What kind of websites were you planning to build?
A site devoted to the history and products of a small English pottery, c.1880s-1930s.
How did you hear about Sandvox?
Sandvox was recommended to me by a Mac genius in the Liverpool, UK, Mac store.
What made you decide to get Sandvox?
I'd already built sites with raw code (HTML / CSS), but was looking for a faster, simpler way to create a site from scratch. I'd tried RapidWeaver but hadn't got on with it; then Sandvox was mentioned to me in a Mac store. I tried the demo version and could see within a few minutes that this was the app I'd been looking for. Bought the full version, joined the forum, built the site I had in mind ... and now my old hand-coded sites are likely to have the Sandvox makeover.
Now that you have Sandvox, what do you like about it?
It's easy to use. It has a range of features that enhance and enrich a site. The code can be customised (I wanted images to have a lightbox effect -- code injection allowed me to do just that). Oh, and the price is pocket-friendly!
