Seahorse (formerly Easy Website Pro)

Note: The app is no longer supported, so it is now impossible to purchase the application. Nonetheless, you can still download it from Softpedia and use it with the limitations listed on this page

Seahorse is a powerful application that enables you to create professional-looking websites in a few simple steps. It supports templates, background and foreground color customization, along with custom captions and links.

The program has a nice design applied to it, with all the main shortcuts and functions placed at the top of the main window.

With the built-in design option, different effects for the background, elements and text can be applied to help create a great-looking website.

The "Design" interface also permits you to change the layout, theme clip, and theme image (from many predefined templates). With the help of the "Element Preview" window, the changes can be seen in real time.

Logo creation is made possible with the built-in logo creator function from a template, that allows custom text and text colors. By accessing the advanced settings, user-defined values can be inserted.

The logo maker works very well with uploaded images, and they can be wrapped in borders and transformed into a specific dimension.

A web designer would probably appreciate the custom menu capabilities with link options, mouse-over animations and the use of different sounds.

The "Pages" section can adapt to specific needs, having a visual and code editor with extended functions like Flash, media, YouTube, PayPal, and hyperlinks.

You can also create beautiful intros and use many extras like CSS, HTML, meta tags, quick navigation and colored scroll bars, so every part of your website will come out exactly the way you intend to.

Seahorse starts the editing process from predefined projects. If other designs are required, they can be downloaded from the developer's website.

After editing, the webpage needs to be published. That is when the "Publish" function comes in handy,  since it sends your website to a local destination or a server.

At any stage of the creation process you can either open, save or create a new project, as well as use the integrated help documentation to answer any questions.

Seahorse is a great website editor that will reduce the duration of creating a new website from scratch by using ready-made starter templates and graphics. Because the user interface is simple, the program will not hog system resources, and it can be used even by users with no web design experience.
