I’ve been scouring the web for services that would let me create a customised version of Google’s homepage for some time.
Funnily enough, all it took was for me to write a post about a couple of options I had discovered when someone recommended I simply create my own, on my own servers, on my own domain.
I haven’t had time to customize just yet, so what you see below is the default design handed to you the moment you upload it to your servers. There must be a gallery of these somewhere, if you know of one, please leave a mention in the comments and I will update.
Finally, how do you actually get this set up. Assuming you already have a website and FTP access, no more than about 30 seconds. Download the source code here and upload to a directory on your site. I created http://zee.me/start while I ate my breakfast. To note, this is all courtesy of Infinise.com. (H/T Thibault Milan)
Good find. Are there terms of use for this do you know? Would be keen to see exactly how far one can take this.
I'd imagine as far as you like but clearly if someone started profiting from this it would be a different story.
It is covered in the faq here http://go.infinise.com/faq.txt
“Q: Can I put it on my own web server? Change the styling? Share it?
A: You're free to tweak, mod and share Go as long as you don't pass it off as
your own, original work and keep the copyright notice in the HTM file.”

ah thank you – couldn't find the FAQ's.
Many thanks!
Many thanks!
Neat =) Google should run a contest asking people to come forward with their own designs. Should be interesting. You just proved that a lot can be done on a blank canvas with a logo and minimal text
yeah agreed – seriously. Really surprised this hasn't been made more of.
Where can I find the wallpaper on the picture above ( http://thenextweb.com/apps/files/2010/02/Pictur… )?
Thanks
