Sandvox is a WYSIWYG template-based website creation tool by Karelia Software, based around WebCore. Released May 18, 2006, it competes directly with Apple's iWeb and Realmac's RapidWeaver. Sandvox can be purchased with either a Regular or Pro license. The Pro license unlocks more advanced features, such as the ability to include raw HTML pages and "pagelets" within the created website.
[edit] Overview and features
Sandvox is a website and blog creation tool. The end-user does not need to have any knowledge of web languages in order to effectively use the product.
The features of Sandvox include:
- Pre-designed templates
- Easy and flexible website creation
- An iLife media browser
- Drag and drop support for media files
- Blogging
- Podcasting
- One-click publishing to most webservers after some initial setup.
Sandvox is currently in its first version, meaning it has a limited featureset and some unresolved bugs. However, like RapidWeaver it includes some features iWeb does not, including the capability to add comments and trackbacks through Haloscan (a feature available in iWeb only through a third-party application called iComment or when publishing to .Mac) and the ability to add raw HTML pages and "pagelets". This last feature allows users to add their own content, in their own format, to their websites.
