Disappointed



User: AJ E. 12 years ago
I was totally ready with credit card in hand to purchase a copy of EverWeb. Just wanted to checkout the free demo first. I thought EVERYTHING was awesome. Especially the way it allows you to create and save multiple websites. However, where it totally lost my faith and interest was with the absence of a very simple text feature called "justify" margins. Left, center, right just don't cut it for me. I'm sure there's some coding trick around this but one of the reasons why I loved iWeb was for it simplicity. I shouldn't have to try and figure out how to justify margins.., there should be a feature already designed to do it for me.
I don't get it. I there are minds brilliant enough to create this software then what would keep them from leaving out such a simple yet common feature. I don't fet it.
Anyways.., I'll stick with Quick n'Easy web builder for now.

Justified text is not recommended for use on the web. It won't be added to EverWeb anytime soon unfortunately.

Justified text is a technique used in print media- mainly for newspapers and magazines layouts - to stop narrow columns looking ragged.

It is not recommended in web design because it creates problems for those with impaired vision and dyslexia. This is caused by the fact that justified text increases/decreases the space between words and this random spacing makes the content more difficult to read in general.

For maximum readability, text should be aligned left in short paragraphs with no double spacing between sentences. Avoid serif fonts, italics and pure white backgrounds with pure black text. The ragged edge created by non justified text actually makes text far easier to read and understand.

Quite a few drag and drop style editors have been cloned from DTP apps - such as Apple's now defunct iWeb - and incorporate some features that are not appropriate for web page design.
