SITE THAT AID YOU GO LIKE LIGHTNING – Google Site

As Gmail and Google Calendar, we have also come across other available Google Apps applications, such as Google Sites. Today Ontrack Systems has kept “Google Sites” under the limelight.

Let us build professional looking website within few minutes, collect all information in one place and then easily maintain it. And the best part is, we don’t even have to know a lick of HTML to do so.

Adopt the easiest way to make information available to the ones who need quick, up-to-date access. Together can be worked upon a Site to add file attachments, information from other Google applications (like Google Calendar, Google Docs, YouTube and Picasa), and new free-form content. Creating a site together is as easy as editing a document and control is in our hand to decide whom do we want to grant access to view and edit. The Google Sites web application is accessible from any internet connected computer.

You may not have a budget to pay for website development.

But, even without a budget or a lot of time, there are options for putting together a quality web presence. If you are ready to put some time and limited resources to programming you can create your site in Google Sites with an investment of $10 or so to register your domain for the year.

But please remember every organization has different needs from a website and resources for making it happen, so make sure you plan your site accordingly.

There’s much to love about Google Apps, and any organization that has adopted the Google Apps platform for any length of time has witnessed innumerable changes and improvements as Google cranks up its cluster of cloud apps for businesses, schools and non-profits.
