Karelia Software Releases Sandvox 2.0.4

Sandvox 2 Now Introduced in German and Brazilian Portuguese


Alameda, Calif. - May 25, 2011 - Karelia Software today released Sandvox 2.0.4, an update to its award-winning, easy-to-use website building software for the Mac, now localized in German and Brazilian Portuguese.

In addition to localization in two new languages, Sandvox 2.0.4 is a maintenance release that includes fixes to reported issues, and is available free of charge to currently registered customers.

Sandvox 2 represents a huge leap forward for anyone using a Mac to easily create powerful websites. All websites created using Sandvox 2 automatically support the latest HTML5 web standard. Sandvox 2 introduced a completely new architecture and new editing engine, which allows customers to mix and match web page content "objects" in a much more naturally expressive and creative way.

Sandvox 2 also introduced a new design chooser and a much more powerful Inspector that makes it easy to selectively adjust page layout, modify objects, and apply modern page features. Sandvox 2 includes the latest version of the Karelia iMedia Browser, an open source contribution which is now a staple in many popular Mac apps.

For the power user, a new Raw HTML object handles direct placement, including live resizing, of any HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP or other inserted web code, such as popular embed codes provided by other sites. New plug-ins provide support for Facebook and Twitter. In addition, a plug-in API is now available for third-party developers.

All of the new features and improvements in Sandvox 2 are designed to give the modern website builder more flexibility than ever.
