[OT] Website Design Apps-Mac

[James Little]

Hi Randy,

I recommend Karelia Software Sandvox 2.  It’s easy to learn with lots of help info.  It’s easy to switch between templates.  I’ve been able to add to and maintain 2 websites with many pages of content.  See the Macworld review. 

Best,

Thank you, Keith.

I have to admit that because of my very limited knowledge in this area I had skipped Wordpress. My understanding was that it was software for “blog” building. However, given your comment, I’ll check it out.

be well,
randy

However, I haven’t taken up the most recent updates (to core, stacks and add-ons) as most sites I created with it have since migrated to Wordpress, which IMHO (and like it or loath it) is probably the de facto tool for point & click sites now.
