What kind of websites were you planning to build?

I am doing a website for my company to advertise its products, services, and to host a cloud service.

How did you hear about Sandvox?

I first saw information on Sandvox on MacSurfer.com. I got a beta release in the "early days".

What made you decide to get Sandvox?

I am a programmer for embedded systems but am not comfortable with the complex array of web technologies. I wanted something simple but still gives me the ability to alter the HTML source or to add in some PHP. I also wanted to be able to get a good looking template without having to hire a web developer. Sandvox Pro offers the best solution for my needs.

Now that you have Sandvox, what do you like about it?

I was able to produce a professional web site within 2 days. I got a great template (Blueball Pro Tabs) and quickly built the overall web site. I then took some existing PHP pages I had written for a cloud service and injected them into the "Cloud" portion of the site giving the cloud pages a professional look. Finally, I added Google analytics. What more could a company want? Very easy to do...and also to maintain!
