Build a website in a weekend
Hot on the heels of last months excellent review in MacFormat is a great tutorial on how to build a website in a weekend. The article mentions iWeb and Wordpress but really focuses in on RapidWeaver - it even covers setting up an online shop using PayLoom!
Here's what MacFormat had to say about RapidWeaver in comparison to iWeb:
“RapidWeaver is a great choice for many Mac-toting website builders. It's easy to use, yet has enough depth and flexibility to put it ahead of iWeb.”
This rather lovely tutorial is in the very latest issue of MacFormat, September 2008, and is available at your local news-agent now!

Read MoreAustralian Macworld reviews RapidWeaver 4
Here at Realmac HQ, we recently received a surprise package from the other side of the world. After the run of great reviews from the UK Mac press, it was great to see a copy of Australian Macworld magazine with a review of RapidWeaver 4 drop through the letterbox!
Whilst the review may be short it's certainly very sweet, proclaiming that RapidWeaver 'takes the pain out of web publishing'. Reviewer Tim Haddock awards RapidWeaver a very respectable 4.5 Mice rating and concludes the article:
“RapidWeaver 4.0 strikes just the right balance between customisability and ease of use.”
This flattering review appears in the very latest issue, August 2008, which is available at Australian (and New Zealand) news-stands now!
Read MoreRapidWeaver 4 reviewed by iCreate
After some great reviews in MacUser, MacFormat and Macworld UK, RapidWeaver 4 has been reviewed by UK Mac magazine iCreate.
The team at iCreate were impressed with the user experience in the application calling it 'extremely Apple-ish', and awarded RapidWeaver a 4-star rating. Appearing in Issue 58, which is available today, the review is full of praise for RapidWeaver 4 - here's just one quote from the article:
“For those who want just that little bit more [than iWeb] in terms of flexibility and features, RapidWeaver makes a lot of sense. It avoids the expense and plethora of features provided by the likes of DreamWeaver while being easily capable of producing advanced and professional-looking domestic and commercial websites.”
The iCreate write-up completes the set of reviews from all the major Mac magazines here in the UK, and we're thrilled with how RapidWeaver has fared. Achieving nothing less than 4 out of 5, it proves that RapidWeaver 4 really is the best version of RapidWeaver ever!
