Upgrade from RapidWeaver Writer to Pulse

Goodbye Writer, hello Pulse

Expiring Soon

Writer posts will stay live for the next 90 days, or until your yearly plan expires.
Now is the time to start upgrading.

Upgrade your Writer Sites

Power up your Writer sites with Pulse. Keep them as blogs or full-blown CMS RapidWeaver sites.

"Already in the last 5 months I have started or finished converting 20 RapidWeaver websites to Pulse. Easy integration with all my existing RapidWeaver websites, cost effective, and a 'future roadmap'."

Writer: Whatever you can do, I can do better

There's nothing in Writer that isn't better in Pulse.

Why Pulse?

Unlimited blogs

Make as many blogs as you want with no extra payments.

Not only blogs

Build full CMS sites for clients too. Allow clients to edit their whole site or just the blog.

Your hosting 100%

Install on your own server so good for GDPR and no depending on our uptime.

All features and more than Writer

Tags to categories posts, post stamping for future release, multi-lingual, better editor with more features, built-in SEO per post, social media OGP image and tag posting, better blog styles than just the standard blog..

Many more advantages

Admin & Editor users, full auto-backups, inline editing .. the list goes on. And more on the way all the time.

Issues with Writer Stack that Pulse takes away

Server reliability issues

Sometimes our Writer server would drop connections and SSL certificate renewals were a problem

GDPR stuff

Our 3rd party US based hosts (Amazon and Digital Ocean) were a problem for some EU clients. Not anymore.

Social Media Posting issues

Writer didn't seem to correctly post Social Media OGP information correctly.

Old Content Editor

The Editor interface was crooked and sometimes broke. Pulse has an expensive and robust editor included as standard.

Media embedding and adding issues

Video and image embeds were restricted to 2MB and difficult to do. Pulse has a full Media manager.

Multi-lingual issues

Dates, language translation and others were hindering Writer. Pulse is fully multi-lingual from day 1.

TIP! It's best to start a fresh, but you can import most posts using the Blog Importer inside the Pulse Admin dashboard

"The power to manage, to change and to fascinate...all this and many more powers are lying within this little but mighty CMS. I've never seen a CMS which is that easy to set up and the same can be said about the Stacks Suite."

"Brilliant CMS option for RapidWeaver! Pulse CMS is a great solution by itself but with the Pulse CMS stack, it's even better! Allowing me to integrate a full-fledged CMS into any RapidWeaver project is just incredible."
