The following are carefully drafted guidelines and procedures to getting a Gmail account.
1. The first step is to think of a suitable username you will need for the account. This partly depends also on the purpose and what you intend using the account for.

However, if it is for business or corporate use, then it is advisable to use the name of that business/corporate organization. This is important for brand recognition, perception and ideal identity. Once you clear this in your mind, you can then proceed with the main Gmail sign up processes.

2. Open the Gmail main page by typing www.Gmail.com into the URL space of the browser you are using, and then press enter from your keyboard. However, if you are not convenient with the use of the keyboard, just use your mouse to click on the GO link that is present at the far right side of the browser toolbar.
