A lot of people who have a need for decent web sites but don't have a budget for them usually end up with something that simply doesn't carry much "Google Juice." Funny that since our friends with the funny name are essentially the holy grail of search. Most simple-to-use web design programs seem to ignore this fact and make poorly coded sites that make real web designers cringe.

Not Sandvox from Karelia Software. This affordable and easy-to-use program takes full advantage of the Mac interface while also incorporating all the search engine optimization functionality you need.

While there isn't everything you'd find in something like Dream Weaver, this program is also logical and makes sense. I own Dream Weaver too but more often than not I'm using Sandvox. It's simple, effective and lets me get the job done without navigating Adobe's byzantine menu and palate system. Yuck.

Here are some of the sites I've done in Sandvox for your reference:
