Hi, this is more feedback for RealMac rather than a question. I hope it’s ok to post it here. If not please do remove.

I really like the Elements product just as I liked RapidWeaver Classic. I’m not a web developer, just a speaker who needs a website. I think the elements video and the Manual are perhaps too advanced for me. The Rapidweaver ones started at ground level and I could clearly see what I needed to do. The Elements video often start after the basics and I can’t get to the start point.

As an example, I tried to password protect a section and I’ve watched the video but it says that php must be enabled for it to work. . . but it doesn’t show how I do that. There are quite a few things which assume some knowledge. Might I put a plea in to Dan and Ben to take the extra minute or two to cover basics when possible? It would make a difference to me and possibly to other non-professional folks trying to get the best out of your superb web builder.

The community is great here and I know that I can get help and I’ll probably ask some questions soon to clarify a few issues. The product is super. Thank you.

All good wishes, Sarah

RapidWeaver Elements 1.6.3 (23992)
