No support. Multiple requests to Goldfish support have not been answered.

What happens if you have to work on an existing site created with some other app? Or if you lose your Goldfish project?
No way to recover it from html pages...
As far as I can see, it's impossible to import directly an existing html page!!!
Not to talk about a complete website...
(there's a way to paste code, which is not really convincing, but anyway: imagine doing copy/pastes for an entire website!)
It's a pity that such a nice app stays closed in its fishbowl instead of opening itself to the rest of the world: otherwise, I bet it would a best seller. :-(

I found that the developer is in Germany. Therefore most of the support is German and the language barrier keeps us English people in the dark. If you look at the German support forums, they are very active, while the English ones are a ghost town.
But at least I know that the product is being supported and regularly bug fixed. However I'm still not happy with the cost of the upgrade.

I can't, in my right mind pay for an upgrade to 3.0 knowing the developers past history with no support.

I've used Freeway Pro and Rapidweaver and Goldfish Pro is very promising. There's not much I haven't been able to do with it. I've been able to produce a professional looking web site with custom HTML and it's the closest to a WYSIWYG program I've used yet. Think of iWeb the way it's supposed to be.
Goldfish will not succeed because there is absolutely no support from the developer who has apparently written this software as a hobby. The help is minimal and the user forums are a ghost town of previous users that have given up on getting any help or updates.
This developer needs to sell this program to a company that will support and update it. I do not recommend buying it until this developer decides he wants to take this project seriously.

I'm disappointed.

But: When I registered a year or so ago, the support was also very responsive. This seems to have wanded. Since X-mas I've been trying to contact the developer by mail for a regsitration issue, but there's no reaction at all. I need a quick reply, though. This is why I'm trying this channel: Please, developer, respond!
