How the web has changed in the 21 years since Realmac Software brought us one of the first template-based website editors in RapidWeaver. Its new successor Elements is aimed at a broader market, from those building their first website to teams of professionals, indeed anyone who wants to develop visually rather than primarily in code.
It’s built on Tailwind, an extensive open source CSS-based framework that makes theme customisation simple using CSS variables. It features rich transitions and animations, and most importantly trims unused CSS to minimise the storage space required for websites.
