Our first product, Watson®, was a groundbreaking web utility, winner of both a MacWorld "Eddy" and the Apple Design Award for "Most Innovative Application." Our current flagship product is Sandvox® 2, a pioneering website development application that won the runner-up prize for the coveted Apple Design Award for Best Mac OS X User Experience. Karelia developed Sandvox after hearing from friends and family — all too often — that creating a website was just too difficult or time-intensive using products already on the market. Sandvox addresses that need by making website creation for the Mac that's as easy to use as the Mac. Featured Guest Dan Wood A native of California now based in the San Francisco Bay area, Dan Wood is the father of two children, prefers bicycles to cars, and is involved in community groups. His commitments to simplicity, sustainability, and fairness inform his software development philosophy, as does his belief that communication—and making communication easier for more people—is vital to a more informed, active, and productive society. Before forming Karelia Software in 2001, Dan honed his software development skills in several contexts, including “classic” Macintosh and Java development at Bear River Associates and Electronic Arts.
