But with the Pro edition of Sandvox, you get even more features and much more flexibility with your designs.

The Advantage of HTML Without Learning HTML

Many website creation programs provide snippets of HTML that allow you to add customized content to your website, but it's not always an easy process. With Sandvox Pro, however, you simply copy and paste these snippets directly into Raw HTML Pages or Raw HTML Pagelets to see immediate results. Doing this allows you to simply, and quickly, use the code provided by others.

Sandvox Pro also allows you to edit the HTML code that "backs" the content of editable areas of rich text with very few scripting restrictions.

Advanced HTML Support For Advanced Users

If you have experience and a vast knowledge of HTML, you'll enjoy the freedom of focusing on custom markup while letting Sandvox Pro manage the HTML that makes up the foundation of each page, pagelet, or collection. Using the Pro Edition's HTML editor window, you'll edit HTML or JavaScript with syntax coloring and you'll see your changes as they're instantly applied to the page. 

And as long as your host supports PHP, or another scripting language, you can easily enter these as well. To review the results of adding these scripts you just need to upload the website and view it from the host's server. 

Edit Raw HTML: Just click your mouse and you can choose any text element on a page, or in a pagelet, and you can edit it as Raw HTML. The Pro Edition's HTML editing capabilities let you easily:

  • Make adjustments to formatted text
  • Insert tables
  • Format bulleted lists
  • And work directly with the Raw HTML in many other ways

Raw HTML Pages and Pagelets:  Let's say you want to create a page or pagelet made up mostly of custom HTML. The Pro Edition's HTML editing window allows you to do this without modifying any of the page's or pagelet's other structure elements. You can also use the Pro Edition to further define the <head> and <body> tags of the Raw HTML, allowing you to create a completely customized page within your overall website.

Code Injection: For pages of your website that need HTML, JavaScript, or scripting code - such as PHP - inserted in specific places outside of the <body> text, The Pro Edition's Code Injection panel makes this process so simple - for any, or all the pages of your site.

HTML Validation: Incorrect HTML can cause your site to look different, or offer substandard performance, to your visitors. And although most browsers are forgiving of malformed HTML, some aren't and your visitors won't stay around to look at a substandard website. But, with the Pro Edition, HTML validation is simple because it's integrated directly with the W3C Validator.

Naked Content:  It's important for you to be able to understand how other machines - such as Google's indexer and accessibility equipment for the visually impaired - "view" your site. Sandvox Pro allows you to do this by letting you temporarily turn off CSS and see what the structure and content of your site look like without your styled layout.

Google Integration

Use Sandvox Pro (and an active Google account) to enable Google's integration tools and to easily:

  • Maximize the visibility of your site
  • Understand who's visiting it
  • Know where your visitors are coming from
  • Discover what's attracting them to your site
  • Know how long they're looking at each page of your site before they click away

All of these are important factors every website owner should know. That's why Sandvox Pro makes integrating Google's website optimization tools quick and easy.

Google Webmaster Tools: Sandvox Pro also makes it easy to use Google Webmaster Tools to verify ownership of your website with Google. Before you can configure how your website is indexed and notify Google of its most important pages, you have to understand how Google's bots evaluate your website. One of the best ways to make sure your site is accurately indexed by Google is to generate a Google Sitemap for your site.  The Pro Edition simplifies this process by building a Google Sitemap for you and even updates it every time you change your site. So, you spend your valuable time focusing on site content instead of on administrative maintenance.

Google Analytics: You want your website to be successful and to ensure its success you need to have certain pieces of information about your site and its visitors. Google Analytics is essential for gathering this data and can also provide GeoTargeting information about where visitors to your site come from; E-commerce Tracking to help trace transactions to specific promotional campaigns; AdWords integration; and many other tools. Google Analytics is a necessary tool for businesses and organizations that need to increase their bottom line in order to be successful. With Sandvox Pro, adding Google Analytics to your site couldn't be easier.
