![]() Rapidweaver over the years wracked up quite a bill. ![]() The thing I like about Pinegrow compared to Rapidweaver and Blocs, is that you do not have to pay for extra for needed features. It has a built in feature using the Unsplash API for adding images within the app. These allow you to drag and drop many components such as whole navigation bars or hero images with text. It has built in frameworks such as Bootstrap, Foundation and TailwindCSS. You can view and edit the code as well as edit it in a visual editor. I have started to use Pinegrow to develop all my sites and it is an excellent programme. It’s in a major transition after a spat between one of the plugin developers and I would not trust the platform at this point in time (I used them for 12 years till recently.) Pinegrow can allow you to remote edit a website. What’s a good way to edit the website? Ideally, I want to import the site into some tool that will let me edit the site and the HTML pages.Ĭan Rapidweaver do this and if so, how do I bring the old site into it? If not, any recommendations for a static site editor that can do this? Also, Realmac relies too much on third-party addons like Stacks ($50), so users wind up paying more for advanced features.I have a verrrry old static HTML website which I built using Dreamweaver, which I no longer own. Although the new simulator eases some of the suffering, edit mode still isn’t WYSIWYG, requiring a lot of hopping into preview mode to see the results. It’s an extra step, but far more streamlined than with previous releases.įor all of its many advantages, RapidWeaver 8 doesn’t address a few longstanding criticisms. The only exception is a Safari pinned tab, which requires an SVG image, as well as choosing the desired theme color. ![]() Want to spice up your website with stylish, high-quality images? RapidWeaver 8 now integrates directly with royalty-free stock photo library Unsplash.Īnother convenient feature is the web icon generator, which allows users to drag and drop a single PNG graphic, then generate all of the necessary size variations in a single click. There’s no account or signup necessary, and images are stylish and high-quality you can also visit the author’s page or add images to your resources for later use right from the contextual menu. In addition to importing images from your Photos library or other resources, users can now simply select the service from sources, type in a search query, then drag the desired content into your project. This functionality also extends to individual blog posts by modifying the Social Tags section for each entry.Īlthough unfamiliar with royalty-free stock photo service Unsplash prior to upgrading, the new integration in RW8 has made me a fan. ![]() By checking Generate Social Tags under Settings > General in the sidebar, web designers can now make sure proper meta tags are written for both Twitter cards as well as Open Graph. RapidWeaver 8 offers five new built-in themes, bringing the total number to 61. This is a solid step in the right direction and welcome addition to be sure, but I’d love to have the ability to save window states on a project by project basis, rather than as a single universal setting. ![]() This feature works across all open windows, so your preferred layout applies to every future project (that is, until you change it again). The simulator isn’t the only area of the application where you can restore the previous window state. The new device simulator mode updates in real-time as changes are made, but it’s still now quite a replacement for true WYSIWYG editing. You can even position multiple layouts side by side on the screen and RW8 will remember them next time a project is opened. The simulator isn’t as comprehensive as the one in Adobe Dreamweaver, but there’s an option that allows designers to drag windows to a desired size and save those custom dimensions as other devices. RapidWeaver 8 plugs up a few holes in the application’s feature arsenal, starting with a device simulator to preview how sites should look on ten different iPhone, iPad, and Mac models in portrait or landscape mode, all in real-time as changes are being made. ![]()
