Google Pages
I was creating a presentation for a client using google docs. Basically, I was making a pitch to get him to move to Google Apps. So while I was making the presentation, I went into the control panel to make sure I wasn’t missing any functionality. Well, I was.
Now that I think back on it, I remember looking at it before, but seeing as I use django for my actual website and blog, or plone in the case of neohawk.org, I blew right by it without out really checking it out. Well, today, I finally checked it out — Google Pages.
I know the particular client I was creating the website will not be looking for anything overwhelming difficult, web design wise, so most likely the default templates are just fine. However, the other client will most like want some customization of the templates. It’s not clear how to do that though — at least until I hit the google groups for pages. There was a hint of how to change the css, widen the usable portion of the layout etc. I’ll admit, it’s not elegant, but it seems to work. I did a quick test trying the neohawk.info css stylesheet
I am personally not interested in them whatsoever, but for this particular client and one other it’s absolutely perfect. They have maybe three pages of content, largely just to say that have a web page. Both clients pretty much work on a face-to-face basis only.
