Google have launched a new service called Google page creator which allows you to build a website with their WYSIWYG editor. This was originally built by some Google engineers in their 20% time, but now it is a full Google service which they will support.

It's currently in a BETA release, but I tested it out by creating a tutorial and it worked without any major problems. This took me a little over an hour, which is a lot quicker than if I had coded it by hand.

The tool will be most useful for any web users, who lack HTML skills, but want to create their own web page... and just like Google's other services, it is free to the end user.

You get 100mb of storage which should be enough for around 1000 web-sized (640x480) photos. I expect to see Google tie this service in with picasa in the near future to allow seamless publishing of photo albums on to the web.
