You’ll be glad you chose RapidWeaver

Just because you never learned a lick of code doesn't mean you need to spend a small fortune to have a website built. RapidWeaver 8 gives you the tools you need to publish a beautiful site—no programming, design, or server experience required.

Getting started is as simple as picking one of RapidWeaver's elegant website themes (like Artful or Engineer). You'll edit page content using standard rich text or Markdown formatting; to add images, drag and drop from Finder, or use the app's media browser to import from your Photos library or the stock-photo service Unsplash.

RapidWeaver's Simulate mode lets you preview as you edit, so you can see how it will look on various screens, including a range of Mac, iPhone, and iPads.

With RapidWeaver, you never need to work with the underlying code, but advanced users will appreciate the option to tweak a site's HTML, Javascript, and CSS. And RapidWeaver makes it easy to drop in code, tags, or other information for search-engine optimisation, sharing, or internal reference.

Need more options? RapidWeaver Addons—created by third-party developers let you enhance your site with e-commerce features, analytics, individual logins, additional layout options, and much more. You'' find over 1,000 of these in the official community library.

And once your site is finished, you won't even need to bother with a file transfer app. Rapidweaver automatically uploads all the necessary files to your web host and keeps them in perfect sync whenever you make changes.
