What kind of websites were you planning to build?

My goal was to build a single website that would serve primarily my academic needs course syllabi, readings, professional dossier, publications etc, as well as a personal link of two pictures of my son.

How did you hear about Sandvox?

I had never heard of Sandvox until I began to do some internet research into web-design software.

What made you decide to get Sandvox?

I chose Sandvox first because the price was not exorbitant and because the interface appeared simple and straightforward. I did not want to spend hours learning to use a program. HTML is great but time consuming for most of us, and Sandvox offers an easy and stunning alternative to more involved design packages.

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

The great advantage of Sandvox is ease of use. I was up and running in a couple of hours, and since then, I've continued to add page upon page, developing the visual appeal of my site and carefully choosing photos that related to my field and appeal to my visitors. I've also added greatly to the number and quality of resources on my site, and I hope to keep building. For the average user, there's really nothing that Sandvox can't handle, and at the end of the day it's just fun.

What would be a good way to search for a program like Sandvox?
