Apple Working on iWeb Pro?

Thursday April 26, 2007 10:05 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
According to an unconfirmed report, Apple is working on a higher end web authoring application to complement iWeb, much like they've provided a range of software applications for other aspects of the iLife suite.

"iWeb Pro" is said to offer an easy to use web authoring interface for small to mid sized companies. While the current version of iWeb is more of a complementary tool to .Mac, "iWeb Pro" is said to be a complete stand alone product. That said, tight integration with Apples iLife suite remain an important feature, allowing easy publishing of multimedia content.

This is an otherwise unconfirmed rumor, but published on Page 2 for discussion/interest.

real rumors have been a bit slow, this was an anonymous submission, otherwise unconfirmed. so I don't actually believe it to be true... but that's what page 2 is for.

It's certainly not wholly implausible. We already have:

Garageband Logic (and Soundtrack too)
iMovie FCP
iDVD DVD Studio Pro
iPhoto Aperture

iWeb is actually the only iLife component that doesn't have a "Pro" counterpart.

Sounds good to me, just hope they can make it much more customizable then the original iWeb. Oh and the code better be a lot cleaner, iWeb spits out a mess of code. Apple should release a Master Collection like Adobe did. Imagine: Final Cut Studio, Logic, Aperture, and iWeb Pro for $2499.99. :D

This would make sense. Logic FCP and Aperture are basically iLife Pro, why not have an equivilant for iWork?

Not true. iTunes doesn't have a pro version for that guy that has 200,000 tracks in his music library and has to wait 3-4 minutes just for the info window to open. :P

Ha, he was running Windows didn't you see!! It only took 30 seconds on his Mac. Not that that's fast...

Anyhoo I think it'd be nice but it would be so hard to compete with dreamweaver and all else that is out there!! What would make it so good and different?

iTunes is not part of iLife. So True :rolleyes:

If you're going to have 200,000 tracks in your music library you'll need that 3-4 minute wait to decide on what to listen to. :D

Also not true.

At Apple's iLife page, it clearly states (in a small footnote ;) ) that "iLife also includes iTunes 6". Steve Jobs has also said this many times during his keynotes on iLife.

Makes me think of Coda, but more WYSIWYG.

I hope it's true. Coda is great, but competition makes everything better.
