Hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm just seeking clarification and perhaps a fresh perspective... Can Google Sites classify as a web authoring tool for the purposes of IT Applications? And for that matter, what about other web-based platforms
like Wix and Weebly? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks. <br>
