iWeb (apple) problem

Who can advise me about the apple app " iWeb" ?
What's the problem ? I want to update my iMac to OSX Catalina. As is known, the 32-bit applications no longer work after this system update.
However, I have the iWeb program and I have created an extensive website ( www.alkmaarsecuyperskerk.nl ). After the system update, iWeb no longer works.
Now I read in a magazine the possibility to install Mojave alongside Catalina via the app "Parallels" instead of "windows" in order to continue using the 32-bit programs.
I bought and installed the "Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac" program and tried to install the 32-bit programs within the Parallels / OSX Mojave combination. A few apps went well and they also work, but with iWeb I encounter a problem. The app does start and shows the design of the website, but a blank page is displayed for the relevant pages. When I print the relevant page, the content of the page is simply displayed. What is the solution for seeing the contents of the "blank" pages?

Hi
I run latest Parallels Desktop for Mac
Version 16.1.0 (48950)

I did a test with 10.14 and 10.13 within a VM (installation went very easy and fast). But i encountered the same issue as the other members. Iweb starts but all the pages are blank (but the content seems ok, because i did an publish on a local directory, and the site is ok).
I tried to change the display settings (higher and lower resolution, and higher display memory) but still the same problem?
How can we get riden of this problem?
Thanks
Regards

Hi,
so for what has stated @YannissA1 there is no sense for me to upgrade to version 16 because the problem still remains.
Waiting for some possible solutions/workaround or something to test.

Thanks and Regards

This problem still isn't fixed in Version 16.1.2 (49151). I have reinstalled iLife '11 in my VM running MacOS 10.8.5 so I can continue to use iWeb, deleted iWeb preferences and cache files, but still get blank pages in the iWeb editing interface. The site publishes to disk and looks fine in Safari. I just can't edit without seeing what I am doing. This appears to be a Parallels issue since iWeb was working fine in Mojave on my MacPro before I moved it to the VM. Was hoping to update the MP to BigSur and still have iWeb working. Looks like another solution is needed since this most likely won't get fixed in Parallels.

iWeb requires full 'quartz extreme' support which running in a parallels vm doesn't allow - hence you only get a blank when trying to view iweb content. I have not found any workaround this.
