Create user Start Page using Sites - Google Apps Help
As a Google Apps administrator, you can create a Start Page for your users, using the Google Sites Start Page template. This page is your users' homepage, on which they can access their Google services and other content -- such as interactive gadgets and RSS feeds -- when they log in to their Google Apps accounts. Here's a simple example of a Start Page: Note: The Start Page template provides you with much control over the content on users' Start Pages, so it's especially appropriate for organizations -- such as K-12 schools -- that need limit access to some content. How the Start Page works On the Start Page, you can add content, including text, images, and gadgets, in a "locked" area, which users can't modify. Below the locked area on the Start Page, users can add gadgets of their choice from the public directory to personalize the page. For even more control over Start Page content, you can also create private gadgets that are only visible to users in your organization's domain.
