Why Elements?

Learn more about why RapidWeaver Elements for macOS is the perfect choice for building your next website.

Elements is Community Driven

We listen to our amazing community of passionate users and build the features they want.

  1. Weekly builds along with a video dev diary to keep the community in the loop.

  2. Be part of the Independent Web, don;t rely on social media companies.

  3. Static Sites are just better (although we do support php if you need it).

  4. Super active and supportive Community

  5. Fast, friendly, top-tier support!

Join the Independent Web

Be part of the independent web. Own your content.

Realmac Software has always been an indie company and has never taken on outside investment. We've remained an independent and private company for over 20 years. We are and always have been 100% customer funded and focused.

Just like our company, we believe the web should stay open and independent. When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. By joining the indie web movement, and using RapidWeaver Elements, your content stays yours and in your control.

You can post anything you want, in any format you want. In addition, you share simple readable links such as example.com/ideas. These links are permanent and will always work.

Take back control and build your next website with Elements on macOS.
