The GUI is Legacy's trademark, IMO, and it is what I like best about Legacy. It shows 3 families at once in relationship, not just a list of names. One has to bring up an editing screen to change anything, but with others, one has to move to a families view to see the result. Each program has features which appeal to its followers.
But Rich specifically asked about updates to the website creation feature, which I don't use anyway. The question probably should go to the company, not to a users' list. It is the kind of announcement that could be put in a blog.
