RapidWeaver

Just thought I would say some more about this site and how it is built.

I'm using RapidWeaver, from Brighton based Realmac Software, to make this site. It's such a sweet little application. Very MacOS X. I guess it's designed for Mom & Pop but if you spend all day at work trying to force IE to do something other browsers don't appear to have a problem with then you don't want to do that in the evening as well.

I'm using one of the templates that ships with RapidWeaver at the moment. It's pleasant enough but given some time should be able to get something a little less bright in place. Site templates are nice little MacOS X bundles with all the required files inside. There is normally an XHTML page with placeholder markers, CSS & Javascript files and all the interface graphic files inside the bundle. There is a healthy market for selling themes but I don't think I will have the time.

RapidWeaver is so easy to use and new plug-ins can be built for it so instead of building a site for a client and updating it under contract, it makes much more sense to just provide the client with a theme (and possibly plug-ins) and they can update the content with their own RapidWeaver.
