RapidWeaver is our "favourite" WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) web design tool that gives you more flexibility than what iWeb....

iWeb's problem (for me, at least) is the lack of ability to set multiple users and passwords for a page. That doesn't affect joe average but it sure affects me.

I got RW is some bundle a couple of years ago and I love it. Sure, you can get something else, but this works so easy and has plug-ins that let you do so much more.
I didn't like how iWeb wouldn't let me look under the hood if I wanted to, which I do because I'm learning how to do things better. RW gives me just enough, and I use Coda when I want to dig deeper.
RapidWeaver's website at http://realmacsoftware.com/ has many pages throughout it's own site with navigation menus that don't work with my Safari Browser version 2.0.4 What's up with that?
@Robert, we are no longer supporting Safari 2.0.4 as it is over 2 and a half years old and numerous updates have been released since then!
We're currently supporting Safari 3, which is a free update and can be downloaded here: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Thanks,

I don't like the fact that the version 4 software is 10.5 only. It makes me think that any future updates will only support the latest version of OS X.
Any company that does not support at least the last OS in the new versions will never get my money. It shows lack of support for old users.
You can still use 3.6.
Some of us are glad that software developers are embracing new technology, and many new features and under-the-hood stuff requires Leopard.
Realmac has fostered a helpful forum community on their website. There are so many talented third-party developers and RW users that take the functionality of the app way beyond what you get out of the box. The interaction between Realmac, theme developers, and users adds even more value to a fun web creation tool. Granted no app in this category is perfect, but RW 4.x keeps seeing fixes and improvements.
