Show Us Your Xtreme 4 created Website!

[steve.ledger]

Great idea Gary!
I'd really like to see how others are using only Xara software to design & create their own or a clients website

So here's one I completed earlier this week entirely in Xtreme4*.
(*The Gallery pages only show images edited in Xtreme)

► DrillNorth

Took around 6½ hrs which included three email communications (more photos supplied etc) with client who was as happy as I was that it was done in one day.
Popups were optional of course, but I had to try them out

Sledger, the banner is 285K! It's pretty slow to load.

My only criticism is that the images are way, way too large in terms of file size.

Yes you're right Paul - though they load pretty quickly here (on an empty cache), I admit slower connections would make them slower to load.
I just changed the banners to jpg (39.8KB now).
The popup photos with drop shadows have to be PNG I'm afraid.
At least popups are optional.

Thanks for looking

Sledger,

Great job.

I can see X4 is going to make web page life a lot easier without much stress.
When I get time, I am looking forwarding to making a web page in X4.

Cheers Rupert..

I agree, I'm all for quickies so long as they look good - Xtreme4 will definately make that possible..

Good luck.

Hi Steve,
Nice site!

The popup photos with drop shadows have to be PNG I'm afraid.

You could try to export pop-ups as JPEG too, even though they have a shadow. If it looks bad, than you can separate shadow from the image and export image as JPEG and shadow as PNG (default). I have illustrated this approach in the attached file.
As you may see, all files are small and pop-up looks good.

Hope this helps.

Hi

without in any way being critical as an avid web site designer ( User of Dreamweaver CS3) can I suggest that having valid html code is important.

I quick purusal of some of the code in the web sites listed does show some errors which can stop search engine robots and some browsers from displaying pages correctly.

Take a look at

http://www.htmlvalidator.com/

there is a trial version which can be used to check code and provide solutions

HTH everyone

It surely needs an update, I think I'll do it on Holidays...

Also my artblog

[steve.ledger]

Michael this thread is to show your website built using Xtreme4 and the new HTML export features as per Gary's OP.

I don't think your sites fit the bill yet does it?

But based on your other art work, I'd love to see what you will do when you update the site using Xtreme4

Steve, final word on my minor but annoying problem , I reset all the image links in question to 'default' setting ... seems to be OK.
