Another app for people that can't code or design for the web? Learn basic design, HTML 5 and CSS 3 instead. This will serve you better in the end. The world is full of skilled designers/coders sharing their knowledge in these things and helping newbies out. Knowing your stuff means better control and much faster development.

Comment: save your money. You can learn to do this, and while you are learning, there are more reasonable choices on MacUpdate that actually work.

Well, I had a quick try of it and it looks really easy to use, BUT there's a huge disadvantage of using such a proprietary format editor, that nobody seems to notice: 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. :-(

After giving in and upgrading, I have to say that I can reluctantly recommend this software again. Version 3.1 is an excellent upgrade and things seem to be very polished. 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 see that one of the features of Goldfish 3 Pro is "Personal e-mail support from Fishbeam." Really? I hope so, for the developer's sake, because, as stated below, support has been nonexistent for ... well, forever. I have used this app since Version 1 and never got a response to an email, and the forum had a lot of people asking questions, but no one getting answers. That's too bad, too, because this is a good app with great potential. Kind of a big jump from 2.3 to a paid upgrade for 3.0, though, especially when there have been hardly any updates. Oh, well [sigh], off I go to give 3.0 a whirl.

No support will be Goldfish's downfall. 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.

Can't recommend it anymore. The support is completely ignorant. Which is particularly bad, because it's much needed. The latest version turned out to be heavily buggy. I'm disappointed.

First of all: Very good app! 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!

Goldfish sits between iWeb/Rapidweaver/Sandvox and the text based html editors. It handsomely gives you templates, but they are very easy to edit, it has drag and drop text areas, menues and boxes, but once again, very easy to change. And it publishes your site out as css. I made a website for a client in one day, compared to the week I spent futzing about with iWeb's handholding methodology.
