Comments on: Sandvox – a WYSIWYG Web Editor http://macsaregreat.com/?p=26 celebrating Mac computers Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:46:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Steve Rider http://macsaregreat.com/?p=26&cpage=1#comment-53 Steve Rider Thu, 24 Aug 2006 14:24:20 +0000 http://macsaregreat.com/?p=26#comment-53 The way I'm using Sandvox now is to create a template for a site and generate a set of pages, it does this very well. For sites that require the insertion of PHP or other types of code that run as a page is served I'm then modifying the pages created by Sandvox in Dreamweaver. This is largely because I have many years experience with Dreamweaver. You can see a site I just made this way using Sandvox to create a template and Dreamweaver to touch up the code at http://AtheismRocks.com/ I think you would be able to use the Pro version of Sandvox to insert custom code into pages, but if you really need to generate a lot of dynamic pages I'd look at another product. The Mac version of Dreamweaver is as buggy as all hell, but you could use it. Another option might be a program I just discovered last night called Style Master. After a brief look at their demo I was impressed. Let us know what you end up doing, please.

I have a PayPal verified account, and have read up on how to make buttons and to insert the HTML. I have done some html in the past. Questions: 1. Will it be easy for me to use Sandvox Pro and insert the html for the buttons next to each item for PayPal? 2. As I have a verified PayPal account set up to work with my bank account, I should not have to use any other merchant accounts etc...am I correct? 3. In general, how do you think it will be to create an e-Commerce page with Sandvox? (I love the fact that it is user friendly with a Mac, and that I can work as long as I like on the page before having to publish it or commit to a hosting provider.) ******Below is what Sandvox responds to this question in FAQ. Can Sandvox support e-commerce, dynamic content, etc.? Sandvox generates static content, so e-commerce and dynamic content are only available by using the custom HTML pages and pagelets (Pro version only). However, you can put server-side scripting constructs like PHP in your custom HTML pages and pagelets if you're familiar with these constructs and if your ISP supports them. Additionally, you can insert custom elements and pre-content preludes (useful for setting cookies or authentication). Thanks and please let me know what you think.
