While “Google Apps for your domain” provides a lot of functionality like 200 email accounts, calendar, google pages etc and hope fully in the future it would integrate with “google docs” , lack of support for any kind of database is a serious setback for people hoping to host their small business website using Google. Combining Google Page creator with “Zoho Creator” gives a great way to create dynamic website with forms/reports and search database.
The advantages of using “Zoho Creator” is, it can be done by people having little or no technical knowledge and zero coding. Zoho creator provides tools to embed forms, reports etc using either iframe or javascript in any HTML page. Here is how you can add dynamic content or forms to any HTML page.

1. Register with Zoho and create tables using “zoho creator”. Create a form using the simple interface and embed it to your HTML page using javascript or Iframe. In this sample form, candidates can register for open positions using a simple form.
2. Create a view for the tables that you created and embed them as IFrame or javascript. In this sample view, I list out the list of candidates who have applied for the openings.
3. Host the HTML pages using free hosting sites like Google page creator.

Zoho creator is the quickest way to add dynamic functionality to HTML pages without worrying about SQL or PHP.
