Google Sites


Well, I've said to Collins that he should use Google Apps to manage his website AND email. As a domain hosting alternative to the usual server type. The most important thing for me was that you get to use the whole Google suite; email, calendar, contacts and even documents sharing. It is basically almost a CRM already. The whole point is communication between team members and the service is FREE for 10 users at least. Which means you could host a website with a domain and issue an email with the domain through google apps up to 10 emails. The people using those emails log in Google apps and are able to synchronize everything with each other. 

Another point which is very important is that Gmail handles spam mail much more efficiently than those available on your usual mail servers. He was complaining of Spam a lot recently. But there is an issue. I've tried to use Google Site before and it kinda sucked. It was very rigid and didn't allow for much customization. But I figured his needs are not much so I decided to try and design his website on Google site not apps yet, just the free one with the long URL. 

Check it out here and tell me if its okay or not. I believe that Google Site is a viable choice.
