I have recently been checking out Google's googlepages. They offer a free website with 100mb space. For the serious website builder 100mb would not go far, but for someone wanting a basic web presence this looks ideal.
The template builder works very smoothly.
Having spoke with several missionaries on deputation I have found a lot of interest in their own site but little know how. :) No offense guys. And most pre-made sites are too expensive.
Google pages looks like it would be good for them.
Has anyone else had experiance with it?
Google Pages - Free Website

Not with Google pages, but from what I've seen they are similar to Yahoo's Geocities.com.
I've had a personal page there for over ten years -- no cost and the page can be created in Word, saved as HTML and uploaded. And, uploading is simplified by Geocities' helpful file management. HTML for Dummies would be a good investment.
Yahoo's 360 pages, set for Public, are also free -- Travelocity has someone using that as an advertising site.
I'm certain you'll hear from others with experience with Google, and perhaps other free sites. It is a good means of communication! -
yes i'm using googlepages for our youth website right now actually.
it is very nice to use. although for putting pictures on the site - i like to make a slide-show using www.slide.com
it seems to be working out very well - it's still under construction of course. questions need to be answered that sorta thing. and testimonies added.
i like it very much. easier than frontpage (or what's that new one coming out?)
i recommend it for anyone who is not willing to pay big bucks for a simple website.
here is the link for our youth website - check it out - and since i use slide.com for pictures (and soon google video for posting the video of last nights youth baptism! praise the Lord!) - i'm using 0mb so far.

Hey Gekko, I like your site. Plenty of good info.

Great site!! :thumbs: :thumbs:
That's a lot of info for a free site. How much of the alloted space are you using? :thumbsup: -
Big bucks?
We're only paying a few dollars a month using www.hostingtruth.net
Free is good though, but I tend to be suspicous of such, as they tend
to end up with ad space on the site.
perhaps googlepages will be different though.
