Hey Everyone!!!

I can't believe the last post was made on October 13th!!! That's insane! We have a ton of different things in the works but just haven't had the chance to upload them to the server yet. Hope everyone had a Merry Merry Christmas and got to spend some much needed time with loved ones. We are really excited for 2009 and hope to hit the ground running with new releases and possibly some themes! We've been itching to release some of the themes we've been working on. Get pumped! All the stuff we will be coming out with will help you inexpensively give your site more professionalism and that polished look we are all going for! Stay Tuned!

Frames!

2008-10-13T21:41:00.000-07:00

YAYYYYY it's here with over 40 different styles.... "FRAMES." This is inspired by the theme by elixirgraphics called gallery. With these addons you can make your site look that much better. These took quite awhile to do but we wanted to offer you more selection (3 different gloss variations per style!) Hopefully you enjoy them! Happy Weaving!

Finally!

2008-10-12T17:22:00.000-07:00

Finally! RapidWeaver was giving us a lot of headaches lately because we couldn't get our add-ons to work with the new 4.0 version. After installing the update of 4.2 things are going much better. Although there are still a lot of bugs we will be releasing some new styles! We're excited for some of the new Collage 2 styles we have in the works. Stay tuned! :)

More Collage 2 Add-ons!

2008-06-09T14:45:00.000-07:00

Because we also do screenprinting, we figured it might be kind of a cool idea to do a t-shirt type collage 2 add. Also, you can never go wrong with a shiny stage to put it on. Enter..... STAGE! The latest Collage 2 Add-on for RapidWeaver! Check it out here ENJOY! :)

Everyone loves sports! I know that some might be offended that we didn't include curling and olympic horseshoe tossing, but I'm sure we'll work those in down the road. For now, enjoy this new Kwix Add-on Style that can be used for a team website, physical therapy navigation, etc. Have fun with it! Also, don't forget to read the "read-me" when you order it for specific details. Thanks! :)

Woody!

2008-05-10T17:09:00.000-07:00

A classy new style inspired by the billions of sites out there that use woodgrain in one way or another!

It could be used for an outdoors site, a real estate home showing site, or even a surf style blog that you want to cook up. The other cool thing about this style is that it comes with 3 different pictures. You can use all hardwood, all dark wood, or all oak if you want. Just style according to your preference!

New Kwix Bundle!

2008-05-01T11:57:00.000-07:00

So we've added a new bundle today because people are sick of buying them one at a time. You even save 7 bucks, so go buy yourself a Big Mac meal or something :) The new bundle has 5 of our most "premium" add-ons that can make any navigation bar Pop! Hollywood, Crimson, Treasure Map, Hippie, and a brand new style called "Summer Dress." Hope you like em!

2 New Accordion Themes

2008-04-25T02:20:00.001-07:00

In response to the realmacsoftware.com forums we have decided to create 2 new accordion add-ons. There is one called "Glass Arrow" that is meant to be left justified and has a nifty image that when clicked will display a different image with an arrow, showing the user which accordion topic is selected (only if you want though.) The other theme is called "SmoothNStripe" and is meant to be left or right justified. We wanted to come up with SmoothNStripe so that you guys and gals could use them for a variety of different website themes. That's why we also provided them in a few different color options. Check em out!

Jump for Joy!

2008-04-21T15:18:00.000-07:00

We just released two more really attractive Kwix Add-ons as well as a cool left justified accordion add-on (due to the suggestions we received in the realmacsoftware forums). We are really proud of these new styles and they took quite a bit of time to develop because they are "artsy" and required a higher level of photoshop skill and care. First, the we have released one of my personal favorites called "Hollywood." This gives the impression that your icon is sitting on a stage in front of a crowd.

The spotlight shines down on it and gives whatever product or icon you are trying to feature a nice glow. The next add-on we have just finished for the Kwix plugin is called "Hippie." This one makes us smile because not only is it beautiful tie dye, but it's called "Hippie" I mean, common, how can you not smile right? Lastly we have released a style for Accordion called "Glass Arrow." We like to keep the names fairly self explanatory so check them all out. They will all come in useful someday whether you are using it for your site or a clients. Happy Weaving!

Crimson

2008-04-20T16:37:00.000-07:00

Just made a new style called "Crimson"

It's a really clean looking kwix-addon. It's nice and shiny and looks like it could even be a piece of scrumptious candy. Hope you like it!

Screenprinting?!?! No WAY!

2008-04-19T19:17:00.001-07:00

So we just posted the screenprinting link on our website and we'd been meaning to do it for awhile now. We are currently building another company that will have a much more robust website specifically for screenprinting and those who want to start their own clothing lines. Afterall, I have been running nfparadise.com for quite some time now and have had many requests for guidance throughout the years. Until the other screenprinting site is up (fastshion.com), users can submit a quote form under the screenprinting section and we'll give manual quotes. There's also a nifty little automatic quote form in that same section but it isn't as accurate as a specific quote we come up with for you. Anywho, we're excited about this new feature of our site so take a look at it and give us some feedback. I know the compatibility section still needs some work... Thanks!

