I’m finally getting all of these projects to a point where they can be released. Tabouli was released earlier this week as you know, but I have Lightside and Aerolite for RapidWeaver about ready too. I’ve posted their demos, which are a work in progress, at the following locations. Just remember, I’m using these to prep the theme (strange things can happen), but you’re welcome to get a taste of what’s coming by previewing them:
Tabouli Professional for RapidWeaver Demo
Lightside for RapidWeaver Demo
Aerolite for RapidWeaver Demo
I’m considering a pre-release special deal for Lightside and Aerolite. If you’re interested, please send me an email or use the contact form to let me know. I’ll swing anyone a 25% discount on these two themes and if you want to buy all three, Tabouli Pro, Lightside and Aerolite, I’ll give you 33% discount. That’s basically a “3 for the price of 2″ deal.
You have to realize however that until the final release of Lightside and Aerolite, you’re getting a pre-release version which won’t be entirely complete (mostly that means it doesn’t include all the color variations yet) and it may have some browser bugs that need to be resolved.
Once these themes are finalized and officially released, they’ll be normal price.
I don’t have the themes in my database yet, but I can do that this weekend if I get enough interest in this deal.
I’m out this evening and most of the day tomorrow but will be back at it Saturday late afternoon and evening.
Create cool stuff!
Brilliant. I have just migrated to Rapidweaver and am beginning the learning curve. Now I can take you with me. Love the aerolite and lightside but happy to leave the coding nightmares of iWeb.
Best,
Jamie
Oh yeah, I forgot, count me in on the 3 for 1!
Jamie - I love hearing from you guys all the time. I’ve received and written A LOT of emails over the last 2.5 years. I don’t think I’ve forgotten a name yet. Good to see you show up here again.
RapidWeaver can do some very nice stuff - the plug-ins are a nice piece of that. I like building traditional themes too. It’s good all around.
I’ll get back to you later on the “3 for 2″ deal. I’m just getting home and have to feed the family and unpack from the day, etc.
Looking forward to these new themes. They look great!
Hey Suzanne:
I’m chomping at the bit to try your new Rapidweaver demos. I’ve been learning the Rapidweaver ropes for the last three days solid and their built-in themes don’t hold a candle to anything you make. I’m looking forward to creating my own themes, but more forward to using yours as I know they will come with no headaches attached. I’m a big 11 mystics fan.
No cool Bitsumishi font for Aerolite? Make it at least Helvetica … but a serif font just doesn’t fit. :-D
I’m working on putting stuff together today Jamie. I’ll keep you posted via email :)
Max what are you talking about? At the moment, the font specified (in the demo) for headings is Optima, with Lucida Grande as the secondary. So if you don’t have Optima installed, you’re seeing Lucida Grande - neither of which are serif fonts.
These themes have 13 heading font family options which can easily be edited to suit your personal needs. Using Bitsumishi would be useless though, since it’s not a web font - no one would see it except for people who bothered to find it on the web and install it.
I wasn’t saying this in any negative way! :-) I also know that Bitsmuishi isn’t a font that works well in the web (if at all) - it was a joke.
I just thought that Aerolite is something modern and then I see a font in your demo which does kind of look a bit newspaperish (whether serif or not). But whatever … other than that I like the themes :-)
Well I agree with you there dude… it’s not what what made Aerolite popular. Kinda stuck with the limitations of RW that way.
You would not believe how tricky it is to get the header to accommodate the logo, site title and tagline. I have never written such crazy HTML and CSS. You have to consider whether the logo will be present or not, whether the content is left, center or right aligned, how the text will align vertically to the logo, if the logo is there, and how it aligns when the logo is not there. Gads!
