  "Safe, powerful, very reasonably-priced"

  November 23, 2010  |   By exitlang

  Version: Web Site Maestro 8.3

  Pros

  - made for beginners and pros
  - optimises scripts and images as well
  - makes a backup of your site before starting
  - cut 20% on average off my html pages
  - support is personalised and fast

  Cons

  - it takes a little while to set up and can be somewhat confusing at first, but when it's done, it's done!
  - I'm sorry I didn't find it sooner.

  Summary

  I have used Web Site Maestro on two sites that I manage for a couple of years now and it really has saved me a ton of work, besides which, the pages look great and load fast. Definitely worth the investment!

  "Complete waste of time and money"

  May 16, 2008  |   By mac44

  Version: Web Site Maestro 6.44

  Cons

  If you want to waste hours and hours of your time, and throw away 40 dollars, get Web Site Maestro. I have never used such a bad program. After almost two weeks of frustration trying to get it to work, I asked the author Ton Brand to refund my money. He refused and said "Let's both of us accept our losses and forget the whole thing. OK?" even though he guarentees his program and a full refund.

  This program claims to compress your iWeb files and then upload to a server. It does neither! Forget about compressing anything except compressing forty dollars into zero! It never uploaded the site either! Although iWeb, Fetch, and Cyberduck worked every single time with no errors. The author of the program blamed me when his program compressed 20 files on my desktop instead of the files in my iWeb folder. He told me the problem was mine. Here's what he said "When I look at your desktop on the screenshot I see a big mess (sorry)."

  I have been using a Mac since 1985. I have written successful programs for the Mac. Web Site Maestro is the biggest rip off I have ever encountered. Take my word for it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS USELESS PRODUCT!

  "a great product"

  Version: Web Site Maestro 4.3

  Pros

  Really easy to use with a great start up wizard. Configured in minutes and immediately worked as expected. User interface is well designed; its a pleasure to use a software product like this one which has an intuitive user interface. Product did exactly what I wanted it to do. A great product as far as I am concerned.

  Cons

  None that I could see
