AAUG Reviews

Sandvox is exactly what I wished for. I’m a basic user, don’t want to spend eons on learning all the extras, appreciate an intuitive interface, and want room to grow. This product is just that. It will assist you to design your website quickly, using a well done Quicktime Video ( why doesn’t everyone do one, we all hate manuals ), good support via email - although it takes a bit of time to get a personal response, but in the end, it really is pretty simple to use, and that’s what I wanted.

We Mac users get iWeb included with our computers, so we’re spoiled. But the family of Mac based developers, like Karelia Software, love the beauty and simplicity of the Mac, even if Steve Jobs, often trumps their work, and uses it. This is what happened to Karelia with Sherlock and now Sandvox. Watson was out there as a fabulously well done search tool for movies, stocks, recipes, etc, and then Apple brought out Sherlock, less content, but ok. Then iWeb came out and Sandvox.

But Sandvox is an easier to use product than iWeb, and since when you use iWeb, you have to use .Mac, it limits you. Sandvox will assist you to create a site with a zillion templates, and tools - RSS feed, drag and drop, Pagelets, and more and upload the site to any hosting service. (more…)
