Zarra Studios releases iWeb Buddy, the post-processor for iWeb

Zarra Studios releases iWeb Buddy, the post-processor for iWebiWeb has always been great a what it does, but it doesn’t do much for running a real site. For my grandmother who may want to publish some family photos online, it’s great. iWeb Buddy is a post processor app for iWeb. This Mac application is designed to add more features and functionality to iWeb. A big feature of this brand new app is the ability to have multiple domain files with iWeb. This will enable you to have iWeb keep your sites in separate files. In addition, it also has some neat features such as Mint and Google Analytics integration, an option to add Social Bookmarking buttons, commenting and custom HTML code.

Zaire Studios says that you can “With iWeb Buddy, a user can monetize their websites.” The explained this by the ability to have shopping carts with the custom html code feature. I personally don’t feel that the app is worth your $29, and you could do much more with Wordpress for free. Wordpress plugins can expand functionally of your site without even needing to code. Good attempt to expand iWeb, but it just doesn’t have enough features for your cash.

  • Actually, multiple domains is not a primary feature of iWeb Buddy.  What iWeb Buddy does is save the user time.  While Word Press is a great product, it is not for everyone or even for most people. 

    As the old saying goes, Word Press is free only if your time has no value.  It takes time and expertise to set up a Word Press site.  Both of those increase with the complexity of the site.  For many people there is not an acceptable return on that time invested.  Therefore they use iWeb instead.

    For those who want a website but do not want to code HTML then iWeb is a great product for them.  For those who want some additional features that iWeb does not provide (Social Bookmarking, Google Analytics, etc.) then iWeb Buddy is the perfect companion product.
