RocketCake Website Editor 4+

Reviewing free version, Version 5.1.

After 7 years of development, it's astonishingly poor. It doesn't include basic editing tools like Edit>Select All or triple click to select a paragraph. it can't import existing HTML files. The UI is terribly cluttered; it looks like applications I remember from having to use Windows 3.11. There are probably other deficiencies, but after 10 minutes, I binned the thing.

The free version worked well to create my 8-page website. Thanks to developer for supporting those old OSX versions.

I published the project site locally to manufacture the HTML and CSS pages, then uploaded that site with Filezilla.

When re-opening my first project after shutting down the computer, I was aghast to see that only the main page had a tab, the others were not showing. I found it necessary to double-click follow-on pages in the project tree to get them to show on a tab. I can see that for a larger project this might be considered a feature.

Hyperlinks work well, anchors work too. The one thing that may disturb is the lack of fine control on position. Arrow keys do push objects around. But based on page size, 1 percent vertical and 1 percent horizontal is the smallest movement available. For some positioning, this may not be acceptable.

I know that the act of reading is not considered important these days. For goodness sake people, the developer clearly states on his website that this program is not an HTML editor. You would have known that if you had bothered to click on the help section of the app. The developer cannot help you if you don't even bother to help yourself, by reading the instructions.

This app does exactly what the website description states it will do. Nothing more, nothing less.
