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.
v10.1 [Aug 15, 2014]
Responsive Web Design
- With the surge in popularity of browsing on mobiles and tablets it is becoming essential to create sites that are tailored to the needs of these visitors. Until now the solution has involved creating multiple sites and a good understanding of JavaScript. Web Designer 10 introduces a RWD solution that allows you to create a single file containing variants of your site at different widths, so that you website responds dynamically to the screen size of the viewer, presenting the design most appropriate to their device. And as you’d expect from Web Designer you won’t need to do any coding whatsoever! Put simply you can create multiple variants - eg desktop, tablet, phone - with shared content (eg text, photos, graphics) but with the ability to freely customize the layout of the variants to suit the target device size. The layout of the variants is entirely in your control, ensuring a quality result for mobiles and tablets. Web Designer export s a single HTML file that can dynamically change from one layout to another depending on the screen size of the viewer.
Single Page Supersites
- If you have a small or very focused site and you’re struggling to make it stand out from the crowd, you’re going to love our new concept of souped-up single page sites!
Instead of your website being presented as separate web pages in the traditional way - where you have to click a link to navigate from one page to another - you now have the option to present the whole website as one single, fast scrolling (horizontal or vertical) document using scroll or swipe to navigate. Or you can present pages one at a time in the traditional way, but with the super-slick animated page transitions, triggered by scroll or swipe gestures or clicks.
Page Transitions
- V10 offers significantly improved page transition effects including 3D effects, which are hardware accelerated, super-smooth and completely flicker free. They’re ideal for presentations, but can also be used with great effect for Supersites.
Scale To Fit
- Instead of designing presentation websites for specific screen sizes, the pages will now intelligently and automatically scale to fit any browser size (or you can set them to full-screen). You can use this for websites too, it could be a good option if, like presentations, they are relatively small sites with short pages.
SmartShapes
- An amazingly quick and easy way to create and edit some of the most commonly required shapes – for example speech bubbles, fancy arrows and text panels - with top quality results guaranteed. If you don’t have the time (or skill) to master the drawing tools you’ll no longer need to resort to clipart. Here are some examples from the Smart Shapes library (internet delivered, so more shapes will be added thru the rest of this year) that can be easily customized.
Font Awesome Symbols
- A quick & easy way to insert symbols from the large and growing Font Awesome selection. The full set is displayed via the Insert menu, simply browse and click on the symbol you require to insert it in your document as a text character or graphic.
Content Catalog
- An online extension of the Designs Gallery offering greatly improved browsing of content, within a resizeable window - especially valuable for web themes.
Widgets
- 3 photo slider widgets
- social media widgets: Instagram badge, Instagram SnapWidgets (embed your Instagram photos into a website as a photo gallery), Pinterest and LinkedIn badges
Templates
- 11 contemporary General Website Themes with up to 16 page layouts, all including mobile variants.
Auto-Rotate of Photos on Import
- You might have recently noticed that that your photos were being randomly rotated when you imported them from some modern devices. Where necessary Web Designer now does an auto detect and rotate to fix this issue.
Creating Online Presentations
- The page transitions are a great enhancement for presentations, but there are also a few other minor useability enhancements in the process of creating and viewing steps, plus two aspect ratio ‘empty’ templates (16x10 widescreen and 4:3 traditional screen).
Improved Microsoft Word and PDF Import
- Word import has been enhanced. The PDF import filter has been replaced with a new one which should already be showing improved results.
