Sandvox is a WYSIWYG template-based website creation tool by Karelia Software, based on WebKit. Released May 16, 2006, it competes directly with iWeb and Realmac Software's RapidWeaver. Sandvox can be purchased with either a regular or pro license. The pro license includes additional features, such as the ability to include raw HTML pages and "pagelets" within the created website, along with Google Webmaster Tools integration. In 2007, Sandvox 1.2 won the runner-up Apple Design Award for Best Mac OS X User Experience. Overview and features Sandvox is a website and blog creation tool.
