If not - well you won't be as happy with RW. If you have a good experience there - great.
Those can add up if you dive into them & not all work equally well together.Įxperiences with add-ons can color general feelings about Rapidweaver itself. Some of those that I've seen are excellent. While the core product is good, it seems to be a framework in which a lot of people sell additional bells & whistles. Dilettantes can manage to create a basic site well enough. It is a tool for professional, or semi-pro (unpaid hobbyist) developers, imo.
Rapidweaver has some interesting features & you can construct a basic site quickly. Purely my opinion & after some frustration, so take that into consideration: But one also needs to know when the hell to get off it.
#RAPIDWEAVER 4 REVIEW FULL#
The biggest irritation is that most sales pitches for RW (maybe mostly its add-ons) have no solid subject in the sentences they’re all freakin’ STACKS of adjectives!Įither people would need to be doing something basic & standard (making RW a disproportional investment at full price), alternately I concur with your conclusion that it requires a lot of coding knowledge to do anything special & custom. I’ve poured hundreds into a tool that I can’t seem to get & keep humming. I find that every time I fix a thing, or more likely - have one thing fixed -> two others break. I’ve spent way too much to find out even the best add-ons are generally not simple. That said, its far from painless much of the time if you are trying to get the tool to match your vision, vs simply accepting canned effects & being impressed. To do what I am trying to do with some of the add-ons - would take expert knowledge to handle in straight code. To pinpoint the exact source of a litany of problems I encounter. Vers 7.3 seems pretty good, but that’s based upon not being able Scott C - partially in respone to your comment: I really use to love RW years ago, but enough is enough this app takes you away from what the web is now… Or better, if you have time: take a course of HTML and CSS at Udemy of OpenClassrooms (for free), and discover the pleasure of coding with tools like Sublime Text, Atom or Brackets.

LOT of CMS do the job MUCH BETTER for free and if you don't like Wordpress, try Concrete5 which is WYSIWYG and FrontEnd… and as CMS, easy to update, even from your phone! Even try WIX, or the unkown web builder of your webhoster…īut if you like better an app on your mac, there are also MANY apps MUCH BETTER designed, with lot of better possibilities to built and enhance your site (though RW need a paid plugin for… everything), and with better code, much understandable and maintainable… by you, with a learning curve equal that the one to learn RW: try Pinegrow for half the price of RW naked (which need much more money to be just functional), of Flux for the same price, but both are MUCH POWERFULL than RW,īoy, Girl, Man, Women, Trans, QUIT this app that costed so much money to recover the freedom of web site development with the standard of webdesign, and spread the word: this app sucks your money the old fashion way, and stucks you to the past… There are LOT of solutions to make good looking websites without paying for a lot of plugins just to make it work. Seems like RapidWeaver is not next-gen app anymore, but seems to be old-gen app, nor its design neither its business model.
