How I use Rapidweaver to Build Websites. Rapidweaver Themes Tutorial. Some themes are extremely variable, with extensive inbuilt flexibility. For purposes of this tutorial I am going to call these “pro themes”. These themes are ( by and large) created by third party developers, offer far more variability than the Realmac themes and can be purchased for between 10 and 20USD. I will point out that Realmac does not directly support third party products, but they do facilitate your obtaining support on the forums. If you use the pro themes, your theme selection process will shift and you will find that you choose a theme based more on its structure and less on aesthetic issues, like colors, because often with the pro themes, all of the colors can be easily changed in the color wheel pane.

The pro themes are often very visually interesting and up to date with the latest web design trends, so you might choose to use them as they come; but they also can serve as a launch pad for your own creativity or as a bare framework for your own design.
