uikit themes
I have just been looking at the uikit (v2) showcase site - https://getuikit.com/v2/showcase/index.html
There are several downloadable 'Themes' in the list of sites created with uikit. Generally I avoid using themes/templates but there are a couple here which have tempted me.
Is there any way of enabling those themes so they work with Rapidweaver + Uikit? I suspect this is way beyond my abilities but thought I would ask in case it's a simple matter of adding a bit of extra script to the theme files.
On a completely separate note - Lucas, from my point of view, coming from a 45 year background of page layout and typography for print, your uikit for rapidweaver is the most intuitivley useable and best designed framework available. I have tried all of those available with Rapidweaver. You certainly deserve to gain more and more Rapidweaver users. I will take advantage of all opportunities I see on the Rapidweaver forum to subtly promote your product.
Best wishes

Hey Langley, those themes are all for the YOOtheme Pro constructor for Wordpress. Therefor I doubt I could enable any of them for RapidWeaver and Stacks, although they are all based on UIkit versions. But I could consider reproducing them, is there any in particular that you'd be interest in? They are all listed here; https://yootheme.com/themes
Thanks for the kind words Langley. Truth is that UIkit for RapidWeaver is not popular at all, maybe I'm doing something wrong on the advertising department :)
Part from the forums a nice review on the UIkit listing would also help: https://rapidweavercommunity.com/addons/stacks/uikit-3

Lucas, thank you for enlightening me about those themes. It is probably a good thing they aren't available as it will force me work out the potential of your uikit 3 and stacks.
It's hard to know why your uikit framework hasn't been adopted by large numbers of Rapidweaver users. It is so well designed and really very easy and intuitive to use. It makes me wonder - are most Rapidweaver users in America? I'm not suggesting that Americans are xenophopbic and it may be outlandish of me to suggest this but it's possible they might favour presentations with an American tone. Have you consulted a marketing professional?
This may or not be relavant with regard to your sales - I notice that if you search for uikit rapidweaver it takes you to this page - https://www.weaverskingdom.com/uikit/ - this in turn takes you to a page about uikit v2. Newcomers may find this confusing.

I agree with Langly, that is confusing indeed.

Just clicking through the demos, they're not 100% functional. For instance, clicking on a 'Read More' button of a blog example just jumps to the top of the page.
As a non-website creator like me, I want to be able to 'kick all the tires' before a purchase. I'm guessing that a lot of people probably get turned off by not being able to see the full functionality.

Thanks for the comments @Zamboknee
The package comes with the Tests project, other one-page projects cost just $5.
The Blog is just an example, we can use its layout with a variety of cms packages like Armadillo, Poster etc. Here’s a test page using Armadillo: http://uikitstacks.com/tests/armadillo/
