[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 994099"] iWeb makes HTML/CSS et al obsolete for people who just want to put up a simple, nice-looking personal web page or web site. If your ambitions stretch much beyond that, iWeb is not the tool for you. What it does, it does very nicely. What people try to make it do is embarrassing and hideous. :) I would argue (to the horror of people who have made the effort to learn HTML etc) that for most basic types of web page, there is ZERO need to learn HTML et al. If not iWeb, then RapidWeaver, Freeway, Sandvox ... even Dreamweaver ... all try to keep the hard-coding business to a minimum. Templates are like dresses. There are lots of nice ones out there and most of them fit most people. But if you need something custom-fit, or have fashion ideas outside the mainstream, you have to learn how to make it yourself.
