iWeb 09 is Apple's Web site design and publishing tool. With it you can lay out your Web site without knowing HTML or CSS, apply preconfigured themes, and publish the result through FTP to a Web hosting company. There's a lot of functionality built into iWeb 09, making Web design possible for those who are not technical.

The iWeb 09 interface is designed to guide you step-by-step through each part of the design process. Start by choosing a theme from a list of supplied templates, then design page by page by replacing placeholder content with your chosen content. You can add media from files or from your camera with automatic resizing. Customization of the templates is quite easy, using drag-and-drop. Add blogs and podcasts to your site with a click! There are some really useful layout capabilities as well as neat features like the ability to easily embed maps. Finally, publish to an FTP server or a MobileMe account. The entire process is simple and lets anyone design a Web site.

While the sites iWeb 09 provides are templated, the ability to customize reduces the cookie-cutter Web site design problem. We like how simple iWeb 09 is to use. Even someone with no experience in Web coding can create and publish a site in under 30 minutes. Sure, there are more powerful Web design tools on the market, but there aren't any as easy!

Very Bad Experience with iWeb
ArslanQamarFebruary 27, 2016
Pros
Please don't take services of this company.
Cons
Crushed Server Hard Disk
Summary
I have dedicated Servers on iWeb. Last week this company crushed my all data. when I tried to contact. they said because of our regular maintenance your hard disk is crushed. we are unable to recover your data. I have 10+ websites and I loss $5000+ because of this shit company. Even I try to contact company super visor they just apologize nothing else. I suggest to all users please don't take services of this company.
Had me excited then kicked me in the teeth

Pros
Pretty easy to either figure out yourself or find many user videos elsewhere online that explain how to do this or that.
Cons
Can't embed video! I can attach videos with ease, but it won't embed videos from another site, at least not in Snow Leopard.
Summary
There doesn't seem to be any answers online for problems like I had, and the ones that were even close were dated years ago and were no help at all. Am I really the first to mention this quirk? When trying to embed either my Youtube or Vimeo videos I either get a dead black square(even after trying 'publishing') or with the Youtube snippet it kept saying 'code was invalid'. Frustrating and maddening to no end! I suppose for anything else tho, this is a great way to make a site and make it look pretty darn good pretty easily. I wanted it for my videos tho, so it is totally useless. Uploading videos from my Desktop works sure, but that exponentially increases the space needed for a website and it's increased cost, so I have a great website builder that is now totally useless to me. Thanks Apple...
perfect for newbies

Pros
with a little practice you can create a very handsome website; it's also easy to alter and update it.
Cons
Apple is phasing this program out. Updates will no longer be offered, and eventually it won't work any more Pity.
Summary
Great For Easy Sites, But Not For Advanced Webmasters
unc2000October 30, 2011
Pros
-Easy to use drag and drop interface -Very customizable -Import media with the Media Browser in iLife -Publish to FTP server or local folder (MobileMe is fading, so that is not good for hosting..) -Takes very little time to make with the various themes -No knowledge of HTML, Java, or CSS required. -Makes embedding/using gadgets very easy
Cons
-Does not allow HTML editing; you must get a text editor, and revise after you publish the site -Can be fussy about opening a different Domain file than the one it usually uses -Sometimes loses items on the page when publishing -No drop-down menus
Summary
If you don't like to work with code, this is the perfect site builder for you. It's intuitive interface, drag and drop gadgets, easy publishing, and ability to do a lot of customizing is great. However, it is not good for a professional design suite (obviously). It does not allow coding, which can get annoying. All in all, a GREAT product for people to use to create easy websites. The Bottom Line: Does exactly what it's supposed to do, but it would be great if it could do a bit more complex things.
easy and simple

jbaconFebruary 22, 2011
Pros
Ease of operation - if you can master Keynote, you can master iWeb.
Cons
Rotated pictures' shadows don't rotate with the picture.
Summary
A good program that allows a novice to make some good-looking web pages.
Needs an update!
justbob_dotmacJanuary 21, 2011
Pros
Very easy to use web site creation software.
Cons
Hasn't seen an update in maybe three years.
Summary
Would love it if Apple would update this program. It is very quick and easy to use. Lay out web pages in a jiffy. Trouble is, you cannot modify the automatic links it creates, not even to change their color. No site-wide style sheets. No drop-down menus. No image switchers. No lightbox-type effects. A little tweaking would bring this program up-to-date. Please, Apple?
Flawless !

Pros
Simple, straightforward and very easy to use. Great integration with iWork and the web page is very easy to update.
Cons
No issue so far on my iMac with Snow Leopard.

Re: UNEXPECTED PERMISSIONS CHANGE
Mac BakewellSeptember 12, 2010
Pros
Haven't even launched iweb update yet
Cons
Same as dpmiller on September 7, 2010
Summary
After update of iWeb 3.0.2 - together with Safari 5.0.2 - Group permissions on applications folder have been changed from ADMIN read/write to WHEEL read-only. Easy enough to fix but grateful to dpmiller for posting as I was at a loss where this unsolicited change had come from! Hopefully Apple will read and remember that some of us are still using Leopard...
