Three's Company -  3 Custom Google Sites Launched This Week We've been working on these Google Sites websites for a while.  Finally received the green light to launch them.  The first two (Sarkis and Diplomat) are redesigns for existing html sites.  They are sister sites, so we linked them together using similar navigation systems and layout grids.  For the ATP site, we worked with their design team to put together visually distinct home page which links to a contact page and a Google Sites micro blog.
