Rapidweaver 4
So RapidWeaver 4 is out today........
Yes I’ve wasted no time in upgrading from 3.6 and started to play about with it already.
RapidWeaver has been my prefered web design tool ever since moving over to the Mac from PC’s.
Having my own site wasn’t even something I had considered before moving over to the Mac, it just isnt a common thing to do among PC users I think.
Where’as all Mac users get free website design software included with their new Mac, iWeb.
While iWeb is very good I prefer RapidWeaver as it’s a much more powerful tool, especially once you add a few of the extras available from Yourhead.
If you have a Mac and are interested in creating your own site RapidWeaver 4, for users of Leopard or version 3.6 for Tiger users is well worth a try.......
