The app’s ease of use comes from all the built-in components that make setting up a website with rich media and great typography a snap. Sparkle for macOS is about building entire websites, not just individual pages. For example it’s easy to share your site header or footer across multiple pages and integrate analytics.
A modern website is more about the structure and content than about a “theme” or “template”, but a blank page can be daunting. "This is why we launched sparklecafe.com to feature beautiful designs you can work with, and we have just added a bunch of new designs sporting 2.0 features."
Note: Limited functionality in the unregistered version. Requires 64-bit processor.
