Every other computer design activity has easily convertible file formats. Only in website managers do we see this problem.
The worst problem is the dependency of the user on the platform. Most Apple products are pretty good, too, although Pages still suffers from some design confusion. There are a few applications that are well designed and I sing their praises: BBEdit, which I’ve been using for decades Pixelmator and OmniGraffle are two other excellent programs that have carefully-thought-out designs and work very well indeed.
USING SANDVOX WITH EXISTING WEBSITE SOFTWARE
But I should not have to tolerate gross design blunders, which are all too common in software these days. Granted, software is difficult to build having published some fifteen games in my time, I fully appreciate just how difficult it is to get a piece of software perfect. Most software is riddled with design mistakes and bugs. I am sick and tired of being subject to the incompetence of software vendors. In two cases ( RapidWeaver and WordPress), I chose to abandon ship. In most cases, I was forced from one website manager to the next by the vendor abandoning their software. I have forgotten how many website managers I have used over the last twenty years there have been at least six. I have been forced to hop from one sinking ship to the next. My resolution to that problem is based on many years of working with website editors. In effect, my parachute is on fire and will surely fail me at some point in the future.
USING SANDVOX WITH EXISTING WEBSITE UPGRADE
One of these days, Apple will release an operating system upgrade that will break Sandvox, and I won’t have a website manager. Unfortunately, Sandvox went bust last year, and the program is not being maintained.
The parachute I chose is the website manager that I’ve been using for perhaps seven years now: Sandvox. But I was only going to suffer more loss remaining with WordPress, so I had to bail out. In doing, I flushed $3750 down the toilet. After much moaning and groaning and hand-wringing, I decided that I had to abandon WordPress.
