RapidWeaver from RealMacSoftware

I have been using RapidWeaver for over two years now. I have to say it has made my like easier. I barely touch Dreamweaver anymore.

Don't let this simple theme based application fool you. It can be a powerful tool. For the average Joe and Jane it is a great tool to create a good looking site easily. For those with skills (or just chomping at the bit to dive into code) in html, css, plist, php, javascript and more, you can get under the hood and customize the themes or even build your own. Lots of third party themes with more arriving each month.

One of the best Support Forums on the webs is over at RealMacSoftware so you can get help almost 24/7/365 from other users.

I have written a book on how to modify themes to make a nice custom theme. You can find RWcss at Inside Rapidweaver.

There is also a theme I created call Squeeze.
