Apple's iWeb is the easiest way to create and publish great-looking websites. You see what each webpage will look like as you work on it; you don't have to know anything about programming or web-authoring languages such as HTML.

After you have created your pages with iWeb, instead of publishing your site to MobileMe, you can publish your site to a folder on a local destination (your hard disk, for example), then you can use iWeb Valet to enhance in many ways your iWeb pages, and finally have your website uploaded on a FTP server.

iWeb Valet features will allow you to:• Personalize iWeb page titles by adding a prefix of you choice.
• Add a favicon to your iWeb HTML pages.
• Disguise spam bots by encoding all email address in your iWeb pages, so that the email couldn’t be picked up by these bots.
• Add META tags to provide more information about yourwebpages and gain a top ranking on crawler-based search engines that support tags.
• Change the maximum size of all JPEG images of your site simultaneously and very quickly.
• Apply a fixed compression ratio to all JPEG images of your iWeb site folder, to save space in your web server.
• Add to your iWeb site folder other folders and files not managed by iWeb (favicon, programs, documents, etc.)

And after those changes, iWeb Valet can quickly upload the contents of your iWeb folder to a web site via FTP, with:
• Size comparison files check: iWeb Valet will only upload files that have changed (or new files). This saves time, because you will avoid, whenever you make a single change in iWeb, to re-upload the entire site.
• Option to remove the files in the destination when correspondent file is not present in the source directory, in order to save space in your web server,which will provide more room for documents as your site expands.
