  1. Very much agree, what iWeb does it does better than any other alternative but there are areas that it does not touch and restricts exploiting its usability in producing serious business sites. A few added features in the basic version or a more extensive prosumer version would really make it a serious contender. I do wonder however if because of the way lower end web creation is going that Apple will either turn it into a primarily web based solution or simply fade it out altogether. I do hope not.

    1. I think an iPad version would be nice, but the version could be too lean. Maybe, it could be a blog tool that works with iWeb and iWeb could be more of a cloud based approach allowing on the go updates.

      The rich blog capabilities of iWeb is unmatched in the industry, but it is static. A blog was to be dynamic otherwise you can not keep the information fresh.

  2. It is sad that Apple created such a potentially great and timely app, just when blogging took off, and then let it just languish for a couple years now with no development. Meanwhile exciting new technologies like Squarespace and Posterous have hit and made such an impact. Meanwhile the formerly cutting edge iWeb, which ships with every Mac, just limps along. I don’t get it.

  3. Apple has completely dropped the ball with iWeb. This program was so cutting edge upon release and now the world has completely bypassed it. I was shocked seeing this story on MDN, thinking that iWeb was updated. That would have been SO awesome. Sadly, that was not the case. How could Apple be so stupid with regards to iWeb? They have BILLIONS of cash in the banks. Spend a measly few millions and make the best damn web site app out there! The potential is just enormous, but Apple simply does not care.
