If you’ve created Web sites in iWeb, you may be interested in the latest free update to Karelia Software’s Sandvox Web site creation tool. Version 2.6, which launched Thursday, adds a new “Extract Content of Website” feature that should help you.

iWeb was Apple’s Web publishing tool included as part of iLife. It made it simple for users to create simple Web sites, which they could upload to their MobileMe accounts or – eventually – to other sites. But MobileMe goes away at the end of the month, and as a software application, iWeb is moribund – Apple hasn’t updated it significantly in several years.

So what’s an iWeb user to do? Sandvox’s new extraction feature looks at the published Web site URL, analyzes the site’s principal content, then creates a new Sandvox site document that approximates the original.

Karelia president Dan Wood explained that iWeb is proprietary and uses a unique page layout structure, so there’s no way to “precisely and directly import an iWeb site into Sandvox.” But this feature saves users the time and trouble of manually extracting page content into a new Sandvox template for later use.

The new release also adds Japanese language localization.

Sandvox 2.6 is a free update for registered version 2 users. It costs $80 and is available either from Karelia Software’s Web site or from the Mac App Store.
