Its intended purpose is to bridge the gap between very basic, beginner-level Web design programs and advanced software that is intended for professionals.
It does this by combining drag-and-drop design and simple themes with the ability to create custom-coded pages and alterations to your website. Interface leads the way: When you first open RapidWeaver, the interface very smoothly guides you to where you need to go to get started. Basic prompts on the screen all make sense, and within minutes of installation you're building a website.
Great preinstalled themes: To make the design portion of building a website that much easier, RapidWeaver comes with a wide selection of preinstalled themes. The themes all look great, and immediately make your website look polished and professional even if you have no coding experience.
Drag-and-drop resources: If you have resources stored on your computer that you're going to want to use for your website, RapidWeaver makes utilizing them easy, as you can just drag and drop them into the control window to utilize them in your site building.
Uninspired blog feature: When you add a blog using the "add page" feature, the editor window that appears is very cramped and slightly confusing. It is not readily apparent how to use the blog editor. RapidWeaver for Mac is a great tool for people who know enough about Web design to want to stretch themselves beyond the confines of the most basic programs on the market. Although it has the capability to build very advanced websites, it is still an intuitive and easily understood program.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of RapidWeaver for Mac 5. RapidWeaver makes it ridiculously easy to create stunning websites on your Mac. Whether you're building your very first website or your fiftieth, RapidWeaver provides you with the know-how to quickly publish websites to be proud of.
No matter what you want to build - be it stunning online photo-slideshows straight from your iPhoto library, a company website or your own blog - RapidWeaver lets you do it with a minimum of fuss. RapidWeaver comes with 11 built-in page types - from blogs to sitemaps, photo albums to contact forms - so you can start work on every page in your site from the get-go.
All without needing to know a line of code. Simply choose the pages you need for your project, select a theme - customising it using the included variations - and add your content.
It is a wonderful framework, some minor stability issues but is opens up so many possibilities. As it promises, you have endless flexibility.
Takes some time to learn everything you can do, specially since I purchased ALL the stacks. I guess I am pretty confident using it after just 4 days. I am no pro, and design web sites on my spare time. I have a minor issue that I also purchased Fort Awesome and right now can't use it, but if you are going to use Font Awesome it works like a champ. I was so hooked on seyDesign themes that was worried Merrified left.
But this stuff is truly great!! Yes, you can make some stunning looking sites using Rapidweaver and the odd theme, BUT If you really want to explore web design and break free of most of the constrictions that themes put onto your designs then you need Joe Workman's Foundation theme and all the stacks as well. If you download Andrew Tavenors free stacks for foundation then you can fashion pretty much anything.
It's a steep learning curve but very rewarding in the long term. Joe and Andrew are constantly updating their products, adding new features and fixing small bugs and their support is second to none. Themes are great if you really need nothing more they offer out of the box, but lets face it, this is rare. Excited to the prospect of the freedom to do what I want and nervous at the prospect of having to design all by myself.
And since then I feel confident that I would never go back to a restrictive theme It is so powerful to be able to offer exactly what a client wants. Thanks Joe Workman for all his support and great work. This kit raises Rapidweaver to a whole new level. Just about any website design is posible now by using Foundation. I've had rapidweaver on my mac for a while now and never really paid any attention to it until I was looking into making a website recently.
I went out and got a few stacks and started plugging along but wasn't really liking that I had to use the themes I had. When I stumbled upon Foundation it gave new life to rapidweaver for me.
I waited for the cyber Monday deals at Joe's site and spent too much money! All worth it so far. I still consider myself to be a RW rookie, but Foundation really allows me to create what I want the way I want it. Foundation was well worth the cost and made RW fun for me. I love RapidWeaver and I've been using it for well over seven years. The limitations when it came to freedom of design, though But it was so damn frustrating. I simply don't like being restricted by the design dictates of a theme developer.
The saving grace In a nutshell, Foundation affords freedom of design and layout. You start with, quite literally, a blank canvas. That's the basic Foundation theme.
When you want it? Foundation is fully responsive and your site s can be easily set up to react differently to either mobile, tablet and desktop. Still too much, you say!? Thanks for totally screwing up the average, Joe Workman!!!! Over the years I've probably purchased at least 10 themes. For a third of that price the Foundation Bundle , I now have a solution that enables me to create virtually any style of website and emulate any theme.
Quite frankly, more - much more - than offered in the bundles themselves. In the bundles, though, it's best to take a look at foundation. Suffice to say that even with the Starter Pack's 28 stacks, you have more than enough to create fully responsible mobile-first websites that feature: forms, various navigation options, slider, lightbox, tabs and even video playback.
With Addon Pack 1, an additional 17 stacks give you the ability to push your basic forms to include much more sophisticated otpions fieldsets, number input, sliders, switches, etc. Addon Pack 2 gives even more flexibiliy and power, especially when it comes to navigation. I'm now grateful that I purchased the full bundle. With Magellan see the website above for more info on that and other Addon Pack 2 stacks, I'm finally exploring even more new ways to establish total freedom from themes.
It really is quite difficult to get across just how flexible Foundation makes the Rapidweaver experience. Foundation is easily the most customisable set of stacks to create your website with. Pretty much, what you think design-wise you will be able to do with Foundation.
Combine with some of Joes other stacks and the possiblities are limitless. I love the Foundation stack set! There are a lot of great themes for Rapidweaver, but tools like the "Foundation Stack Set" have kept me using Rapidweaver now that my needs have grown past what most Rapidweaver themes can do.
The ability to layout almost anything my clients want, and quickly, is what makes Foundation great! And the little details included are a huge plus. Things like being able to serve up different images for different screen sizes, or having 2 default sets of text plus customization of individual paragraphs or the power to tweak things like which heading gets the "h1" tag something most Rapidweaver themes don't allow easily , or the list goes on!
It is easy to use, but more importantly very powerful as well. We needed a tool in our company for fast prototyping websites, first tested the demo of RW and than because of the foundation Add-on finally decided to use Rapidweaver with this foundation extension for our Projects. With this extension you can mainly compose most imaginable layouts in a very short time. We also love the verity of menu options possible in Foundation. It powerful, flexible and fast. Foundation is truly a game changer for developing sites in RapidWeaver.
Not only is it a superbly implemented suite of stacks and easy to use for beginners, it has the power of Zurb Foundation behind it and is regularly updated with the latest Zurb Updates. For more advanced users, the possibilities are endless with such a powerful framework to leverage.
Everything is accessible, nothing is hidden allowing sites to be made how you want them. That's all I can say. After figuring out how to use this fully all I can say is wow.
