The built-in theme browser supports folders for themes, allowing you to organise your favourite designs and easily find them in other projects.

The all-new Bookmarks Manager allows you to easily save and quickly re-use publishing details across multiple projects.

Smart Publishing

Whether you're uploading your site to your MobileMe account or any other webhost, RapidWeaver can handle it with built-in FTP and SFTP support.

RapidWeaver's Smart Publishing means you only ever need to publish the files that have actually changed to your webspace.

RapidWeaver 5 makes it easier than ever to track who visits your site with GoSquared LiveStats and Google Analytics support. RapidWeaver 5 customers even get ad-free use of the basic LiveStats package!

RapidWeaver 5 ships with a new dedicated plugin that generates an HTML sitemap for your website. Visitors will always be able to find the page they're looking for!

RapidWeaver generates an XML sitemap for your entire website and lets the major search engines know that your site has been updated.

Great Code, Everywhere

Mix Code and Rich Text

Navigation Automation

RapidWeaver generates code using all your favourite web standards - and it's easily indexed by the search engines.

If you need to add some custom code to a page it's no problem. You can easily mix HTML code alongside Rich Text-formatted content.

RapidWeaver automatically creates the navigation menu for you: and tracks when you change any page names to ensure there's no broken links. Move pages around, without needing to re-build links between pages!

Code Snippets

Browse & Install [NEW]

If you need to analyse your RapidWeaver pages, the Safari Web Developer Tools are now available when you preview your pages.

If there's code you frequently use within RapidWeaver, the built-in snippets window lets you save them for re-use.

The all-new Addons area makes finding new addons a breeze, with a comprehensive listing of all the third-party addons around.

Stay Up-to-date [NEW]

SDKs [NEW]

RapidWeaver 5 not only keeps itself up to date, it also helps keep your third-party addons up to date too thanks to the new Addons area.

RapidWeaver 5 now allows you to install new themes and plugins without needing to re-launch RapidWeaver, meaning it's quicker than ever before to extend your site.

If you're a web developer looking to build your own themes, or a Cocoa developer looking to build a plugin, there's SDKs for you! We also publish all our SDKs on GitHub.
