Get your hands on the brand new v1.5 of Macaw and get $80 off as well as a raft of new features.

Jeffrey Zeldman calls Macaw the "superhot web design tool of the future". Why? It's a slick web design tool that enables you to create clean HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and it's just had a massive update.

To help you with responsive web design, Macaw 1.5 features display toggles that allow you to control the display and visibility properties for elements. There's also a new embed tool that enables you to add videos, maps or iframes to your site, and custom responsive properties for every breakpoint. And for the final touch, Macaw 1.5's layout engine has been improved to make it faster and more accurate than before.

If you like the sound of all this, get a move on because Macaw 1.5 is on sale for the next two days; it's yours for $99 rather than the usual $179. And if you're intrigued, why not give it a test drive? There's a 30-day trial version available that you can download today.
