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.
Theme: Power Shoulders & Romantic Draping
During her theater runs and guest-starring roles, Bernadette participated in several editorial-style photoshoots for magazines like Jet, Right On!, and Ebony. Here, we see her experiment with structure.
A retrospective of BernNadette Stanis’s fashion photography reveals two distinct, yet complementary, modes of presentation: the accessible girl-next-door and the high-fashion glamour girl.
A. The Magazine Era: Jet, Ebony, and Right On! Stanis was a staple on the covers of Black periodicals throughout the 1970s. These photoshoots were pivotal in the community, providing a mirror for Black girls to see themselves reflected as beautiful and valuable. bernadette stanis nude photos
B. The "Glamour Girl" Evolution As the 1970s transitioned into the 1980s, Stanis’s photoshoots matured. Moving away from the bohemian prints of her early career, her gallery began to feature structured silhouettes—tailored blazers, sequined evening gowns, and statement jewelry. These images reflected a shift in the portrayal of Black women in media: from "sweetheart" to "powerhouse." Promotional shots for her post-Good Times projects and her literary career showcase a woman who commands the room, utilizing fashion as armor and expression.
Theme: Afro Puffs, Bold Colors, & Groovy Silhouettes
In the early photos from the Good Times set and promotional shoots, Bernadette’s style was pure youthful energy. Think high-waisted plaid trousers, wrap-front tops in tangerine and mustard, and the iconic oversized hair bows that became her trademark. Theme: Power Shoulders & Romantic Draping During her
The core of Stanis’s fashion legacy lies in her work on Good Times. The costume design for Thelma Evans was a masterclass in balancing youthful energy with sophisticated trendsetting.
A. The Silhouette and the Spin Stanis is perhaps most visually synonymous with the halter-neck maxi dress. Photoshoots from the era frequently capture her in flowing, jersey-knit fabrics that emphasized movement. The iconic image of Stanis spinning in a vibrant, patterned dress became a visual shorthand for 1970s joy and freedom. These images, widely circulated in fan magazines like Right On! and Jet, cemented her status as a style leader.
B. The "Middle" Phenomenon A crucial element of the Stanis style gallery is her hair. During an era where the Afro was a powerful political and fashion statement, Stanis popularized the "middle"—a sleek, sophisticated, and versatile natural hairstyle. In high-fashion photoshoots, her hair was often adorned with headbands or styled in a way that framed her face with regal precision. This aesthetic offered a softer, yet equally empowered, alternative to the larger Afros seen on contemporaries like Angela Davis, influencing how young Black women viewed their own hair texture.

To walk through Bernadette Stanis’s style gallery is to identify three immutable fashion rules:
Stanis’s on-screen style—high-waisted trousers, crochet tops, and satin headwraps—defined the young, stylish Black woman of the decade. Off-screen, she favored soft chiffon maxi dresses and denim looks with a polished twist.

For millions of television viewers in the 1970s, Bernadette Stanis didn’t just play a character; she defined an archetype. As Thelma Evans on the iconic sitcom Good Times, Stanis became the blueprint for the sharp, stylish, and ambitious young Black woman. But to limit her legacy to a single role is to miss the rich visual tapestry of her career. Through a series of striking photoshoots, evolving fashion moments, and a personal style gallery that spans five decades, Bernadette Stanis has proven that her real-life elegance far outshines her fictional counterpart.
Introduction Before the reign of #OOTD and red carpet livestreams, there was Bernadette Stanis—better known to the world as Thelma Evans from Good Times. For decades, fans have adored her for breaking the "jealous girlfriend" mold and bringing warmth, intelligence, and undeniable beauty to television. But off-screen, Bernadette has quietly curated a stunning visual legacy of her own. From 1970s disco glam to sophisticated modern red carpets, this style gallery celebrates the evolution of a true original.
