Marten Claridge

Founder

Hi, I'm Marten and I'm a helpless weaverholic. I was a helpless weaverholic when I founded RapidWeaver Central in 2009 and what began as a mere addiction has now become the sole obsessive focus of my entire existence. My only saving grace is that I'm now one of the world's leading RapidWeaver consultants and help clients from all four continents seriously raise their RapidWeaver game.

Angus MacPheep

Doppelganger

Angus MacPheep is my alter ego, the man behind the mask, the right-brain to my left-brain, the yin to my yang, the ghost in my machine. Don't be fooled by his suave good looks and reckless disregard for convention — he's the real driving-force behind RapidWeaver Central. Whereas I'm a methodical drone, a highly organized get-things-done businessnerd with an internal dialogue comprised solely of the latest marketing buzzwords, MacPheep is a madly intuitive aesthete with a wild imagination who makes inspirational leaps of faith and conjures pixel-perfect design magic from the uninspiring ether. He's also a real hit with the ladies.


What We Offer

Our international services range from full website design, through one-to-one help, support, mentoring and tuition, to SEO, graphics and copywriting — and are ideal for busy Weavers who don't have the time or need to learn all the coding intricacies that can elevate their website to the next professional level.

We've had some major successes in the last year, including a $6000 Christmas giveaway competition and a highly original monthly Newsletter that is more than a letter and better than the news. We also now have a daily Resource Tweet for our Twitter followers, a Facebook page, plus our regular monthly Resource Train.

In the beginning there was The Seeker, an animated popup searchbar. Then in February 2011 we launched iCentral, our free iPhone App for Weaverholics Worldwide. And we're not stopping there. Already in the works is our very first stack which we'll be releasing into the wild early in 2012, and our first RapidWeaver book. Watch this space!

Why The Fuss

What makes Marten especially valuable is that he is ahead of all of the latest tools and ideas that can be used inside RapidWeaver. He is also a great teacher.  What is really refreshing is that he most often does it in minutes, not hours.   Our project turnaround times have been cut exponentially!

Jim S

Portsmouth USA
Having a mentor when starting a project allows one to reach higher from the start, it eliminates the need to stay safely within the confines of methods already mastered. It is invaluable to get a truthful opinion, Marten is not afraid to tell you politely but firmly that your much loved project is a mess.

Ellie W

Los Angeles USA

His ability to take my minimal concepts and direction and to turn them into a beautiful, fully functional and effective website would be cause enough for me to make him my only go-to web developer. That he was also able to do so in a condensed time frame and on budget is unheard of.

Marc M

Albuquerque, New Mexico
Marten is unique in that he brings to Web design a novelist's sensitivity to language as well as considerable business acumen. Working with Marten is like working with a visual artist, copywriting coach, and business advisor all wrapped up in one.

Dawn H

Wolfville, Nova Scotia

Marten is not only an expert in RapidWeaver and web development, but also someone who is genuinely concerned about doing work that is a cut above the rest. His knowledge and capability is impressive, and I have truly enjoyed working with him.

Steve W

Smithfield, Virginia

His expertise was comprehensive, his explanations specific and clear, his guidance animated by a long term vision and his goal, to get me a site up-and-running quickly. I can only recommend strongly Marten's work."
