A complete LTS (long term support) bundle of over 300 RapidWeaver themes, stacks, project files, code snippets and other assets. Previously developed by Stacks4Stacks and ThemeFlood since 2006.
For a one-off fee of $250 USD, the LTS bundle gives you renewed access to a wide choice of popular stacks and themes. Previously these were a combined value of over $3,000.
Over the years, changes to RapidWeaver and the Stacks plugin made maintaining addons increasingly challenging. Some decisions at the top conflicted with my own perspective, and I gradually became disillusioned with the platform's direction. Standards slipped to the point where I no longer felt comfortable associating my name with the platform. Usage and revenue declined sharply, making the addon business model no longer sustainable. Rather than dwell on what I couldn't change, I seized the opportunity to dedicate more towards freelance web development and some interesting projects away from the computer. After 19 years, Stacks4Stacks and ThemeFlood were sunsetted at the end of 2024, with RapidWeaver and Stacks now forming only a small part of what I do.
I know how frustrating it is when a developer steps away from their products, leaving customers stranded without support. That's why I've chosen to take a different approach. With the LTS Bundle, you get:
This ensures you're not left high and dry — you can continue using some legendary themes and stacks from a trusted independent developer, gradually explore new platforms if you choose, and always have someone to turn to if you need friendly guidance.
In the longer term, I intend to offer a much smaller, more focused collection of around eight new stacks — all centred on multimedia and practical utilities — areas where I've developed deep expertise over many years. Some of these are already complete and are planned for release alongside StacksPro, in both free and paid editions. They will remain backwards-compatible with the Stacks plugin inside RapidWeaver, for those who prefer to stay on the "classic" platform. Each one has been expertly developed, designed to be straightforward to use, and is extraordinarily powerful.
StacksPro is not available yet. Extensive testing and updates to stacks are still ongoing. In the meantime, an extended license agreement has been included, for all the stacks in the LTS Bundle. Previously, the licence only permitted use of stacks within RapidWeaver. Because StacksPro is a new standalone desktop app, this updated licence agreement has you covered for using my stacks in StacksPro.
You can use other forums and chatrooms, but please be aware these are not monitored by me. The RapidWeaver user manual covers most general topics relating to RapidWeaver 8 and Classic. ChatGPT is also familiar with my addons and can usually provide helpful guidance.
I understand that purchasing a large bundle can feel like a big commitment. You may request a no-quibble refund within 30 days of your purchase, provided that you:
This ensures fairness for both parties while maintaining the integrity of the bundle. A refund can only be made to the original purchase method used. It may take up to seven days for your refund to be credited.
Invoicing and the setup of membership accounts when payment is received is handled manually by myself. I try to fulfill orders as quickly as possible, but sometimes it may take longer than expected due to other commitments. Again RapidWeaver is only a small part of what I do. I appreciate your patience and understanding, in this regard!
"After switching to RapidWeaver from GoLive, Will's themes and stacks were a life changer. His things were affordable, well organised, flexible and saved me countless hours. What really stood out was Will's support: patient, prompt, courteous and genuinely helpful.
I was REALLY disappointed to hear he was stepping back from addon development. This was a devastating loss to the community, but I understand the reasoning. I appreciate the help he's still offering me.
The [LTS Bundle] gives me everything I need to keep my sites running for years without spending another penny. After all the changes in the RapidWeaver world, it's a huge relief to have something stable and dependable again.
Now aged 76, I honestly don't need Foundations, Elements, subscriptions, all the cringeworthy marketing hype each week, or endless new addons! I just need the tools I already know, working properly. This offering has taken a weight off my mind. Thank you, Will."

These notes set out how the bundle works in practice, so you know exactly what to expect before purchasing.
Many of these addons were created over a long period of nearly twenty years, and a few reflect earlier development methods rather than the more modern standards I follow today. They remain reliable and useful for many projects, but it's worth being aware that approaches and techniques evolve over time. The bundle is offered with a deliberately relaxed licence — you are free to use the addons on all the websites you build and to install them on any of your own computers. This is intended to keep the collection practical, straightforward, and good value for long-term use.
