PLUG INS are specific page types, some included in RW and others available from 3rd parties, offering a variety of functions e.g. BLANK THEMES effectively have no framework so you can create everything as you want - however, the must use Stacks. Additionally, you can purchase themes, mostly 3rd party, and these are generally much more customisable allowing things like banner size adjustments, wide variety of fonts built in, extensive colour choices and much more. ![]() RW comes with lots of themes pre-installed but be aware for historic reasons a fair number are NOT responsive and some are not very customisable. the Banner, menu position, and other basic design features. The theme will typically determine what your site framework looks like, e.g. Here goes:Ī THEME is a kind of pre-designed visual framework which you must have for any Rapidweaver project. Not a silly question at all - like any other software, RW has its approach and it will take a little getting used to. What is the difference between themes, plug-ins, stacks, and projects? I find the categories of add-ons very confusing as to their purpose and use. To complete your Freeway alternative you must stop off at the BigWhiteDuck site where you can download all the really good stuff. Have a look at my Templates which are all built using a blank theme and BWD Sections. Another way is to build using a free blank theme with mostly free “donation ware” stacks. One way to quickly do this is to buy Foundation, Foundry or UIKit. To complete your Freeway replacement you will need RW, Stacks and a load of stacks each cherry picked to do the stuff you want to do. Think of RapidWeaver as a front end for stacks. RapidWeaver needs a theme but it can use a blank theme and with a blank theme you can build whatever you want. Then along came Foundation with it’s blank theme and suddenly the whole (now expensive) bundle was a real solution. I didn’t understand Stacks which seemed to be lost in the world of plug-ins (whatever they were).Īdding Stacks opened up a world of 3rd party cool stuff but still it was a Template rigid layout template solution. Initially I found that RapidWeaver was just an alternative version of iWeb and a big disappointment. I used to use Freeway and switched over when FW7 appeared because I just didn’t see it addressing the world of responsive web sites. ![]()
