"Designing Business Website is Easy With RapidWeaver"

5/5

What do you like best about RapidWeaver Elements?

Rapidweaver is a powerful tool for web development and designing, Easy to create professional websites with little to no coding. The app features an array of templates and plugins with a long list of features to help you make your site look exactly how you want it. Furthermore, if you want to get started from scratch or make some major changes, you can do this by editing the design of your choosing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RapidWeaver Elements?

We can not assign multi users in this tool so it is a drawback of this tool. It should be updated because one developer works on a running project and the other developer needs to wait. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RapidWeaver Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used RapidWeaver for our clients website to design for Mac. It has a powerful website builder to design responsive and mobile friendly for customers. I have also one more option to choose a pre pre-built template to custom design website pages and portfolio. In RapidWeaver, as a client I don't need to generate code for browsers separately because RapidWeaver has browser compatible features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Next generation web development pilot"

5/5

What do you like best about RapidWeaver Elements?

The best features of rapidweaver includes its ability to make web development looks easy than ever even though you arn't actually coding instead just designing like mobirise with wide range of templetes and addons with a long list of plugins and adaptive to design by choice allows to make changes from scratch to a templete or make some differential changes to the self constructed design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RapidWeaver Elements?

I'm not too fond of the limitations of RapidWeaver to work with mac as it doesn't share compatibility with windows and the technical glitches that lead to multiple crashes and loss of cache memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RapidWeaver Elements:

My recommendation for others considering RapidWeaver is that if you're looking for the pc software version of Wix or GoDaddy studio for web development with minimum backend and coding support and scripts for a self-efficient design. You're looking for quick designs software for website development for macOSX, then you're making the right choice with RapidWeaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RapidWeaver Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wasn't actually using the tool to resolve a concern. Instead, I started using it based upon the client requirement shared with my organization for creating designs for the project assigned to us. However, I was confused by the UI and its flexible adaptability to create some fantastic designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy and flexible to create a site when you add Stacks plugin and Foundry base of stacks that create the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RapidWeaver Elements?

I would like it to be multiuser. If you want more than 1 developer to work on the site at one

time you need to break the site up in to sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The easiest way to make modern, adaptive websites"

5/5

What do you like best about RapidWeaver Elements?

RapidWeaver doesn't need high level web skills to make high level sites. For a novice, RapidWeaver is point and click easy. There are excellent videos on YouTube that show you how. The raw program includes many of the powerful tools you will need.

RapidWeaver is template-based which means in addition to the built-in templates (which are superb and I use myself) there are many more free or paid-for designs to fit your web design needs. In addition are Stacks, incredible and sophisticated tools that enable you to do just about anything you need in a web site.

Making sites to fit phones, tablets, laptops or larger is automatic and RapidWeaver makes them for you. It is easy to add extra bits of code or HTML as well. Then, once the site is made, it is extremely rapid to upload changes or whole websites.

Support from the active forum is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RapidWeaver Elements?

My only gripe is that Stacks isn't part of RapidWeaver but an add-on extension. My clients would also like to make changes to their web sites, but then, they only ruin them and what am I going to earn when they do? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RapidWeaver Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can make a sophisticated website in a morning, then easily make additions or amendments on the fly. Maybe 5 years later, in a newer version of RapidWeaver, I can immediately understand the site and amend or extend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy editing and concise view of CSS "

5/5

What do you like best about RapidWeaver Elements?

I like the option to create a website without the need to touch any code, yet the power to tweak code if and when needed. While being allowed to look back at each portion of code easily...its like inspect element on steriods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RapidWeaver Elements?

There is a bit of a learning curve, and the program may not be for everyone. Once you get used to the process you can much more quickly trouble shoot and create code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RapidWeaver Elements solving and how is that benefiting you?

Faster production times, adding elements quickly, testing, everything is much easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
