    Default Designer X. Very impressed

    I've been using Designer for a few websites recently and yesterday I decided to redo one of my own projects with it.

    I have to say the newest release was great to work with. I was particularly impressed by the snapping facility, which saved me absolutely ages lining stuff up. I managed to do in one day what would have taken me several writing the HTML myself. And quite frankly I managed to pull off some tricks that I probably wouldn't have been able to do the old way.

    The whole page (apart from the header) was created from scratch using Designer Pro X and the integrated web designer. Even managed to use a font of my choosing too. Works on all browsers. Very happy.

    Looks great. And the line up of performers looks great too.

    Well you'd know all about smooth jazz in your part of the world Gary.

    That's a font called Aller BTW, which I found thanks to your link to Font Squirrel in the write up you did on the new features.

    Very nice. FYI, for some reason it doesn't scroll vertically in Safari on my iPad 3. It truncates at the screen boundary and since there is no scrolling, you cannot see the whole page.

    Yes I think it's because it's in an iframe. I'm just about to email the developers at Sky to see if they can do anything about that.
