SWISSBIRD  I've been looking for something better than Dreamweaver and this looks like it. That is really sweet of Tommy to leave this wonderful Mac program FREE for anyone to use. I just downloaded it and made a little photo page in 10 minutes! I couldn't believe the ease of use. I'll write more as I go along. The only thing I couldn't find was for size/type of text - - but I'll find it. I might even read "help". Thanks, Tommy, wherever you are.

SWISSBIRD  I meant to say "better than RAPIDweaver" (not Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is excellent but that's on my other computer).

$IR M.  Seconded.

From what I can determine, author Tommy Pavlicek was a recent high school graduate who grew disenchanted with software development after RapidWeaver stole Site Studio's thunder. He appears to have moved on ... not just to university, but to a lucrative career as a world-class poker player!

It's really a shame, though: this unfairly-overlooked app fairly drips with elegance. It hums along just fine under 10.4.11 and packs some amazing capabilities, given its tiny footprint.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Runs fine on my MacBookPro, OS X 10.4.11, as well.

FWIW, I've just now uploaded a copy of Site Studio to the MacUpdate server so it will always be available.

ANONYMOUS  This is a really easy to use app to make great looking websites in just a few minutes.

Below someone said you are not able to change font, and font size. That statement is FALSE. You can change font and its size, just sorta hidden :)

ANONYMOUS  What's the use of this software???

How is it possible to pretend this is a "revolution" (cf. the company web site), to affirm this is an editor/site creator, while basic items are impossbile!!!???

Key & vital points that should be adressed include:

* inability to choose a font (hard to believe);

* inability to choose a font isze (hard to believe);

* inability to add a table (hard to believe);

* bugs when adding pictures.

Cost of use (a.k.a ease of use) is very high, as many basic actions require painful, time-and-energy-wasting steps.

Example? A vital operation (adding a page) is not possible with lifesaving keyboard shortcuts. But not only that: it has to use space-wasting menu (listing the 8 page types through too big a list), and the user has to select each and every time the page type, as no default exists!

Adding a couple of pages, and apparently no-brainer task, is incredibely painful and irritating.

Why not have a floating palette with the different page types, always available on-hand, and also keyboard-shortcut friendly?

The only use of this tool could be to create a nice canvas/general structure (nice themes included, one of the few positives!), then edit it in a real web editor.

AET  Please consider adding drag-and-drop support to the photo gallery tool. It's pretty tedious to have to manually select each picture individually through Choose dialog boxes.

ANONYMOUS  Site Studio the best HTML Editor for creating a HomePage within an hour!

And the best: It doesn't need an external FTP-Client

Just a wonderful app!

LOLSMURF  Better think before you pay for an registration number. This program crashed many times and had to start over and over again. Maybe they make it stable before asking money.

ALF ORION WATT  As a fellow software developer I really hate to see bug reports in this forum. Take the time to send a note to the developer and describe the problems you're having.

If they don't respond then you can slander them all you want, but you might find out that they are willing to help you and give you the chance to write a glowing review about how helpful they were.

Just a though.

KING OF SPAIN  Whoa whoa WHOA! That's a huge improvement over the first release. All the bugs I mentioned in my review of 1.0 were fixed. The interface was cleaned up too.

What was a very good app is now a GREAT app. Site Studio is nothing short of impressive, and, hands down, the easiest-to-use web editor that you can find for any system.

ANONYMOUS  This is a dang cool program. I have looked all over the web for something like this that is easy to use (especially the photo gallery feature) and they are few and far between.

The only thing I wish it had was a little calendar page where you could have a little graphical calendar that people could flip through and see what's coming up.

Thanks.
