embed code, I removed the crossed-out section and then adjusted width and length at the end of the image code and edited the phone number and text body. It works!

<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="sms:+12345678921?&body=Hi! I have a question." style="text-decoration: none; display: inline-block;">

<img src="PASTE_YOUR_BASE64_STRING_HERE"

alt="Text us at 980-202-0762"

style="width: 100%; max-width: 500px; height: auto; border: 5px solid #FFFFFF; box-shadow: 0px 4px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.3); display: block; margin: auto;">

</a>

</div>

Website builder for trucking

Hello there!
I’ve been having a bit of trouble figuring out how to create a website for a small trucking company.
I already have a domain and Google Sites set up, and I’m not too bad with tech.
The tricky part started when I started building it. It would either act up, making things look pretty basic (like adding a phone number to the corner of a banner), or it would do some random things.
Even though the concept isn’t too complicated, I’m still wondering how people manage to do it.
Hiring a developer would be easy, but I’d rather understand what I might be doing wrong.
The plan is to have a two to three colour scheme, a three-page layout. One page would be for our contact us/get hired section, and the homepage would feature some trucks and a few catchy phrases, basically a review page.
I’m either doing it wrong or I want something out of the possible capacity of the developing app.
Please I would love an advice, cheers.

Forms &amp; Reviews

Hi! I designed my own website for my business recently. I have on it a contact form that’s a Google form. And a button that sends you to our Google reviews to leave a review. What ways can I add forms other than Google forms? I don’t like the way it looks. And is there a way I can have customers leave reviews directly on my website?

I am having trouble getting any real feedback from anyone on what could be improved on this website since I’m asking people I personally know and they just want to support me. If anyone would like to go through it and give any feedback I’d really appreciate it.

Error when visiting site

I recently bought a domain through PorkBun, and am trying to connect it to a website made using google sites. (I followed this tutorial: https://kb.porkbun.com/article/113-how-to-connect-your-domain-to-google-sites?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23534643339&gbraid=0AAAAACRvVRP6kp2VWAHrwzdcsINeQYvPF&gclid=CjwKCAjwwpDQBhAuEiwAa-4Wo0o7z7Y8ZDVzc-PxsSoFZSHGoEQhRwP1KSs2L7REe_90lCvZbqMwvRoCnQ8QAvD_BwE )

It all seemed to connect correctly, but after setting up domain forwarding, attempting to visit the site results in this error: "404 (006) pixie proxy, no wildcard URL forwarding configured"

How do I go about resolving this?
