I recently bought a domain name through Google Apps. Google Sites was automatically activated, which is what I wanted. A few years ago, I signed up with Google Pages, but never used it and the domain name eventually expired. Google Pages is gone so I assumed Google Sites was the same thing. I’m starting a small business and wanted to build a website on the domain name I bought, but Google Sites won’t allow it or I can’t seem to find where to do it. All I can do is create a “site” which ends up looking something like this: “http://www.sites.google.com/a/url_here”. That’s not exactly what I had in mind, nor is it easy to remember or easy to put on advertisements. Please help!







Yup, you are experiencing what allot of us are. Google axed google pages a little while ago because they decided to move forward with sites. Sadly Google pages in longer available in any form. There are some work arounds for things mainly using gadgets. You will have to look up specific problems and see if a gadget exists though. Sites is definitely not as robust and has even more of a cookie cutter look than pages did.
