Google's Big Mistake: Closing Google Page Creator

By , About.com Guide

When Google Page Creator was introduced to the world it was cutting edge, the easiest to use, online, free, website creator, and it still is. Writing tutorials for Google Page Creator is tough because it's so easy to use, most people don't really need a tutorial for it. Yet, Google wants to do away with it.

Now when you try to log into Google Page Creator you get this message:

"Google Page Creator is no longer accepting new sign-ups.

We are no longer accepting new sign-ups for Page Creator because we have shifted our focus to developing Google Sites, which offers many of the capabilities of Page Creator along with new features like site-level navigation, site-level headers, control over who can see and edit your site, and rich embeddings like calendars, videos, and Google docs.

If you are currently a Page Creator user, you can continue to use Page Creator and your pages will automatically be transitioned to Google Sites later this year. We are committed to making this transition as smooth and easy as possible, and we will post more details as we get closer to the transition time. You can also manually move your web pages from Page Creator to Google Sites or other service providers at any time."

What this means is that not only can you not sign up to use Google Page Creator, if you haven't done so already, it also means that if you already have a website on Google Page Creator, your site will be transitioned over to Google Sites soon. All your Web pages and designs will no longer have the ease of use that Google Page Creator provides. They'll all be moved, and your URL along with it.
