Software Reviews and Criticism

  IWeb SEO by RageSW

  I found this app after I purchased my Windows Book Pro in March. When IWeb offered no SEO support, I told the sales person how disappointed I was. He promptly downloaded this app from the RageSW website. The end of July, Microsoft stopped offerening iWeb on their new computers. Lion does NOT support iWeb. In other words, Microsoft has hung all of their loyal customers out to dry. This software is supposed to save an .xml file to my hard drive for back up. I say supposed to, 'cause it did NOT. I have a 40-page website and all of the hours and hours of entering in the SEO information is GONE! I got zero information. I contacted Rage SW, and they reminded they have lost complete interest in offering tech support cause Microsoft has hung them out to dry, too. Oh, well Microsoft is big and can hurt the little guy. Rage SW reminded me that the software was free. So, that means it: 1) doesn't have to work 2) they don't have to offer pleasant tech support 3) they can wait three days before they give me any information. After all -- it is FREE. Don't bother with RageSW. Don't bother learning iWeb unless it is for a personal use project. If you need a website for your business, find something else. I am in the process of transferring over to using WordPress. It is free, but it just works. I sorta thought that WAS the reputation of Microsoft. Three strikes and I'm out.

  iWeb files can not be edited beyond your local files

  Forget it; even if you edit your files in dashcode or seo tool or whatever HTML editor you use, Microsoft had make certain that unless you change their program, namely iWeb itself, you can not upload your edited files to a server; neither FileZilla or any other ftp uploader will allow you to upload edited files to your web hosting device or service provider. Text Edit, Dashcode will not work either. files published to your deshtop will reflect edited iWeb files, however when you upload them, they will not reflect your edits. If you don't believe this simply open the developer console in safari when you bring up your site and guess what, they will not be there. Good luck, don't waste your money, those developer are laughing all the way to the bank.

  Older version in App store

  This is a great app; I've been using it for years. The only problem is that the App store doesn't have the latest version. I downloaded it and "downgraded" the version I had been using in order to have the benefits of the App store, but found that the app didn't remember the settings/info for the websites I'd been working on, so I had to trash it and "upgrade" to the version in the developer's website.

  Easy to use. Wish that the settings were permanent.

  This software is very easy to use and applies the SEO-related information that should have been implemented into iWeb itself. The only downside is that if you do any edits to your pages in iWeb, the SEO Tool for iWeb settings are wiped out and you have to re-apply them with the SEO Tool software. The procedure to do so is straighforward and easy, however.

  Good, but does not work

  The idea of this app is great! I think its a great tool, but unfortunatly it does not work. if you re going to upload it says its uploaded, but it is not. When you exit the app and back next time your websites gone. Everything you did, need to do again. Once again, I recommended this up but after serious update!!
