This program lets you create a professional-looking website pages in an easy way. You don't need to be an html wizard to create a good webpage. Using the program, you have access a wide variety of templates that you can use "as is" or adapt them to your needs. If you decide to use a template (which you can get from the developer by paying the corresponding fee), it is possible to edit it differently, from simply substituting the text and headers, to changing the color pattern, adding photos, shapes and/or clipart, and so on.
If you decide to start from scratch, you can select the resolution for your project, as well as its size. Again, you can add photos, shapes, clipart, text, and use the color scheme you need. The program has all the tools you need to perform these and many more functions.
Maybe the only drawback of the program is its cost, which is not very affordable. Nevertheless, you can try the program before deciding whether you want to buy it or not. To download the trial version, you need to register during the installation process by typing your e-mail address and choosing your country. The trial version can be used for 7 days. You can extend the trial period to 30 days by registering your copy at the developer's website.
v9.2 [Sep 26, 2013]
Direct support for Google Fonts & a new Google Font picker
- Every document has the perfect font, so you can never have too many of them. Google has recently shaken up the font world by offering a large and growing collection of fonts for free. We bring that collection right into the font picker with a new Google Fonts section where you can preview and select fonts from the current 600 Google Fonts collection. What’s more, if you import a document with Google fonts then the fonts will be automatically downloaded and installed.
A 'pull' option extends the automatic page resizing and object positioning feature
- Automatic object positioning and smart page resizing was one of the big hits of v8, because it’s such a great time saver; extended the feature so that it works in reverse, automatically adjusting the position of objects and shortening the page when you delete text or objects on the page.
An easy way of re-coloring elements in complex grouped objects & web backgrounds
- There’s a much faster way of changing the individual colors in grouped objects such as clipart, NavBars, buttons and web page backgrounds. When you drag & drop a color onto the group, you’ll see a list of all the colors in the group, simply pick the one you want to change (changing a theme color converts it to a local color).
Drag & drop NavBar replacement
- A really easy way of replacing NavBars in your document with a new NavBar design. Simply drag and drop the new design from the Designs Gallery onto the current NavBar in your document. All features of the existing NavBar such as menus and links are automatically copied.
Improved web page background handling
- Backgrounds behind your web page that fill the whole of the browser window (regardless of how wide the window is or how big your monitor) are all the fashion, whether they are graduated fills or textures or simply headings that stretch across the whole window.
Improved web font embedding
- Xara’s innovative font embedding technology gives you the freedom to use a much wider range of fonts on your website than the traditional limited ‘web safe’ fonts, by embedding fonts in the uploaded site (where license permits); enhanced the export so that the embedded font files are much smaller.
Improvements to the creation & editing of web presentations
- Changes to the presentation feature make it more intuitive and quicker.
Retina screen compatibility
- Most of the latest versions of iOS and Android devices support superb quality ‘Retina’ graphics. Web Designer 9 automatically creates the high-resolution photos and web graphics required for Retina displays - you need do nothing - but the web pages are smart and only load the correct resolution graphics for the browser being used.
Simpler publishing to MAGIX Online World
- To make publishing your website as easy as possible, Web Designer includes a free hosting offer from MAGIX Online World (includes 500MB for Web Designer, or 2000MB for Web Designer Premium.)
Improved HTML5 compatibility
- Web Designer 9 automatically makes use of HTML5 whenever it can, so you get a state of the art website without having to do anything or understand anything about HTML; ensured that your graphics are exported in the best format for current browsers (shapes such as rectangles, rounded rectangles with grad fills and transparency, shadows, text with shadows and page backgrounds, are displayed using native HTML not memory hungry PNGs) . It’s more efficient, and that means your site will be faster.
Improved speed and quality for JPEG / PNG
- An improved JPEG / PNG converter means significantly improved import / export times, and a subtle quality improvement.
More efficient tile bitmap export
- Rectangles that contain a tiling bitmap fill or a simple axis aligned graduated fill are now exported more efficiently as a single tile, set to repeating (rather than having the whole object rendered as a single large bitmap).
