Source

Micro framework

The building blocks to create amazing freeform websites in Rapidweaver and Stacks

The best things come in small packages

You don't need full, bloated frameworks and hundreds of stacks to build amazing websites.
Source offers an alternative approach to page building in RapidWeaver / Stacks by providing phenomenal power and flexibility in a gloriously lightweight, modern and efficient 'micro' framework.
And not only that....it's completely FREE to get started!

Build any site you wish!

Source contains the most powerful layout stacks available for RapidWeaver/Stacks. No matter what design and page layout you want to go with, Source has your back. The only barrier is your imagination.

And if you find starting with a blank page daunting then we have countless demo files and projects to get you off to a flying start!

Powerful collection of stacks

Source (and the Addon pack) contain around 25 stacks that are spectacularly powerful and flexible - empowering you to create any web page layout that you can imagine! You will only need to turn to the Stacks Marketplace for specialist stacks that provide particular functionality.

If Google cares then so should you

Traditional frameworks (e.g. those based on Bootstrap / Foundation) throw the kitchen sink at each page with tons of redundant code that does nothing but slow your pages down. Source approaches things from the other direction and adds only minimal, modern code to the page resulting in fast and efficient pages.

If ranking on Google is important to you then you really need to be thinking about how fast and efficient your web pages are. Run your site through Lighthouse or similar tools to see how it fares and see what improvements can be made.

There is simply no better framework to support you achieving top marks than Source.

Source has been a joy to work with! I've never gotten such amazing scores in PageSpeed Insights with any other theme. There's a bit of a learning curve involved, but it's definitely worth the investment! Highly recommended!

I have two other frameworks for Rapidweaver Foundry and Foundation 6 but Source is by far the lightest, fastest, cheapest and easiest to use and Stuart's support is second to none. Excellent all round especially with the add on stacks.

Still need convincing?

Here are a few more reasons that set Source apart and make it such a good choice in comparison to other frameworks.
Note: Hit the external-link-alt links to read a bit more about that topic!

For all levels

Source caters for all needs and levels, from absolute beginners to web design professionals.

CSS grid

The real power in Source comes from its adoption of CSS Grid. This allows you to build amazing layouts and grid components (like this one!).

Innovative

As Source isn't based on a slowly developing framework we can embrace changes early. Source was the first framework to support dark mode, CSS variables, CSS grid and more!

Accessible

Good web pages are more than just pretty designs. The underlying html should be structured in a semantically correct way and also be completely accessible to those with special needs.

You can rest assured that Source has been built with all of this in mind.

Affordable excellence

Why spend hundreds of dollars on stacks when you can build amazing websites only with Source?! With the added benefit of improved page speeds.

Endlessly flexible

There are hundreds of add-on stacks available but with a bit of smart/lateral thinking you will find that you can get Source to achieve some pretty incredible things.

The stacks

Source and the Addon pack give you around 25 stacks to build your sites with. The power and flexibility of these mean they can rival the far larger frameworks.

If you need additional functionality for your site (a slider or a gallery etc) you can turn to the Stacks marketplace for a best-in-class third party stack.

Integrations

There are an ever-increasing number of third-party stacks that include seamless integration with Source (e.g. by tapping into its colour scheme or its underlying code base).
