So, I am back to the Mac world after a five year absence. I last used Rapidweaver 6 to develop a couple websites for my business and my wife’s business.

For the last few years I used Wordpress and Dreamweaver but ultimately, I liked Rapidweaver more.

Would I be better just purchasing version 9 of Classic or should I jump on [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) from the get go.

Welcome back!

I’d recommend going straight to [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/), it’s the future of RapidWeaver. 😊

Thank you. This is what I figured as well.
