i had the privilege of trying blocs 2.0 during the closed beta and i must say im pretty excited about it. to be honest i thought it would be impossible to satisfy my needs, as i was looking for a web design tool thats not so much aimed at beginners anymore. but the developer behind blocs totally pulled it off.
The UI of v2 is just as simple to understand as the first version of blocs. it just feels more mature and grown up by now. beginners are still able to create pretty cool looking sites in literally no time. if you know what you're aiming for, you can easily create a fully functioning one-pager in less than 5 minutes. with some getting used to the workflow you can probably do it in less than 1 minute without adjusting the text.
so what about power users? well they would throw together a site just like a beginner would, but after it you have this entire new level of settings and options to tweak. and thats what make the difference for me. with blocs 1.x i sometimes hit a wall where the capabilities of the software ended, but now its a totally different story. id recommend going to the website of blocs and checking out the 2 introduction videos. they show what i mean.
but even if you are a professional web developer that loves raw code. i bet you anything that theres no way that you could create a raw skeleton of a website faster than in blocs. there is no drawing like there was in macaw, theres also no drag & drop. you only click to add elements and select what you want. its really super fast.
so in the end, theres something for everybody inside Blocs 2.0 and i recommend you check out the trial and see for yourself.
icon. Plus, keep all your apps updated.
