Q: EverWeb??

To Leo G Leduc and Joe Gramm.

To publish to a folder or your own server, you have the login at RageSW. Whether that is a one time event or not.

If you download the application to try it, you cannot publish to see the result. Because you have to sign in, which is only possible after buying the app.

Only preview is available. Which does not hurt me, because the preview is a fully functional Site that you can put on your own server.

Command-click the title of the browser window and move down a level. Voila, one website.

For the curious, here are pages made with :

iweb : http://egestas.sytes.net/Home.html

everweb : http://egestas.sytes.net/Ew.html

htmlegg : http://egestas.sytes.net/Egg.html

The everweb and htmlegg pages use the html code  + css file from the iWeb page and is inserted with a HTML snippet.

Then some colour correction is made for the colored areas.

The design is from a iWork Pages template.

I use the HTML code from the published iWeb page.

Each object (textbox, images) on a page has a div with a top and left position number.

Copy the code within that div and paste it in a Everweb HTML snippet.

Place the HTML snippets in the same location on the page.

Everweb will create a div with top and left position number, containing the copied code.

Then use the css file iWeb creates for that particular page in the pagename_files folder to keep the formatting. You paste the link to that css file in the Header Code box of the Everweb page.

Then keep moving the HTML snippet around on the page, to compensate for the slight differences after publishing.

Look at the source of the iWeb and Everweb pages to compare them.

I just installed EverWeb 1.6, and noticed in Preferences that there is a checkbox "Use Secure Publishing". Under it is this description: "If you have trouble connecting to your EverWeb account when publishing, deselect this option".

It looks like selecting this option means you don't have to log into the EverWeb site in order to publish your pages.

You should not have to log into the EverWeb site to be able to publish your site - you can publish your site standalone and in previous versions you had to publish to a local folder and then upload manually using Cyberduck, but they have built in ftp now that iWeb had.

If you want further information and clarification on this, why not post this question in the EverWeb forums?  This is an iWeb forum after all.

I agree with Ethmoid, the forums at EverWeb are great and very often it's the developer that handles your issue. Wyodor (above) is also there. I'm still liking Everweb, it's missing a few things, I'd love a blog function and they say they are working on it.

I'm not 100% sure about SEO with it (yes I watched the video) so far the websites I've done are for very unique, local businesses so they do well in search because of that. I'm just not sure when I look at the code if all the javascript and other stuff hurts the SEO of an Everweb site. For now, for me, it's exactly what I need.

Why do you think javascript would hurt your SEO?

I don't think that is something you have to worry about...

I didn't know there is a lot of it. Good then I won't worry about it.
