An 11Mystics custom redesign of Clean Sheets to put the Sidebar on the left. Made with Sandvox 1.6 .
Intentionally stark - like a legal brief.

Working on a Sandvox 2 version that so far looks the same to me, since the recent betas.

I'm a real estate agent in Washington, DC, and if you're like me, you've seen a lot of canned Realtor websites. I migrated to Sandvox from iWeb and am getting happier al the time. I gotten tons of compliments on my website, and it's MUCH snappier than iWeb. Here it is: http://www.terrycarterdc.com/.

I've enjoyed others' web site here too, and am getting some good ideas! Thanks for submitting them!

Re: Got any cool sites built with Sandvox you'd like to share?

Hi all,

want to see a web site in German created with Sandvox?
Here is it:

http://www.regenbogen-kindergarten-buchholz.de

I switched from iWeb to Sandvox. For sure with some problems. Two big of them are still existing. Look e.g. to this page:

http://web.me.com/th10gt/Sandvox/ReBo/w … erin-.html

The font is awfull and I wasn't able to change it (even being in contact Heather Gosney from SV support). Any hint would be great.

In addition I want to create a site (like a guest book) where visitors can leave some comments. My feeling is, that that's possible with SV
but up to now I'm so silly and didn't found a solution...

Enjoy a German webpage!

As requested by a forum member, I think it would be great to see what sites people have been creating with Sandvox 2. I'll start: Karelia Software

Yes, it's an "upgrade" originally built with Sandvox 1 but starting to take advantage of new features. And lately we've been rev'ing it almost every day.

Who else wants to share? Reply to this or start a new topic in this area with the name of your site or its URL.

Well, work continues, but I have the basic structure down on all three websites I have migrated from iWeb.  They work, as far as I know, and although they need work I have redirected all my traffic to the new sites and placed notices on the MobileMe version that they will not be updated anymore. 

The three sites:

http://www.kermanyf.com
http://www.stpaultranquillity.com
http://www.panochecreekband.com

I'm afraid I'm not the 'artiste' that most of you are… but then, I'm only reaching out to a few people.. not the world.  - JamesJM

Same as above... moving slowly from iWeb with low traffic to new sites with SEO support - that seems to work well.
www.homeopaatti.eu
www.tulkkaus.com

and keep on working on them and about 3 new additional sites to come...

I hope this is to be the first of many sites to come, I'm using this one to sell an eBook that I've written.
Uses the Gravitas design from Blueball design.

Re: Got any cool sites built with Sandvox you'd like to share?

Interesting move from iWeb to Sandvox. With iWeb I always used blank pages and that let me make the site really like an example of urban sprawl...too difficult to focus on from a visitor point of view.
So now I am using a template and loving it.
http://www.humanrightscity.com

I love the hierarchal menus, the custom banner, the easy to make slideshows, the many templates. I would like the ability to make the custom banner disappear on some pages, and to be able to choose the color of the page more easily, but the person who is the "client" for this ( I am a volunteer) really likes the deep blue.

Hi Everyone

A new site:
I am a member of a 4WD club in New Zealand, and here is the site I built using the Blueball Shadow Blue design. This site is mainly photo based, there are heaps of images not only of our members trucks, but some wonderful scenic photos of our spectacular part of New Zealand.

Some previous experience with Iweb, but seeing that it's now a goner, I searched the internet thoroughly, and all roads led to Sandvox. A very special thank you to the Sandvox team who answered my questions and help me solve minor problems!

The service from Sandvox in my opinion is fantastic, and should be a careful consideration of anyone looking for this kind of product, there are many companies who 'take the money and run', but not here! All questions are answered promptly and politely with helpful suggestions.

Nice site and good to see a kiwi business and neighbour on here. I am a professional artist that messed around with Dreamweaver for too long. I've had my Sandvox site up for a year now and couldn't be happier - getting many compliments from my clients. David John, Arrowtown

Thanks David, so that's two Sandvoxers in little Arrowtown! I wonder if there's more?
Very impressed with your site, great layout and very high quality pics.

We have been using Sandvox for quite a while now, migrating from the old Frontpage!  Very easy to use and quick turnaround with any issues.

This is a work in progress as it's only about three weeks old.  I'm still coming up with conceptual changes.  I haven't sought search engine recognition or advertised the site yet.  Please feel free to offer any comments, criticisms, suggestions, etc.  Thanks!

Nice efforts put in designing the site. The explanation given on each topic is too short.

It looks like you may have an inactive link on your main Information page at the bottom:

"Service availability and prices"

You might want to check it. I am using Google Chrome

Re: Got any cool sites built with Sandvox you'd like to share?

Having originally used 'Myriad Galerie' software for my old site and the fact that it is no longer being supported by the developers I have needed to completely re-generate my site using Sandvox.

My site needed to primarily be a Gallery type site.

Obviously there is still some tweaking to do to my published site.

http://www.alresfordheritage.co.uk

After clicking "alresford photo collection" on the navigation bar I was led to a blank page: http://www.alresfordheritage.co.uk/alre … ollection/

Note: I did not follow the drop-down menu, I simply clicked the title above all the drop-down options.

Joseph,

Thank you for your valuable feedback about my site. I did mention that I still have some 'tweaking' to do.

I can see exactly what you are referring to regarding clicking on "alresford photo collection" on the navigation bar and being led to the blank page. However the drop down menus under this heading appear to be doing exactly what they should be doing.

Obviously I have something slightly wrong here that now needs addressing if possible.

Can anyone offer any advise as to what I have done wrong with the construction of the "alresford photo collection" page and it's drop down menus?

Re: Got any cool sites built with Sandvox you'd like to share?

Just answering my own question really.

Appears the problem is because I have placed no actual content in the "alresford photo collection" page.

Re: Got any cool sites built with Sandvox you'd like to share?

Is the web site http://schwartz1949.com made in Sandvox 2 or in RapidWeaver?

I'm in the process of converting our Russian travel portal into 2.0, but for now my academic website is fully 2.0:

http://schwartz1949.com

BTW, the Russian travel portal is http://itravelazbuka.com

That's exactly what I would've expected as a visitor. You did well.

Now with the list you have on that page, highlight the text, right click, and make them links to actual pages. This will provide two ways for navigation. More links also improve search engine optimzation.

Joseph,
I thank you for your time and suggestion which I have now taken on-board.
