You can add a link to a Google doc on your website, such as for a calendar of your workshops or a sign-up for classes you teach.
Another option would be to use Jotform. See this FAQ:
JotForm
For a google doc, first, create a Google account or login to the one you have.
Then, create your Google doc.
Once you've created your Google doc, go to your doc and set Sharing so that other people can view and/or edit the document, so they can sign up for classes for example.
- go to Google doc
- click Share (blue button, upper right)
- click Get Shareable Link
- make sure you see 'Anyone with the link can view'
- click Copy link (gray button)
- If you only want your students to have access, add their email addresses to the People field.
- Hit Done to save
