Newbies can now easily build websites thanks to Google Sites
Want to build
a website…but don’t know how to build a website? Not to fear, it’s Google to the rescue! To wit:
Google Sites’ ease-of-use, tight integration with Google services strengthens company’s position in Web-app race
Google today unveiled a powerful new weapon in its arsenal of lightweight Web-based productivity applications: a tool for easily and collaboratively creating and editing Web sites. Dubbed Google Sites, it’s built around JotSpot, the wiki platform that Google acquired in October of 2006 — and whose previously unclear fate has been cause for quite a bit of hand-wringing.
The search behemoth appears to have a broad range of applications in mind for the freely available tool, from building a private company intranet, accessible and customizable by users on a permissions basis, to developing a public-facing Web site for all the world to see.
Google has aimed to make the Google Sites easy enough for a beginner yet feature-rich enough for a power user. For example, building a Google Site requires no HTML, according to the company: It’s “as easy as editing a document,” the company says. There’s also a “growing list” of page templates to get users started, including “Web page, announcements, file cabinet, dashboard, and list,” according to Google…..MORE….
At first glance, it looks very promising! I wonder, though, how many business folk will actually exert themselves to take advantage of the technology?
