Google Page Creator - A few years late?
I spent some time this morning playing around with Google’s new Page Creator service. The interface is easy to use, the designs are pretty, and there’s some great options that you can play around with in terms of layout. But…I’m wondering who the target audience is for this feature, and I’m coming up stumped. Essentially, its a fancy version of what Geocities used to have (albeit via Ajax) and people on Slashdot are likening it to FrontPage. It’s designed for someone with no webpage-making experience to create a webpage - which seems very old school. I guess if all you want is a few webpages with no bells or whistles - for example, just to put up information about your softball team or a school project - Page Creator might be the way to go, but I feel like the day of making your personal homepage to be long past. Am I missing something?
