Hemmm...
I can see the reason why we need to move to a bigger/larger business market, because of the fact that most online community had started to create an easy to use solution for people/company with low budget to create their own personal/company website and etc.
Only if they are able to make use of the relatively limited features of these offerings. It will never be able to match the flexibility and scalability of a true CMS. It’s just FrontPage online.

Thanks for the tip !
Agreed with Susan about this being short compared to full CMS.
Anyway, I got this message :
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.
I don’t know if it’s the same in the US, but in France I have experienced some slow loading time and error with GMail, GoogleAnalytics has not been working well for more than a week... could it be that Google needs some upscaling of their infrastructure ?

Wendy is spot on, the smaller jobs (under $1000) will be lost to tools like these. Modx needs to appeal to bigger sites (which is should in any event) but that also why we need to offer some commercial level functionality built-in that competes with Commercial software (Proper eNewsletters, ability to integrate eCommerce (Common log-in) more flexibility in some key areas
Basically we need to take more market share for the lower end of the commercial sector (paid for CMS software) Overall this may mean fewer sites given time so its back to the question of the future business model for products like Modx

Personally I don’t think this even begins to compete with MODx or any even slightly powerful CMS for that matter. To me, Google page creator is little more than a Web 2.0 version of geosites.
MODx is in a totally differnt league, but Google has resources that could change that landscape on a whim.

I’d fear Google way more than M$... those guys are smart.
Should they ever endeavor to enter the CMS game (which, now that I think of it could happen), I agree with Ryan it would definitely change the landscape...
