Source is a 'micro' framework for RapidWeaver that is modern, lightweight, fast and powerful.
Shaking the HabitualYes - there is another new kid on the block! It's called 'Source' and it is a new lightweight CSS 'micro' framework for your RapidWever projects.
There are already some great frameworks available for RapidWeaver but there are a few reasons / scenarios where I think using Source might well appeal to you:
That's right, it costs you nothing to get access to a framework that you can use to build great sites. Now, on top of having to buy RapidWeaver and the awesome Stacks plugin, you no longer need to also buy a framework before being able to build beautiful free form sites.
Source uses only the bare minimum code to set up your sites - e.g. to set up your colours and your fonts etc. (If that is all that you are currently using the likes of Foundry or Foundation to do then you are adding a lot of unnecessary code and bloat to your sites!)
Because it is lightweight, it operates really fast in Edit, Preview and Publish modes.
Source comes with its own small set of stacks which are enough to build amazing sites. (There is also a completely optional addon pack which lets you make even more amazing sites!)
Source is all about forming a base for your sites. It doesn't (and never will) include a Slider stack or a Gallery stack or an Accordion stack or a Tabs stack or a Contact Form stack etc etc. Source is there to let you use all of the great (non-framework dependant!) stacks that you no doubt already have in your collections!
The demo projects that are available are full of guidance about how to get the most out of Source. In addition you can get FREE ACCESS to a full video course on our Academy website (find out more).
So, they are the main reasons why I think Source is awesome (I've also written a blog post with a bit more detail if you are interested). Go give it a spin and let me know if you agree!
