I LOVE iWeb. Any profissional Graphic Designer that uses iWeb?

Hello to all my fellow iWeb lovers.

I am a professional freelancer graphic designer, and I used Dreamweaver + Flash like since 7 years ago.
I just discovered iWeb and I am AMAZED how the simplicity and intuitiveness of this marvelous humanized Apple software.
If you debate with any Nerd or Geek he will try to convince you that iWeb is for amateurs, not a "real" software and you need always the correct tool, bla bla bla. They are always focused on PURE technology - pure techies.

Being a graphic designer myself, I see CLEARLY I can develop websites to small/medium business owners, faster, easier, and more HAPPY that another pure techies software. At the moment I am developing a Joomla website for a client, of course on those specific situations I can't use iWeb, but for majority of websites situations I see clearly that iWeb does the job wonderfully.

I made this post to share my happiness about the discovery about this brilliant very humanized app, and to ask if there are any fellows here who are graphic designers too using iWeb. I searched a bit, and I don't see any graphic designer assuming their love to this software to conceiving websites.

I am a graphic designer that in this moment is in love with iWeb.

Thanks

No, you are trolling here and getting the answers that you seem to want people to give you. Reece summed up your post pretty well. As you like using outdated software and hope that other Professionals will come on board and say 'me too' so you can feel reassured in swapping your 7+ years of expertise in Dreamweaver for the love of using a program which has been long since discontinued, then I do not know of any other answer that we can give. Just keep using it and don't expect other 'Professionals' to follow in these ancient footsteps.

Cheers

Pete

I am not trolling anyone, I have more precious things to do with my time instead to be like a 12 years old kid and coming to the Internet trolling people.
Yes that's true, I am wishing there are "here" some profissional designers, that's what I've written on the thread topic - I think that was clear.
I appreciate your help, but I just asked for a genuine opinion about that SEO Software, why are you replying trying to be funny? If you don't know any useful answer, why keep answering with no useful answers? Please, this is enough.

Thanks

I'm not trying to be funny. Your posts are irritating and serve no purpose.

You might not think you are troll but a troll is what you are by my definition.

Not only are your posts irritating, they serve no useful purpose.

I am not a professional, I do love my apple products and keep up with the latest offerings. I have used iWeb for many many years. I run a summer camp and do a lot of graphic designs for the camp. It infuriates my partner that I use iWeb as many here seem also seem upset about its use. However the stuff I make on iWeb looks as good and in some cases better than stuff from friends with "professional" software.

I am not here to knock you guys and your love of your chosen design software. I just find that iWeb is really understandable. Like any software I think it is more the person who uses it and the things they can do with it. I find that I can do a lot of things that people say that it can't be used for. I have found a way.Just because you have a high performance racer does not mean you can drive it well. I drive the heck out of iWeb and get some great stuff from it.

It may seem silly but I love it and hope I can keep on using it well into the future. However I know apple and they tend to stop allowing you to use some things when they feel like it's time has come.

Anyway, I second the main post. iWeb is great and ya, I do like outdated software. That isn't a crime outside of silicon valley.

That's true, that happens with me too. All Arts forms have to many techniques and only a few principles. What the majority of "professional designers" do is to focus on the techniques, the tools (Software).

Thanks for your reply!
