Apple iWeb for Mac

Publisher's Description

From Apple Inc.:

Just browsing? Not anymore. Time to build your own home on the Internet with iWeb, the newest addition to the iLife family.

Featuring a shiny bunch of Apple-designed web templates, iWeb makes web design a drag-and-drop endeavor. Choose your template, pick a page type — blog, photo album, podcast, movie — and open the built-in media browser to drag in all your iLife content. The latest episode of your GarageBand podcast. Your iPhoto wedding album. The travelogue you edited in iMovie. Whatever you create, you can put it all on your new website.

From there, things get even easier. Add blog entries just like writing an email, pop in a link or two, preview your navigation menus, or drop in a site counter. With iWeb, what you see is what you get. And what you get is a wicked-cool website that’s 100% you.

When the time comes to share your site, click once to publish everything to your .Mac homepage. That’s it. No server configuration, no hassle.

What's new in this version: Addresses issues related to publishing and blogs. It also addresses a number of other minor issues.

    "Great For Easy Sites, But Not For Advanced Webmasters"

    October 30, 2011  |   By unc2000

    Version: Apple iWeb 3.0.4

    Pros

    -Easy to use drag and drop interface
    -Very customizable
    -Import media with the Media Browser in iLife
    -Publish to FTP server or local folder (MobileMe is fading, so that is not good for hosting..)
    -Takes very little time to make with the various themes
    -No knowledge of HTML, Java, or CSS required.
    -Makes embedding/using gadgets very easy

    Cons

    -Does not allow HTML editing; you must get a text editor, and revise after you publish the site
    -Can be fussy about opening a different Domain file than the one it usually uses
    -Sometimes loses items on the page when publishing
    -No drop-down menus

    Summary

    If you don't like to work with code, this is the perfect site builder for you. It's intuitive interface, drag and drop gadgets, easy publishing, and ability to do a lot of customizing is great.

    However, it is not good for a professional design suite (obviously). It does not allow coding, which can get annoying.

    All in all, a GREAT product for people to use to create easy websites.

    The Bottom Line:
    Does exactly what it's supposed to do, but it would be great if it could do a bit more complex things.

    "It works, and its easy too!"

    Version: Apple iWeb 3.0.3

    Pros

    Very easy to use

    Cons

    no HTML tags leads to not as popular SEO.

    Summary

    I used this on www.wesellkingston.com and it works well on most computers. I will change to better software when I have time to learn CS5. If you are looking for a quick site with no hassle, this is the software you need.

    "Needs an update!"

    January 21, 2011  |   By justbob_dotmac

    Version: Apple iWeb 3.0.2

    Pros

    Very easy to use web site creation software.

    Cons

    Hasn't seen an update in maybe three years.

    Summary

    Would love it if Apple would update this program.

    It is very quick and easy to use. Lay out web pages in a jiffy. Trouble is, you cannot modify the automatic links it creates, not even to change their color. No site-wide style sheets. No drop-down menus. No image switchers. No lightbox-type effects. A little tweaking would bring this program up-to-date. Please, Apple?

    "Re: UNEXPECTED PERMISSIONS CHANGE"

    September 12, 2010  |   By Mac Bakewell

    Version: Apple iWeb 3.0.2

    Pros

    Haven't even launched iweb update yet

    Cons

    Same as dpmiller on September 7, 2010

    Summary

    After update of iWeb 3.0.2 - together with Safari 5.0.2 - Group permissions on applications folder have been changed from ADMIN read/write to WHEEL read-only.

    Easy enough to fix but grateful to dpmiller for posting as I was at a loss where this unsolicited change had come from!

    Hopefully Apple will read and remember that some of us are still using Leopard...

    "WARNING - ALERT APPLE - UNEXPECTED PERMISSIONS CHANGE"

    September 7, 2010  |   By dpmiller

    Version: Apple iWeb 3.0.2

    Pros

    I'm Working in a room full of Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs. After iWeb 3.0.2 install, Applications folder is locked. (Specifically, admin user permissions replaced by wheel user. I've replicated. Only seems to hit Leopard machines.

    Cons

    INSTALLER BUG

    Summary



    Updated on Sep 7, 2010

    OK, here's a followup. After update of iWeb 3.0.2 - alone or as part of a larger group of updates - permissions on applications folder have been changed. Even Admin users need to authenticate to add or remove items. Note that permissions of folders INSIDE the applications folder remain unchanged. Specifically, ADMIN user group, with read/write permissions is deleted and replaced with WHEEL as read only. East y work around by re-adding an admin group, but REALLY looks like it should not be happening. Have now confirmed on seven Leopard Macs, (6 intel, one PPC) - All running Leopard 10.5.8. Also have confirmed that bug DOES NOT occur in Snow Leopard. (Tiger can't run iLife 09 and iWeb 3, so bug not relevant.) If anyone has inside contact info at Apple, please let them know!

    Version: Apple iWeb 3.0.1

    Pros

    Not applicable.

    Cons

    Apple is forcing me to buy iLife if I want the updates to iPhoto, iWeb etc. Is this fair?

    Summary

    I am not in favor of Apple's marketing.
