Google Page Creator is now in Beta

The famous Mountain View, CA search engine leader, Google, now offers an easy-to-use online web page creator and 100 MB of free storage space.

In Google’s own words:

Google Page Creator is a free online tool that makes it easy for anyone to create and publish useful, attractive web pages in just minutes.

Users have reported Google supports both Internet Explorer and Firefox as the browsers of choice for the service. If someone happens to use another browser, a funny message is presented:

Our programming wizards tried their darndest to get Google Page Creator to work with as many browsers as possible. But alas, even the most expert practitioners of web sorcery must sleep now and again, lest their JavaScript magic run dry.

Web sites created with the service are available through an address similar to http://username.googlepages.com and nobody knows yet if they’ll rank higher in the Google Search Engine for simply being hosted with Google Page Creator.

Images may be quickly uploaded via the “Uploaded stuff” option on the right side of the page. Once images have been uploaded, the user can select a page in the “Manager” to edit it directly.

Keep in mind this service is still in Beta and must be dealt with accordingly. Some users have reported small (minor) glitches but overall Google Page Creator provides a straightforward way for a user to create a web site that can be managed from any computer.

The coolness factor for this service is quite high but…

Before you rush to open up your account, you should know Google can’t handle the current flow of users who want in. This notice we got when trying to register resumes the situation:

Thank you for your interest in Google Page Creator! Google Page Creator has experienced extremely strong demand, and, as a result, we have temporarily limited the number of new signups as we increase capacity. In the meantime, please submit your email address and we will notify you as soon as we are ready to add new accounts. Thank you for your patience.

Perhaps the service will be available again soon but for the meantime, it’s most probably being tried by a large number of lucky users.
