Google has just announced a free Web Page Creator. This new service, aptly called Google Web Page Creator, gives people the ability to set up basic websites under the googlepages.com domain name. If you have a Gmail account, you can simply select Google Pages and start creating your website. The service allows you to select the template style you want, the layout, fonts and even upload images. It’s only drawback is the fact that your domain name will be along the lines of gmailname.googlepages.com. It is bound to raise some eyebrows amongst web developers who are charging much more than ‘FREE‘!!
By the way, if you don’t have a Gmail account, email Swansea Bay IT and we will email you out an invite.
