This design repository can be browsed for users to find the design that matches their needs, or monitored for new releases from third-party providers as they become available. In addition, a user-contributed exhibit of websites built with Sandvox is online, featuring over three hundred site submissions along with descriptions of their content and how they were built using Sandvox.
A Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel architectures, Sandvox 1.6 requires Mac OS X "Tiger" version 10.4.11, or "Leopard" version 10.5 and above, and is available in English, French, Danish, German, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Karelia Software is the California-based company that originally brought you Watson, the ground-breaking Macintosh Web utility, winner of the MacWorld "Eddy" and the Apple Design Award for "Most Innovative Application." Karelia is headed by Dan Wood and Terrence Talbot. We joined forces to create Sandvox when we realized that even for the technically inclined, it was just too painful to get words and pictures on the Web. - Alameda, California - Published on 06/08/09
