ANDRUSHA ANDRUSHA Sandvox - Only if you don't know ANYTHING about HTML and prefer to live within the Sandbox. I have to say, this is one of those over-hyped software products that looks easy, but when you want to do anything more than the basics, you'd be better off with another product. You can't add Flash movies to your site. You can't change the dimensions of graphics on your main pages (320 is the largest pixel size) In fact, more often than not, you'll find yourself wondering why you cannot change something or move something the way you want to. Especially for us mac users, we like to be able to do something easily. After using this product, you'll quickly want to change things that you cannot change. The inspector, which is a way to see exactly what you're looking at, is a pretty useless tool when you find yourself wanting to open the underlying code (which you have limited access to) My review is a 1 star out of 5. It needs serious work to be a tool that you'll use alot. After you start making tweaks, Sandvox becomes the limiting factor as it will try to overwrite over your uploaded website each time.

SEMSTUDENT I love Sandvox, it's the easiest to use and yet most professional web site development tool in my arsenal. I love that the developers are never satisfied but always looking to improve the software through frequent updates and interaction with users. I've always been thrilled with the support and the expanding community of users and template developers. If you do web design on a Mac, you NEED to give this a try, then buy the Sandvox Pro.

MOBIL-MAC.CH Ich bin erstaunt darüber, was mit Sandvox alles möglich ist! Und es ist so Benutzerfreundlich, dass man meinen könnte Apple habe es geschrieben ;). Ich finde es schön wie Code und Design miteinander verschmelzen und das praktisch automatisch "sauberer Code" erzeugt wird und so gut wie alles manipulierbar ist. Eine sehr gelungene App, für die ich gerne mein Geld ausgebe, um meine Businessplattform darauf aufzubauen. Das einzige, was mir fehlt, ist die Möglichkeit einfach eigene Templates und Designs zu erstellen, deshalb gibts bei Features nur 4 Sterne. Ansonsten eine der besten und sinnvollsten Editoren, der zur Erstellung von einfachen oder komplexe Webseiten absolut geeignet ist. Man findet sich wirklich schnell zurecht und das Videotutorial ist gut verständlich und macht den Einstieg zum Kinderspiel! Ich kann Sandvox nur wärmstens empfehlen!

FRIDDE It is a easy and very simple program to use as non skill webdesigner. It took me one evening to get known with the program. My language is swedish but school english did help. i can highly recomend this program to those who wants to build a website. I have tried program for pc LM Pro 4 but its not in the same divsion. Just SANDVOX is what you need Regards Per-Erik in Sweden

THROCKMORTON A short time ago, I was looking to set up a start up Web business and had no experience with Web building or design. After demo testing RapidWeaver, iWeb and Sandvox, it was no contest. Sandvox writes the HTML for you. It allows you to drag and drop everything from text and graphics, to video and audio. If you have raw HTML that you need to insert to link to Google and other Web sites, all you have to do is cut and paste. In short, Sandvox is very user-friendly with several professional-looking design themes you can choose from that make you look like you have been designing Web sites all your life. I will never use another Web building software, unless it is the next version of Sandvox.

SAVAGESUN4X4 If you have used iWeb and think it good but lacks some features and control, yet you don't want to spend $$$$ for an all out set of web tools then Sandvox 1.6 is for you. Quick, easy to use plenty of features at a price the small business can afford and the rest of us can showcase our efforts you will find Sandvox a great fit. Another piece of good news is that it is a young program in the web site field. Jumping on Sandvox now will let you grow along with it and you can have an influence on where 2.x will take us. I love it and migrated to it when I out grew iWeb. www.savagesun4x4.com

DOCJK I purchased it recently and was quickly handling web-page design like a pro. Tight link-up to their support crew. Flawless installation on my MacBook Pro 17" 2.16 Ghz, 2 GB Ram, OS 10.5.6, swift and smooth! All the automatic features in publishing, MobileMe etc. worked as they were supposed to. A very easy to use tool, perfect for newbies, but offers also something to advanced users. But then I discovered that I didn't really need it anyway due to some particular feature I wasn't considering. Unfortunately I did not make use of the demo version. But without any problem the friendly and accommodating crew revoked the transaction and immediately send the money back. Great! Thanks a lot!

SEBUCHEN This program crashes within 10 seconds of starting it up on my early 2008 Mac Pro (OS X 10.5.6, 16 GB of memory). Even sitting at the splash screen, it will crash if I just let it sit there for 10 seconds. I'm not sure what the bug is but it needs to be fixed pronto.

MACUPDATE ADMIN Not likely. The IP addresses associated with the posts are very different.

BARRY J WALE Sandvox is truly remarkable, and what’s more there’s unlimited time to play with the software before any money exchanges hands. Incredible value for money and a truly professional company who responds promptly to every email I send. Thanks also to the people at Sandvox for recommending ‘A2Hosting’. I was so nervous when the moment came to send the files. As a novice, it was hard to believe that the site would go up without a hitch, but it did. Do check it out: http://www.barryjwale.com I was especially pleased about the many video clips that I’ve uploaded. They are very fast and the quality superb. To tweak any part of my site is so easy as well. It takes seconds to upload the changes and it’s becoming rather addictive - I can’t stop tinkering with the web pages! Pathetic eh?
