I've used WebDesign from the beginning. Now I can't get along without it. This last version doesn't solve any problems I've had,but thanks for continuing updates.

I've used Webdesign for about five years now. It's served it's purpose well, improving with each revision. It's still got a few annoying little bits (the occasional spelling error in the dialogue boxes for example) and a couple of other features but for the price, it's great value.

Earlier versions may have had speed issues however on my ibook G4 (1.33GHz) it's not a slouch. This new version has speeded up loading and responsiveness too.

As a complete package (ftp browser, site management app, the ability to write your own plug-ins etc), Webdesign continues to serve me well.

I'd reccomend this app...

It doesnt do quite everything I'd want but its probably the best all-rounder out there, i don't personally use the web-site manager or many of the more complex tools webdeisgn offers as i code only by hand and upload with an ftp package.

But for anyone wanting to learn html i'd reccomend this app - the tutorials are excellent, so if your starting out go take a look at the rage site as you don't need to buy the app to use them.

There are other editors out there (freeware included) that are worth a look at Taco is good but lacks support for xhtml and i find TextWrangler a little bit too complex for my needs - all in all considering the low price of WebDesign and the fantastic support they offer i think its well worth it.
