Awesome slideshows

Easy, slick, and great design!

I've been using RW since version 2, designing websites since the 90's. (Remember Claris Home Page?) I moved to RapidWeaver because…Read more, although I loved the simplicity of iWeb, I had outgrown it. I have DreamWeaver, but I don't have the coding skills to do the flashy stuff and I'm not a visual artist so need help with good design. RapidWeaver brings the best of all worlds to web design. It takes care of all the technical stuff, and through the use of included or purchased templates, my design woes are completely taken care of. I found RW to be easier to use than Freeway and it has more templates available (or at least it did when I last checked a couple of years ago).
I would recommend RW to anyone who likes the ease of iWeb but needs more control over the look and feel of their sites. I've been using it exclusively in my web design business for two years now with great success.(8 of 9 people found this review useful)

After about an hour of trying to download the video tutorials that I just paid for, I am ready to explode. The basic program seems…Read more OK but I cant work out how to customize beyond colour changes, type etc. So subscribed for the tutorials, these things are so big they don't download in any decade soon! Don't bother if you cant work it out for your self the support is rubbish. Can't believe this is available via apple site.

no regrets!

RapidWeaver is a great program that I've found to be a step above iWeb and almost as easy to use. The only shortcoming of this pro…Read moregram (as with many) is that the templates that ship with it are lackluster. Elixer Graphics & Icon Lab have solved that problem for me, however, with amazing, easy to use templates and simply stylish icons. With all the talk about Web 2.0 and how every site visitor wants ultimate interaction with the website, RW is THE purchase for the HTML illiterate webmaster who, at the end of the day, wants to look and feel like a pro!

I just started using Rapidweaver and quickly realized that it is a great web design software. There are plenty of plugins and the…Read moremes to choose from; however the add-ons are not necessary.
This is a good balance between iWeb and Dreamweaver.

Top of the Heap

This is just an excellent bit of software. I have been using RapidWeaver for 3 years now and it has replaced DreamWeaver. It tak…Read morees so little time to put a website together, and so little time to adjust the pages, add data or media or change the whole look that I don't need to go back to DW. And with the plugins and great range of themes to help get the functionality and look that I want, I feel like a pro webmaster. All the prices are very reasonable, RapidWeaver, plugins and themes, so there is just no excuse to get weaving -- rapidly!
