Welcome to the official website of Sandvox Web Designs. We have been hard at work over the last several weeks coming up with some new and professional designs for Sandvox. 


NOTE: This site is using a custom Design. Every part of this site was built using Sandvox PRO version 1.2.7


Mojo For Sandvox Now Available

The much anticipated Mojo Design is now available for Sandvox. This design offers a little more flexability than most of the other designs for Sandvox.


  • A Generous 960 pixel width
  • 13 Custom Headers created specifically for this design
  • A Set of Video Instructions that shows you how to make adjustments and customizations to your design
  • Call-outs and Pagelets are opposite one another allowing you to have a "3 Column" style layout if you want or a Sidebar left or Sidebar right option
  • A Safari style navigation menu for the Photo Page
  • Top notch customer support


If you are interested in seeing the Mojo Design in action then please take a few minutes to navigate through the Mojo Design DEMO site. Then if you like you can purchase the Mojo Design either seperately for $10 or as part of the Bundle for $22.00

New Site Design

We have long been in the habit of changing our site design around every six months. So since we just gave our sister site (RapidWeaverThemes.com) a new design we thought it would be really cool to give SandvoxWebDesigns.com a similar face lift. So I created this custom design for our site to match.


This site was built completely in Sandvox. 


Let me know what you think!

We Have Lowered Our Pricing Structure

We have decided to lower our prices on our designs by a small bit. We had been charging $12.99 per design but as of March 16, 2008 you will be able to pick up any one of our designs for only $10.00. Our "Design Bundle" has also seen a slight price decrease as well. You can now pick up our design bundle for only $22.00! That turns out to be an $18.00 savings over purchasing them separately.

Mojo For Sandvox is COMING SOON!

Without a doubt our most popular theme for RapidWeaver over the last couple of years has been the Mojo theme. It has sold sever thousand copies and continues to be a very popular theme. So we have decided to bring Mojo to Sandvox!


The whole idea behind Mojo was to create a theme that was extremely versitile and offered many, many variations for the user. This was made possible because of the way RapidWeaver reads the property list in the themes "contents" folder. Sandvox on the other hand does things a little differently so the Mojo for Sandvox design could not have ALL of the variations built in to the design, but we will be offering several variations of the design.


We will be offering Mojo in several different widths and color schemes. Plus we will include the Photoshop files and instructions, and some really neat choices for you.


I don't have an exact date for a release but I can say that you should be looking for Mojo within the next few weeks.

New Help Center Created Just For Sandvox Users

We have created a brand new "Help Center" to help answer your question regarding our designs. We are finding that many people are either needing or wanting to adjust their designs to fit their needs. So we figure that we could best provide support by creating a help center that would contain a library of the most often asked questions that we get through e-mail and that we find in the Sandvox User Group forums.


Most of the answers that you find at the help center will be in the form of "SupportCasts". A supportcast is a video that was created to demonstrate how to do something rather than just typing a lengthy e-mail.


If you are needing a question answered about one of our designs or of you are wanting to know how to do something with one of our designs please be sure so send me an e-mail requesting a support cast and I will do my best to provide you with one.


You can visit the help center by clicking on the link in the toolbar titled "Help Center"


Sincerely,

Gary

Why We Charge $10.00 Per Design

From time to time we get an e-mail asking us "Why we charge $10.00 for our designs?" Especially when you can buy the entire Sandvox application for either $49 or $69 and after all "it comes with around 30+ designs.


The answer is really an easy one. We have researched the "web design", "web template" market pretty extensively and found that on average a person will pay around $40 for a quality template and many templates will go for over $50 or even $60. I also realize that there are also places to find some nice free templates for most web building applications.


The amount of time involved in creating a design for Sandvox or a theme for RapidWeaver can be quite extensive. Some designs will take longer than others but every design demands a certain amount of time. Time spent:

  • In Photoshop
  • In CSSEdit lining out the structure of the design
  • In a property list editor making sure that the property list is set up correctly
  • Numerous hours spent testing the design in the major browsers (Currently 8 with a pretty big 9th on the way)
  • Not to mention the "after sale" support that goes into a design


    • That being said I feel strongly about providing a quality product for a modest price and have therefore settled on the $12-$13 range. However I offer my bundles at huge savings off the regular price.


    I understand that even $10.00 may seem a little high for a design and that is fine, but for me, since this is my business, my lifeblood, I have tried to find the balance of how I value my time versus providing affordable products.
