![]() ![]() Through a backend admin panel, they have 100% control over all text (English and Spanish) and images used on the site (they license them through Adobe). Most of the sites shown do not allow for complete customer control - but the David Kennedy site not only does, it is also in two languages (English and Spanish) - and is shown to the visitor in their native language (or, they can switch). You can see some examples of these types of sites on my own site: North Georgia & Atlanta Web Design | Portfolio Because of the extra time it takes on the front-end, I charge accordingly.Īnd, if you’re crunched for time or resources, there are designers who sell projects (at a very reasonable price) that do the heavy lifting for you. If we’ve done our job well, then it’s easy for them to make changes/additions/deletions to their site, on their own watch. Some people/companies like having that level of control, and I think it’s great when they do. But, for those that want to maintain the content themselves, there are solutions (mentioned above) that we can incorporate into our sites that allow them to do so. ![]() That’s why they’ve hired a good web designer. Most of my sites are built for clients who do not want to waste their time keeping up with the aspects of running websites - they’re busy making money running a business. Important edit made: 2nd paragraph: from “they just know the truth” changed to " they just don’t know the truth." I still have some jobs that I go to Pages '09 for on my old iMacs, just due to the better scripting support.) (Now, if Apple would just put full scripting support back into Pages. Oh, and RW is working flawlessly after the update… ![]() I just didn’t know the truth of the matter because I had not kept up… I almost couldn’t bring myself to make the move. Point of my story… I was a “snob.” I didn’t think my old setup (machine, apps, macro’s, and all) could be beaten. (I was also on old versions of RW)īut of course, once I found new apps, fixed my macros, updated RW, etc, etc, etc, I fell in love with the new OS and the M1 Mini! I’m MUCH MUCH better off than before in all respects. Here I had a new M1 Mini and I was NOT looking forward to the move. I use Keyboard Maestro and I have tons of macros so all those had to be updated too. (I still prefer the “old” Pages for some jobs because of better scripting support.) But I broke down and got the M1 and I forced myself to find new “replacement” apps. I was reluctant to buy my a new M1 Mini (I have 27" iMacs) and upgrade OSX because I had some apps I used every single day that didn’t have updates to new OS and would become un-usable. What you are asking for is CMS… Content Management System and as pointed out above there are CMS tools for Rapidweaver.Īs for those who don’t like RW… they just don’t know the truth. My clients like the sites I make for them with RW, they achieve what they need and the end users seem to like them too. RW has been the tool that has built me a very strong longterm business that gives me a nice easy living with the time to do the things I enjoy most, which isn’t making websites!. I started with code, then Frontpage (remember that?), then PHPWebsite, then a custom “framework” (hand made by a coder) and now RW. They just want the website they are on to do what they need. The end users don’t care or know or even understand things like code, and WP and RW etc. It’s rooted in a belief that “whatever I use is best and you should use it too”, plus the fact that many fail to see the end result from the users POV, only their own. And in some instances people who use RW look down their noses at people who use Wix etc. Poeple who use Wordpress look down their noses at people who use things like RW. I’ve learnt coders look down their noses at people who use things like Wordpress. Why do people “walk back”? It’s mostly web designer snobbery. ![]()
