It is utter junk!
After the latest update it crashes all the time, reformats everything, changes font, background colours, and sizing, destroys important legal documents, fonts become illegible, links go missing, SEO is non-existent, and as for the flipping great margins on either side of your pages... the result is embarrassing. I've been informed by one of my marketing managers that this rubbish is costing me customers! It wipes your publishing logs/details/information with every autosave that you can't turn off. You can't work on any page for more than a minute before it throws you back to the index page.
It is an utter waste of money! You lose more than you pay for this piece of trash. And despite all the identified issues like the stupid 2-inch margins that have been going on for years the developers ignore the problems.
Avoid at all costs!
It is a pity, but the first experience with Sparkle was not too bad. Although a button that should popup an email text did not work. Anyway, when I wanted to improve my website, that was published with Sparkle, and imported it with Sparkle (because I lost the orginal publishing documents) it made a mess of it. l have to start it all over again, texts were lost, pictured disappeared, and so on. I am afraid I have to use other website software to repair it.
Such a wonderful piece of software to use. Coming from a graphic design and branding background with many years experience using all of Adobe's suite of software, I wasn't ready for just how brilliant Sparkle was. So easy to use, familiar (if you use design software), effortless and gave me just what I needed: software which allowed me the freedom to design without restrictions or the need to mess with code. A joy!
Easy, Powerful, Fun!
I am currently using the latest version, Sparkle 4.0.

The visual editing feature is a standout, allowing for real-time adjustments to your website's design, making it easy to achieve the perfect look and feel.

As a native Mac application, Sparkle is seamlessly integrated with macOS, taking full advantage of its performance and stability.
Features:
Sparkle is feature-packed; some highlights include responsive design capabilities, built-in SEO tools, e-commerce integration, and support for various media formats.

Review of Sparkle 2.6
Back in the day, I used iWeb and loved it. I hung on as long I as I could, but about a year ago it crashed and there was no getting into my site to make changes again. I struggled with the web designs I saw - they just weren't as intuitive or dramatic as I was used to, and some of them required a lot of left brain processing that is not my forte. Then I found Sparkle, a total right brain user product. The templates are exceptional, learning was easy, and best of all, their customer service was impeccable. When I couldn't figure something out I sent them a question and usually within 24 hours they responded with a suggestion. Which worked. I build a stunning website and the launch has been very well received. If you want a web building product that is easy to use, stunning visually and has great customer support, use Sparkle. Really, I mean it!!!!

Review of Sparkle 2.6
I have worked with Wordpress for many years in conjunction with the Elementor plugin. Sparkle not only gives me more options in design, but also saves time in setup and makes the complete workflow much easier. All in one step.
I was particularly impressed with the extremely good image compression depending on the actual delivered size of the image on the website. Incredible performance and saves hours of work.
And if a problem does arise, there is a really exceptionally fast and competent email support that often comes around the corner with a solution in a few hours. Even on weekends.
Conclusion: I love Sparkle!
