I am looking to create a static website (very basic) and host on AWS S3. I can do this with manually created site as it requires the index.html file to be referenced but with the .rw6 file created through Rapidweaver it is struggling to handle it! Anyone else worked around this?

As S3 is no web server, the links generated by RW must be full qualified.  
Check in the project settings that you have **not** tidy website links enabled.
