Google Sites is now open to everyone and the entire service is being offered for free. So what is Google Sites? It is a place where you can setup a website that you can share with family, friends or the entire world. Google Sites can also be used by businesses as a Intranet feature for their organization as well.
Getting started with Google Sites is as simple as 1-2-3. You can create pages from scratch by just clicking a single button and than you will be able to embed photo’s, calendars, video’s and even documents you have created. The site works on WYSIWYG [what you see is what you get], making setup easy or anyone to do. After you get your site setup, you can invite anyone to join in the fun and edit any of the content you have provided.
Google also states:
Use Google Sites to:
- Plan club meetings and activities
- Share info on a secure company intranet
- Collaborate on a team project
- Stay connected with family members
Plus more:
- Single-click page creation
- No HTML required
- Customizable look and feel
- Settings for accessing and sharing information
- And it’s free!
You can get started here.
Or you can check out the new Google Sites blog which hosts a tutorial for you to use here.

It’s nice to see that Google continues to come up with inexpensive and free products for personal and professional use. On a professional level, a Web presence is absolutely necessary for anyone starting a business or that already has a business. If you have a business and do not already have a Web site, you’re missing out on one of the most obvious opportunity for marketing there is (and there’s really no excuse to not have the two essentials these days – a business card and a Web page). This seems like it would be another free opportunity for those unsure of how to create a professional Web page (or without the resources to hire a Web designer) to at least practice creating a Web presence. As someone that works with small business computer consultants and helps with new business development in particular, I still would recommend not using a free, public space as a main business Web page (it’s important to have your own domain name to convey professionalism and credibility), but I think because of Google’s good reputation, this would be a good start or something that could be a support for other marketing techniques.

I guess the only question now is what is the difference between Google Sites and Google Pages? Beta status?
