So why should you even consider shelling out $60 more than TurboWeb for EverWeb?įirst, EverWeb boasts outstanding help files, including an extensive and well-written manual running more than 100 pages, along with handy video tutorials available right from the app's opening screen. It lacks TurboWeb's sizable stock image library, but makes up for it by automatically supporting any of Google's extensive library of free fonts, once you've downloaded and installed them on your Mac. And it shares TurboWeb's somewhat clunky approach to "responsive design," requiring you to create a whole separate set of mobile counterpart pages to those on your desktop site. Like TurboWeb, EverWeb offers a similar drag-and-drop interface (albeit without the handy grid or guides) and overall feature set, with the same limitations when it comes to customizing CSS style elements on your pages. It applies only to text - not images, buttons, or anything else - and offers no control over margins or padding.
And TurboWeb's ability to edit and apply custom classes is rudimentary at best. Responsive design support - allowing you to display the same pages differently on devices with different-sized screens - was rudimentary at best you can swap between desktop and tablet versions, but if you've finished creating one layout, you'll have to start all over from a blank page to create the other. TurboWeb's short list of font options can't be changed or expanded. I couldn't create a button with different active, hover, or default states. I couldn't get text to wrap around an image for the life of me. Nonetheless, TurboWeb fell short in a few key areas. The online help files are simple but sufficient as well. On the whole, TurboWeb does most of what you'd want it to perfectly adequately, including a bare-bones but functional way to upload your site to the FTP server of your choice (or sign up for TurboWeb's own recommended hosting provider). I also found it odd that I couldn't use any of the program's stock photos in its photo-carousel widget. That said, you can't search through those libraries from within TurboWeb, so if you've got a pile of pictures on your hard drive, be prepared to do a lot of scrolling until you find the one you want. I also enjoyed TurboWeb's instant access to my personal Pictures folder and iPhoto or Photos library. Unique among this lineup, TurboWeb boasts a huge, searchable library of royalty-free stock photos - a big help for zero-budget designers who want to spice up an otherwise text-heavy site.
