Design the website you’ve always wanted.

A Mac and iWeb ’09.* That’s all you need to design and publish your own personal website. Start by picking an Apple-designed theme. Each theme comes with coordinated fonts, backgrounds, and colors to give your site a consistent look throughout.

Next choose a page template. iWeb features ready-made templates for welcome, about me, photo album, movie, blog, and podcast pages. Create as many pages as you like.

Then it’s time to customize your layout with easy-to-use iWeb tools. Drag in photos or movies or type text into placeholders. Resize and rotate photos. Create overlays. There’s no coding required. No complicated design programs to buy. No obstacles between you and a great-looking website.

Choose a theme.

Start with an Apple-designed theme, then type over placeholder text and add your own photos, movies, and more.

If you share lots of photos and movies on your website, iWeb also includes My Albums pages that collect all your media albums on a single page — so they’re easy to share and to browse.

The iWeb Widget Browser puts every widget within reach. All you do is drop the widget you want anywhere on your page.

Manage and publish your way. Updated

Publish your website the way you want, wherever you want, directly from your Mac. iWeb ’09 makes it easy. It takes just a few clicks to publish your site to MobileMe or any other hosting service via FTP.

iWeb uses your MobileMe account information from System Preferences to publish the site. Rather use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to publish to a different hosting service? With the built-in FTP support in iWeb, you can do that, too.

Manage multiple websites in iWeb with ease. Use the iWeb site organizer to reorganize, rename, or delete individual pages or entire websites. iWeb creates navigation menus for each site. And you can publish one site at a time — either to MobileMe or to another hosting service via FTP.

Publish your website.

Publish your site to MobileMe with a click or publish to any hosting service via FTP.

Simply link any iWeb site to your Facebook account. Following an update, iWeb adds the changes to your profile, alerting your friends and providing them with a handy link.
