It looks again, dated in terms of devices, but no postings to the forum for couple of years

I use it. I've been busy at work and with a few other projects. I'll be using it in a few days on one project after I publish it.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

thanks for the response, Eric, just bought it on a special, again not fond of the UI, but it's "fun" to experiment with some of the more "professional" sites to see how they compare -- like a page from imdb.com -- and then see how one's "desired" page formats might perform in comparison

btw unlike a lot of third-party templates, the review for Death Wish did surprisingly well --- well done, imdb!

incidentally, the CC home page doesn't do too well :-(

I also found it interesting using it on other sites. I see others do what's really need for their target audience and leave the rest alone. I think some of these sites change on a more regular basis where my sites typically get built and left alone for long periods of time.

It also seems it's been shelved here at Coffeecup ... not one update since November 2016, even though there's enough to be working on.

I find they do it with all the programs...happened with the shopping carts, happened with web form builder, happened with websight insight.....there are very few updates and then after a couple of years they change software so you have to purchase again if you want the updates. I have purchased literally 100's of programs in my time and coffee cup definately update their programs the least, and change them the most to force re purchase.

I also find that once software is released there is very little new features added to what the software does before you need to repurchase. usually just a couple of fixes over a couple of years.

Sorry guys but that is my opinion.

I have to agree. I see so much potential in both Sonar and Website Insights, and yet they both have languished for years now. I'd frankly be glad for less bells-and-whistles and the pay-for-template routine we've gotten in, and more time spent maximizing the existing applications (and really fleshing out the components for Site Designer we were promised since Day 1). If there is any disappointment I have, as a user coming from Adobe Muse, it's that we're sorely lacking in plug-ins and components to add functionality.
