There are some free web page builders out there. A long time ago I used the following:

but I wasn't doing anything fancy. And here's a link to a short review of 5 open source builders:

OpenOfice has been rather stagnant since Apache took over. LibreOffice is better maintained:

I was curious about the difference since I down-loaded Open Office recently. I didn't exactly identify the "difference", but this was interesting:

I built this using "pages.google.com"; however, it is now called "google sites"

I would disagree, especially in Karl's case where he makes his living from woodworking. Someone looking to have something built always has a particular type of item in mind.

By putting a number of projects on the same page, it lets a potential buyer zero in faster on an example of what they're looking for.

And, your example of scrolling down being slower doesn't make sense. It's much slower to load a new page than it is to scroll down on an already loaded page.

If you have a very slow connection it's faster to load small pages than one large page. Browsers can (but not always, for some reason) completely hang until a page is completely loaded. It's frustrating because you can't even switch to another tab. It happens to me often which is odd because my connection isn't all that slow (DSL).
