Design Quick, Beautiful Sites with RapidWeaver 4.0
Ever since I got my first Mac a few years ago, I was always in a hunt looking for an application which would allow me to design quality websites, but without the cost of an application like DreamWeaver. Through various searches and asking on many forums, one application kept being mentioned…RapidWeaver. I immediately went and downloaded the trial, and it wasn’t long before I made the full purchase. I have been using it ever since, and just recently RapidWeaver 4.0 was released from RealMac Software.
This was a major update, and the first thing you will notice is the redesigned interface which is less cluttered and easier to work with. The layout makes working with sites a snap, and although the interface has a simple look to it, there is a lot of power under the hood. On the left side of the application you have a sidebar and buttons which allow you add, remove, and edit pages in your site. Clicking ‘Add’ brings up a dialog where you can select among a variety of page templates which lets you setup a blog page, media page, etc. with all the bells and whistles, without all the work. Don’t worry, adding a page where you can enter your own HTML is also there so, if you want to get your hands dirty with some code, they haven’t forgotten you.
