Thanks for continuing to read my blog post about Google Pages. As you can see, I've used a simple layout to create a page that does several things:

1. I've created a column on the right for some client testimonials - all true, by the way. Those are real clients and THEIR words. 
2. I've made room for contact information at the top and a link to my site at the bottom so it's easy to contact me.
3. I've added a feed from my blog to the left of the screen to keep the content dynamic (changing). Every time I write a blog post it gets updated in the list.

While I've uploaded an image of me, as a  copywriter, you might upload an image of a brochure or website you've worked on. You get 100mb of space, which should be enough for most people. Uploading images is a snap, too.

You could also create pages with copy you've written. Everything about Google Pages is easy - there's no FTP to worry about, no HTML to think about (unless you want to - Google makes it easy to edit in HTML mode) and no paying a designer for every little change you make.   

If I were just starting out and I didn't have someone to design my site (my current site was designed by Eric Panarella), I'd be all over these Google Pages.

I created this page in about 10 minutes total. Granted, I know how to create a feed for my blog and a few other details, but anyone can make a simple page in a reasonable amount of time. 

So, if you're just testing the online waters as a copywriter - or ANY type of consulting business - think about Google Pages.
