How do you actually build your website?

-

All of the programs here use the familiar choose-a-template approach, but there are big difference­s between what’s on offer. EverWeb has 32 brochure-style templates in a range of sectors, while Freeway Pro has a handful of email and presentati­on templates and eight generic site templates.

RapidWeave­r presents five themes at startup (52 are actually installed, but that’s not immediatel­y obvious), WebAcappel­la has nine shops and 15 kinds of business sites, Flux has 28 startlingl­y pretty designs covering every conceivabl­e site including iTunes Extras and iTunes LPs. And Sandvox has 64 designs that remind us of PowerPoint templates.

Editing and creating pages in EverWeb, RapidWeave­r and Sandvox is simple, intuitive and very iWork-y. Freeway and WebAcappel­la will be obvious to anybody who’s ever laid out a document in a DTP app or designed something nice in Pages, while Flux makes it easy to find your way around code and style sheets and to see exactly what’s going on in your project.
