what is the replacement product for iWeb?

I am a current user of iWeb. I understand that iWeb is no longer an application suite. Could any recommend a product that provide a standard template as iWeb?


I really prefer an product that I can easily migrate my iWeb page into without major rework.


Thank you.

iWeb '08, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

After using my one and only MacBook for eight years, I finally discovered iWeb sitting down there in the dock. 😊 So, I tried it out and found it to be seemingly easy, even without reading many of the instructions. Still, I wondered if it was being used these days. The good posts/suggestions in this thread probably saved me a lot of wasted time learning iWeb and discovering it to be outdated unless you are some pro who has time and experience to make anything work better. I might fool around with it, but my first question was going to be where do you publish the finished Webpage. Since it is not going to be on an Apple host, I don't see the point in spending time on this dead application. Too bad Apple can't, at least, take it off iLife or whatever software they still sell or promote.

The top Content Management Systems that are widely in use are WordPress, Joomla and Drupal.


WordPress is widely used, but it is very likely that for a website such as Apple's, they could have used Drupal - there is more that you can do.


You need to search for themes and WordPress.org has many free themes that you can search for inside the installation itself. Drupal not so many, but you can do a search.


However, people use themes and adapt them for what they want and it is highly likely that Apple would have done this - you get a basic theme and you then adapt it for your own use by altering the colours - this means that you have to get in and alter the CSS code of the actual theme itself.


You also extend the content by adding what are known as Plugins in WordPress and Modules in Drupal.

I would suggest that you do some reading up about Content Management Systems and how they work before you install one of them. Drupal.org, WordPress.org and Joomla.org.

what woocomerce plugin can i use that is similar to Delivery and pickup options, shipping adress, payment and account of apple mac website?


If you're seriously thinking of making a serious e-commerce site then you really have a lot more learning to do, and it's not something you can fumble your way to via questions on a site like this. The security issues alone are enormous. You need a professional developer for what you're talking about.
