> [@nickfromcornwall](#): > > Can you describe the best way to work with images. In the demo you are just dragging images over from the left to add to your site as required. Before we add images to Elements how much work do we need to do? When code is generated for the website are images resized as needed, do we have the option for 2x retina images? What optimisation is Elements doing to help create fast loading sites? Yes, our built-in Elements have options for resizing images. The Image element has options to leave images as they are, optimise for different breakpoints, or resize to a set size. ![CleanShot 2024-05-24 at 8 .08.15@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/2/c/2c7ed526f5d6ef4362f2c2107c7243a3300dc993.jpeg) > [@Heroic\_Nonsense](#): > > Will the final release version come with a (contact) form functionality?

I think the output in general will be more semantic and flexible, and we’re keen to continue to improve things once the beta ships. > [@gfcreative](#): > > How easy to customize CSS on any item? Do we use traditional CSS or are you planning on adding any tools? Right now, you can add css classes to Elements, ideally you’d use Tailwind classes, but you could also write some css. There’s no visual tools for this included right now. But it is something we’d like to explore further in the future. > [@gfcreative](#): > > Last question - the final HTML or PHP that gets uploaded…how light is the coding? I recall programs like Muse leaving a heavy fingerprint that Google did not appreciate too well. We only export what’s required (in both CSS and JS), so the sites should be very efficient. > [@jspencer2](#): > > Are there any plans for a blog in Elements? Also, what about a CMS? Yes, we’d like to include some basic blog functionality in Elements, I don’t know if that will be part of the beta just yet. We also have local data (we’ll be showing that off soon), this is like a local CMS and I could see it being expanded further in the future to allow for online editing. > [@upssjw](#): > > The HTML editor built into Rapidweaver Elements, rather than just popping up from the bottom would it be possible to pop out / detach, working on two screens would create more space to view page, just a thought Good suggestion, maybe we could add an option for that 🤔 * * * Phew, I hope that answers everyone’s questions 😅 I’m off to make a cup of tea now… ---

Will you provide some kind of tutorial video, user guide or sample project with the release of Elements beta? ---

Does Elements support [Tailwind Typography](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-typography)? I’m curious as the mention of the data sources piqued my interest. I can imagine storing text with rudimentary HTML markup in datasets that would be nice to have styled automatically using the typography defaults (and overrides). It would be even more interesting if the data sources could include markdown which is rendered to HTML when it’s injected in the element(s). ---

This is an interesting idea. It begs the question of how elegantly a designer can override the default and how that override is implemented on the output. ---

> [@anon68150607](#): > > Does Elements support [Tailwind Typography](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-typography) Yes, we have the official Tailwind Typography plugin installed - it’s already being utilised in a couple of the built-in elements 🙂 ---

Hi there, I have just purchased Elements! I’m very excited to learn how to use it. I have built my own WordPress site and theme before, but as I’ve aged I cannot keep up and need a more visual solution. I’m interested if there’s a demo/vanilla template available with placeholder markdown so I can understand the CMS a bit more. I may have missed it but I can’t see one available. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! ---

Me again! I’ve been playing with the blog and it’s pretty cool. Personally I’d rather move away from any php running on the site. Are there any plans to allow for export of a markdown blog site to export to a flat html site, rather like how static site generators do?
