Karelia Announces Sandvox 1.2.8

ALAMEDA, CA, USA, July 22, 2008: Karelia Software announces the release of version 1.2.8 of Sandvox®, its award-winning website creation software for Mac OS X, now with direct support for MobileMe.

Version 1.2.8 is a free update incorporating performance enhancements and improved compatibility with MobileMe, Apple's successor to .Mac. Sandvox 1.2.8 adds direct support for websites hosted through web.me.com, including MobileMe personal domains, and continues to support existing .Mac websites hosted at either homepage.mac.com or web.mac.com. Additionally, Sandvox's built-in media browser has been updated to include support for iPhoto Events and new Help pages have been added featuring MobileMe-specific information.

Sandvox features drag-and-drop website assembly, live editing without a preview mode, over forty stylish designs, and seventeen different pagelets. It's the easy, elegant website creation tool for people who want to spend time developing their lives, not their websites.

Sandvox 1.2.8 is available for downloading and purchase from Karelia's website at <http://www.karelia.com> in both Regular and Pro editions. Single-user licenses are US$49.00 and US$79.00, respectively. Household licenses (allowing multiple users in one household) and site licenses are also available. More than ever, individuals and businesses are seeking cost-effective ways to share their news with the world, and Karelia is pleased to be able to continue to offer improved performance and timely updates free to existing Sandvox users.

Sandvox 1.2.8, a Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel architectures, requires Mac OS X "Tiger" version 10.4.11 and above. Because websites have a global reach, so does Sandvox, which is also available in French, Italian, Danish, German, Japanese, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