Ahoy MATEY!

2008-04-18T17:10:00.000-07:00

It's true! We have a new kwix style!

It's called "treasure map" and the inspiration came from a client that wanted us to design a site that involved camping, family outings, and just the general great outdoors. Also, being from Idaho, the inspiration is right outside our window! Anyways, this is a fun add-on that comes with three different treasure map layouts.

Use it to your hearts desire. Also, we confirmed our ordering system today and no more waiting around for files! Right when you order is completed, you are passed to a secure server that has the designated download link. Now we can just focus on new add-ons. Hopefully you enjoy this little product, it should come in useful for those family blogs

and other client projects! Thanks!

YAY!

2008-04-17T09:30:00.000-07:00

Hooray for the people at Vibralogix!!!! I have successfully bypassed the need for e-junkie and when you order anything from our site...you receive a download link immediately as well as an e-mail that contains the download link. Better yet, it is 100% secure so hackers don't try and find the links to my products hosted on another server (tricky)! :) Although e-junkie does pop up in that nifty shadowbox (this is something I will be working towards in the future) it is still approximately $20 a month for the amount of products I offer. For the same functionality I now have for a one-time payment of

$30!

Now... for the beautifying process :) Hopefully you are as excited as I am to receive instant gratification!!! Hopefully I can come up with a tutorial that will allow you to do the same thing. The applications I have been using throughout this process are: Textmate (for easier coding), Transmit (for ftp uploading)

Mals-e (for my cart, it's free), and Paypal (for my secure payment processing). Although I used these programs, you can you normal text editors (textedit) and your hosting service's cpanel in replacement of Textmate and Transmit. Either way, I'm stoked and you should be toooo! Here is a screenshot of the cart allowing you to proceed to the download where you are provided a link to your purchased files.

And to celebrate... we are offering 25% off of all products. Get 'em now, the deal will only last for 24 hours :) Code=

TRIPLEBYPASS

ARGGGHH!

2008-04-16T19:45:00.000-07:00

So we made progress today with the super secret e-junkie bypass...(sounds like a medical procedure) and found that we have to send automatic e-mails via smtp so to not get blocked. The nice people at Vibralogix (they're based in the UK and the time difference takes a little getting used to) wrote me an e-mail today and have fixed the bug, so hopefully you won't run into it in the future if you decide to use it for your cart.

Just thought I'd log my adventures in php land. You can be expecting a tutorial when it's all finished. I also wrote this just so I could put up another angry icon... soo cute.

Trying!

2008-04-14T14:56:00.000-07:00

So I've been trying for the last 24 hours to use a different payment method than e-junkie just to prove to myself that I could and let me tell you, it is a pain in the neck! I am using mals e-commerce to integrated with paypal to send a remote link when an order is confirmed to a php script called linklok. However, the linklok script is a little faulty because it keeps sending e-mails with the "from" box filled as "nobody." This then gets tagged as spam and will not let the downloadable links appear in the customer's basket. Don't worry, you can still order, all of this crazy stuff is going on in testing and won't be uploaded until I figure it out.

Anyways, if there is anyone out there who knows how to fix phpmailer to not send as "nobody" let me know! Until then, I will be manually sending you folks the links. Happy Weaving!!!

Holy Cow!

2008-04-13T16:55:00.001-07:00

So we just updated our site a bit and changed some of our buttons from the boring paypal graphic to ones that we designed with that nifty "button builder" program. Also, you'll notice that when you add something to the cart... it is a lot more pretty than the average paypal cart. We are experimenting with mals-e and think we are onto something really interesting. We might just be posting a killer tutorial soon.

Also, thanks to everyone in the realmacsoftware.com forums for helping us weed through the problems on this site. We can now accept comments on the blog posts so feel free to leave us some love!

A Little Confusion

2008-04-12T00:50:00.000-07:00

Having an e-junkie account is definitely a luxury and being a rather risk adverse person, as well as a college student, I haven't had the resources to set one up. Also, I like to release little add-ons here and there and e-junkie likes to charge for each product we add so sorry for the lack of instan gratification regarding purchases. However, I check the e-mail everyday and get the orders out ASAP because I know buyer's remorse can set in the first few hours after a purchase and that's never fun for anyone! Thanks for the support though and hopefully you stick with us until we can afford it :( HAPPY WEAVING!!! ps. it'd be really nice if there was a free alternative to e-junkie. If anyone knows anything of the sort, let me know! contact@rapidweaverdesign.com
Thanks!

Site Launch!

2008-04-07T14:49:00.000-07:00

Hello and welcome to RapidWeaver Design!

We design stuff for RapidWeaver! We have just went live with the site 2 days ago and we are having a great response. When you download files from the site (we don't have a fancy e-junkie account just yet) we will promptly e-mail you the files. I know it is a lot easier to have an automatic link to the download

but I guess we just aren't high rollin' just yet :)

Anyways, thanks for stopping by the site and we hope to include discount codes and possibly tutorials soon, so you should subscribe to our RSS feed and be the early bird.

Have a look around the site! We have add-ons for Kwix, Accordion, and Carousel!!!
