Awhile back, we wrote about Google Sites, a platform from the Googleplex that allows manufacturers to create whole Web sites with social/2.0 features easily.
Here's another toolkit from Google Labs that manufacturing SMBs will want to watch: Google Pages.
Like Google Sites, Google Pages is a WYSIWYG html editor. Here's what we get:
- No technical knowledge required. Build high-quality web pages without having to learn HTML or use complex software.
- What you see is what you'll get. Edit your pages right in your browser, seeing exactly how your finished product will look every step along the way.
- Don't worry about hosting. Your web pages will live on your own site at http://yoursitename.googlepages.com.
While Google Sites is a one-stop shop for complete Web site creation and hosting, Google Pages looks like it'll help those of us with an existing site to create pages to upload to them without having html or technical chops.
Right now, Google Pages is still in "an early testing phase" (is that pre-beta?) but it's accessible and looks pretty good.
For manufacturing SMBs looking to broaden their Web development options, you oughtta slap a bookmark on Google Pages.
