I hear that longtime Mac-based web design app, Sandvox, may be coming to a close. I’ve used it for over a decade and would love to have a new mac-based web design app where I could import most of my work to continue my site.
Does Sparkle allow you to import like Sandvox did for iWeb many years ago?
I fear, Sparkle does not the same as you might have experienced from Sandvox. But I did come from Sandvox as well, and I can tell you, that you will have not much work to build up the same as you did with Sandvox, but much better.
So, I would like to encourage you to switch to Sparkle, you will not regrett that decission.
@timben, Welcome onboard! I’ve never used Sandvox but I do know you can import the pages of a Sandbox site (in fact any sort of website) into Sparkle and it will do a really accurate job of it…
I just recently transitioned from Sandvox to Sparkle. I can tell you that it has been a great experience. Sparkle is very easy to learn and use. Its functionality is way above anything Sandvox can provide - especially these days. It has helped me construct very easily what I consider to be a great website.
I’m moving my sites from Sandvox to Sparkle. I’ve tried the import function and didn’t care for it. Easier to start your layout in Sparkle. I’ve been dragging and dropping images from my published site, pull the text off, reformat and go. I did download several of the free “templates” to see how pages were made, spent a hour looking at the documentation. Sparkle is smartly constructed, it’s a “place elements on a grid” as opposed to Sandvox’s template approach. If you know what you want to do it’s a freeing experience when compared to Sandvox.
