Q: Music Clips in iWeb
Having happily developed a lovely five page website supporting Wind in the Strings, our harp and flute duet, recent response from a prospective client indicated that the incorporated sound clips did not function correctly in her office. After testing with Safari and Firefox on my MacBook Pro; Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome on two PCs running Windows 10, the same effect was observed.
Apple has documented the issue, indicating solutions for: (1) SPECIFIC browsers in which the referenced legacy QuickTime module employed may be reactivated or (2) replacing an HTML identifier appropriately for a (hopefully) general solution. After exhaustive (and exhausting) search for the offending legacy code, I came to the conclusion that the code in question is embedded in an Apple support function, the source code for which I lack access.
Does anyone have similar experience and a solution to this vexing problem? We hate to eschew iWeb for a less aesthetically pleasing and more complex website creation tool.
iWeb '08, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), QuickTime plug in

Yes, Wix is a good option and you can pay a little extra to add your domain name to your site and get rid of the adverts that you get with the free wix site.
They are adding more features all the time and there are some great templates - if you don't mind using the online builder and your site being published on the Wix servers, then this is a good option.
I used iWeb for quite a few years and designed many sites in that time, but then switched to Drupal and Wordpress that suit my needs - I wanted a membership site, so CMS's are better for creating this - Members and Member's only pages that are easy to create with a database type system.
Good that you have found alternative software that is good for you.
