I use Rapidweaver from version 3 and have built many site in it. So in recent years I have been using RW Classic and that in combination with Total CMS. How easy can I easily convert a website built with TCMS to an Elements website. Especially the website [https://floravannederland.nl](https://floravannederland.nl) is a complex and large website. Because in addition to building the site in RW, parts of this site are also built and integrated by a database on a call basis. The question is whether this can be easily rebuilt. If not then the second question is, "How long will RapidWeaver Classic continue to be supported?

Greetings  
Ton

Hi Ton,

I think you’ll eventually be able to re-create this in Elements with our new CMS, you could possibly do it now, but it would require some custom components/code.

We plan to continue to support Classic for the foreseeable future, so don’t worry on that front.

However, I’d recommend, keeping an eye on the Elements CMS and investigate a little more heavily in a few more months to see how things are shaping up 🙂

Cheers,  
Dan

There is obviously a typo here… “in a few more months to see how things are shaping up”. I’m sure what was meant is: “in a few more _ **days** _ to see how things are shaping up”.
