Worried iWeb is going away? Want something more powerful but just as easy to use? Check out RAGE Software’s new EasyWeb website builder.

Currently in beta testing, EasyWeb boasts some exciting new features, a beautiful new interface and some update website themes.

Check out the “What is EasyWeb” video below for a sneak peak and join the Facebook group to follow development.

The iWeb replacement app that has been buzzing in the iWeb community the last month or so will be called EasyWeb. This is according to an email sent out by the developers of the iWeb replacement.

The email also let us know that EasyWeb will be shown at MacWorld 2013, so if you will be in the bay area at the end of January, you can get a firsthand look at EasyWeb.

The email also gave the Facebook page for EasyWeb, where users can interact with one another and ask any questions they may have about EasyWeb.

I was able to speak with the developers and here is my insider knowledge on EasyWeb:

1) It is very similar to iWeb in the sense that it is pure drag and drop style website building.

2) iWeb lacked search engine optimization features. EasyWeb will have these features built in.

3) There will be more widgets to work with.

4) There will be better, more modern templates.

5) You can create multiple sites easily.

All of this is really exciting news! I can’t wait until we get to try EasyWeb out. In the meantime, head on over to the EasyWeb Facebook page to learn more.

A few weeks ago we had a discussion on what we would like to see in an iWeb replacement. We got some great suggestions and feedback and even people wondering if iWeb will be updated or re-released in some way.

Well today I’ve got some super exciting news to let you all know about. An iWeb replacement app is on its way.

Yes you read that right! We’ll soon be using an actively developed web site building tool that is very similar to the iWeb we know and love. I’ve actually seen it with my own eyes and it looks fantastic.

I can’t say whether it’s a new application or if Apple sold iWeb to another company but I can say we’ll all soon be back to using a web site building app we have loved for years.

What a great way to start the Holiday Season off!

We are all very upset by the fact that iWeb will no longer be updated. If an iWeb replacement or alternative website builder were to be released, what are the features that would be most important to you?

Please post in the comments what features that currently exist in iWeb would be essential for you to continue building your website.

Is it the ability to drag and drop objects anywhere, image galleries, podcasts, pre-built themes, blogging features or something else?

iWeb users can create a mobile version of their website in iWeb. The tricky part is getting the iPhone or Android phone to recognize that the user should be directed to the mobile version of the site. The tutorial below will show you exactly how to setup your mobile website from A to Z. The video requires users to have a web hosting account with RAGE Web Hosting in order to follow it completely. Hope everyone finds this tutorial well and are able to make awesome mobile versions of their iWeb sites.
