more Been using Sandvox for over 5 years. I needed a simple and intuitive website designer that I could use for a band website. It also needed to be simple for doing gig updates to the calendar and also allow adding media ( mp3 and video ) Sandvox does all that simply. When I started using it, I had no experience in HTML or website design. Got the program and 2 days later, the site was up and looked great. Doing updates are simple. You open the app, type in what you need, hit publish and the website is updated. I know there are other programs that are capable of more, but requires a steep learning curve to publish your website. For my needs Sandvox has delivered

I am recently having quite a bit of trouble with Sandvox. The developers apparently are not keeping it up with the more current Mac OS versions. Please help.I was a bit skeptical when I researched and first purchased Sandvox. I'm a college professor and primarily need to create individual pages to place in a course management system. I also have what used to be a very simple website where students can find textbooks, syllabi, schedules, etc. for the next semester before they gain access to the course management system. Creating individual pages are still probably best done with software like Word, Dreamweaver, SeaMonkey Composer, etc. However, my simple website has almost overnight blossomed into something I'm quite proud of because of Sandvox. I have developed a list of additional things I might incorporate into the site. When I get a few minutes (literally), I can add some of these things. I endorse Sandvox. I look forward to learning how to utilize this software more fully. I also anticipate even more utility in the future from updates.

I bought this a few years ago to replace iWeb, and it works reasonably well. It's certainly faster than iWeb became when my blogs became very large. A nit I have is that you can't change the theme of a blog on a page-by-page basis; maybe you have to create a whole new blog in order to change the theme.A big problem now is that it hasn't been updated for two years, as of the time I write this review, so it's no longer fully functional under macOS Mojave. There are small bits of the GUI that don't work, e.g. the New button doesn't appear in the toolbar; instead, I have to Insert > New Page from the pull-down. There are other bits and pieces that are similarly nonfunctional. The developer is also non-responsive to e-mails. According to a post on the Sandvox Facebook page, the company changed ownership some time ago, so that's that.

After the Apple blog program (can’t remember the name) went belly up, I chose Sandvox because it is designed for Macs, and I didn’t want a huge learning curve. It was bad enough that I had to rewrite our entire blog. I have been pleased that Sandvox has been easy to use. And when I needed customer support for something I needed to do on the blog, I got excellent help. The only issue I have with the program is that when I don’t use it for several months, it is very slow to load and very unresponsive - it tends to get hung up easily in those circumstances. Other than that I’ve been very happy wtith the program and would recommend ti to anyone who wants to do a blog.

Sandbox 2.10.8 brings macOS Sierra compatibility and bug fixes
2.10.8 09/24/2016
Sandvox 2.10 adds support for the all-new Sandvox Hosting service: The simplest, fastest way to bring your Sandvox site to life.
• Integrated: Sandvox Hosting is seamlessly integrated with Sandvox, making it super-easy and fast to set up and manage.
• Four Great Plans: Choose the one that suits your needs — whether you plan to have one website, or many.
• 14 Day Trial: Put it to the test with a completely free, no obligation 14 day free trial.
2.10 04/08/2015
Sandvox 2.9 makes it easy to add Vimeo videos to your site, and extends publishing to support FTPS and HTTPS protocols
SANDVOX 2.9.5
• Fixes a recently-discovered security flaw in the library used to connect to SFTP servers (libssh2)
SANDVOX 2.9
Objects
• New object for playing videos hosted on Vimeo
• Contact forms now have the “Send from Karelia” option checked by default if it had not explicitly been turned off before. This is to help reduce the number of messages lost due to mistyped “from” addresses or aggressive spam filters on the receiving end. A few Sandvox users may want to turn this checkbox off if they are relying on the old behavior for any mail-processing rules or scripts. (Or, better yet, update those mail-processing rules or scripts.)
• Corrects an issue where pasting or dragging pages to duplicate them could end up shrinking photos
Publishing
We’ve added support for additional publishing protocols:
• FTP with Implicit SSL
• FTP with TLS/SSL
• WebDAV with HTTPS
The full suite of protocols is available during Host Setup. If you’d previously chosen to publish to an FTP server, Sandvox will guess whether to use FTP or FTPS based on your previous preferences. If this guess is wrong, you just need to edit your Host Setup, selecting the correct protocol to use.
• SFTP and FTP connections are reused when possible for better performance
• When stopping publishing, the currently uploading file is allowed to finish first. Clicking the Stop button for a second time forces the upload to stop immediately
• Avoids the quirk where the publishing process of folders could appear to jump backwards and forwards for some time
• Fixes a crash when SFTP authentication takes too long
• Addresses an issue where the publish or export progress window would unnecessarily include an entry for the overall upload folder
• The dock progress indicator for publishing is working again
Browser Compatibility
• Allows IE 9 and above to play video and MP3 audio natively, not using Flash
• Fix to video/audio flash detection script
• Adds a margin below popup menus so that sub-menus taller than the content will not be cut off on Webkit browsers
• Improves compatibility of favicon images with Google Chrome
Document Handling
• Improves reliability of importing corrupted old Sandvox 1.x documents
• Corrects a bug where photo albums wouldn’t display titles after import
Raw HTML
• Smart-quote substitution is disabled in the Raw HTML editing and Code Injection windows
Other Changes
• Localization updates
• Improves reliability of re-opening Inspector windows at launch on OS X 10.7 and later
• Page file names are a little stricter, disallowing + and : characters
• Design fixes
• Resolves an issue where creating a link could result in the link's text being empty
• Restores “Paste Link” functionality
• Improves compatibility with OS X 10.10 “Yosemite”

• Addresses an issue pasting or dragging some pages containing images

SANDVOX 2.8
Retina Optimization
Sandvox 2.8 can automatically take advantage of high-resolution source images to optimize for display on Retina screen devices, whenever they are available. Controls for this have been added to the Appearance tab of the Document Inspector and Metrics Inspector:
• Dimensions are now measured in points instead of pixels (Retina displays contain 4x as many pixels as ‘regular’ resolution displays)
• If an image will appear at less than full quality (on either regular or Retina displays), a warning message will appear
• The Size button now acts as a toggle between ‘Retina’ & ‘regular’ quality, preventing over-sizing of images
When Retina support is turned on, Sandvox makes high-resolution images “retina-ready” so that people who view your website on Retina screens will see images that are optimized for their screens. This includes:
• Image objects, including logos
• Banners (your custom banners & built-in banners for *most* Designs)
• Photo Grid (including Gallery), Slide Show, and Titles & Summaries indexes
• Amazon Lists
• Badges & icons: RSS and Sandvox badges, and AIM Status objects (unfortunately not possible for other IM services at present)
Designs
• Two new included Designs: Hydrogen and Kryptonite. You can choose to use either a left-side Sidebar or a right-side Sidebar with Hydrogen or Kryptonite.
Social & Sharing
• Sharing Bar — A new Sharing Bar object can be added to the end of any page, bringing together all of our supported Sharing buttons in a neat, convenient row.
• Sharing buttons — including the Sharing Bar — are now organized into their own Sharing section of the Objects toolbar item
• Pinterest & LinkedIn — Support for buttons for both Pinterest & LinkedIn have been added. These buttons can be placed on any page
• Twitter — The Twitter button now features additional button types/options, including Hashtag and Follow
• Facebook — The Facebook button now supports many other configurations, including Like Box and Activity Feed
Objects

• Amazon objects can now open links in a new window

• When publishing media, Sandvox now replaces any spaces in filenames with hyphens instead of underscores
• Podcast RSS feeds now include images suitable for iTunes listings. The image for each episode can be previewed and changed using the Appearance tab of the Page inspector
