Google has just announced a new service called Google Sites, which is now available for any registered Google user. This service was previously only available to businesses with specialty accounts.
Google plans to extend this simple hosting and design solution to those wanting to host simple web-pages. Google Sites offers a variety of themes, and arrangements to help create your website. There is also the ability to integrate your Google Calendars, Mail, and Files with ease.
Google Sites are collaborative, which engineering manager Andrew Zaeske said in the announcement makes them ideal for "team projects, company intranets, community groups, classrooms, clubs, family updates, you name it."
No HTML knowledge is required, and your website will be hosted for free on the Google domain.
