    I am currently designing a small website that is to be used as work station for a board of a charity
    It will only have between 5 and 10 users on it

    I want to create a system where users can create share and edit documents on the site
    Really just text docs but spread sheeting would be handy too

    I was wondering if there is anyway to integrate google docs onto my site
    Basically have a google account and have all docs created in that account show up on my site and be editable once a user signs on

    Or if not with google any similar software application

    I think that you can use google docs to create forms and place it into your site. This may be helpful.

    Thanks

    Every document you create with Google Docs can be embedded in an HTML page. To do so you just need to access the document you want to embedd, click on "share", "advanced option" and where it says 'who has access' change from private to public. After changing this option you can go to the 'File' menu and select "publish to the web..." and go to the embed tab. You can then copy and paste the code in the body of your html page and the document will be displayed on your site. Everybody will be able to view your document directly from the site. If you want some users to also edit the document you have to add authorized users to the list of people who can edit the document from Google Docs. It is actually easier to provide them with a link to the document in goggle Drive (you can copy and paste the link form the previously mentioned 'who has access' page) and let them edit the document directly. All the changes will appear live on your site without you to save or refresh anything.

    Here is a way to embed Google docs in your site:
    1. Open your website in Google Sites.
    2. Go to the page where you want to embed the file.
    3. At the top right, click Edit page .
    4. Place the cursor where you want the file to go.
    5. Click Insert > Drive. In the Insert window, search for a file to insert, or paste a Google file's web address at the bottom. Click Select.
    6. Choose a border, title, size, and other options, then click Save.
    7. At the top right, click Save to save the page.
    When the original Google file is updated, it updates automatically on the site.
