RapidWeaver 8 for Pc

Sadly, to the best of my knowledge, no one makes a true WYSIWYG web design app like Apple’s discontinued iWeb. This is partly due to the requirement that modern websites be “dynamic,” to accommodate a wide variety of display sizes on PCs, tablets and smartphones. the app competes with browser-based, templated dynamic web design & hosting services like Wix, Squarespace and WordPress. The most economical web-based plans cost more per year than the one-time purchase of the app, plus you don’t have to deal with the sluggish browser-based interfaces. On the other hand, the app only offers a couple of dynamic templates and is not a full-featured product. To approximate the functionality of, say, WordPress you need to also buy Stacks (about $50) and Foundry (about $85). You may also need some additional plug-ins to add functionality like including audio-clips. So, before you buy, first figure out if there’s a template you can use with it. These templates offer almost no customization. You have to make you photos and copy fit the layout. Finding stock photos or acquiring custom photos to fit the layouts could be a substantial additional expense. Still, if you can use the site with only a few copy changes for 4-5 years, it’s probably a better value than the web-based services. Like it’s competing dynamic web apps, the interface is not very intuitive. It is not WYSIWYG. The learning curve is steep. Save versions as you go along so that you can step back to an earlier version if something goes wrong. I’m only giving it 2 stars because it should be full featured at its price point. (Note: Online design sites also include web hosting as part of their offering).
