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 MoreRapidWeaver 4.1 Now Available!
We've been hard at work on RapidWeaver 4.1 for some time, and we're excited to announce today that RapidWeaver 4.1 is now available! Along with a number of bug-fixes, there are a couple of new features in the release: the option of QuickLook support for your save files, and an automatic image resizing option when dragging in images. We've also made it even easier to publish your sites to Apple's MobileMe service.
RapidWeaver 4.1 is a free update to all registered 3.6.x and 4.0.x customers - and available now from our Downloads page. If you want to read more about what's new in RapidWeaver 4.1 simply head over to the version history.
On behalf of everyone here at Realmac, thanks to all those who tested this latest version - and Happy Weaving!
Read MoreBoxed!
Here at Realmac HQ, we often get asked whether RapidWeaver is available in any retail stores as a physical, boxed, product. For a couple of years now, RapidWeaver has been available throughout Europe as a boxed product thanks to our resellers, however that didn't help our American customers - many of whom wrote to ask 'When are you coming to the US?'. For all those who have been patiently waiting for boxed copies to become available: your wait is over as we've teamed up with Smith Micro to bring boxes of RapidWeaver to every single US Apple Retail Store including the Apple Company Store in Cupertino! It's also available at many other resellers, including Amazon.com.
Supporting Acts
With the launch of RapidWeaver, we've changed a few pieces of the jigsaw here at Realmac HQ. One that is of most interest to our users is how we're handling support. Previously, we received all support requests through the HelpDesk and we felt this could use minor tweaks.
We've also significantly improved the documentation for RapidWeaver 4.0 so if you're looking for an in-depth guide to RapidWeaver, be sure to check the Support page to download the new manual in PDF form. You can even pick up a printed edition of the manual (shown below) via Lulu.
Say Hello to RapidWeaver 4
After almost a year in development, we're thrilled to finally launch RapidWeaver 4.0! The new version is a substantial upgrade to the way the application works, so in order to make the transition as smooth as possible, here's a few tips to help ensure your update goes without a hitch. We've also got a newly-updated Frequently Asked Questions page that you might also want to read through.
RapidWeaver 4.0 is Leopard-only, and will not work with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). However, we are going to be updating RapidWeaver 3.6 for Tiger users soon - so don't worry if you've not yet upgraded to Leopard.
