Their pages look very good, but their maths are a bit... unusual. Designer Pro is supposed to be all three apps in one interface but it costs $299 which is $19.03 MORE than the individual apps. If Designer Pro is more than the sum of it's parts they should say so to justify costing more. If not, it should cost less than the individuals IMHO.

No, it's all three app PLUS more, much more.

Well, I get about $119 more for XDP but who's counting. It all depends on what products are used for the counting. I chose WDP & P&GD.

But if you add in the lame duck P&LD, then I get about $29 less than XDP.

I really think it should be $199.

Ain't math fun?

While I really like the look of the page - are all of the features/effects achievable using Xara products?

**jaydear** · 02 April 2015, 06:08 AM

I was wondering that too. I particularly like the Disney-esque foreground/background scrolling.

Well, yes many are achievable if you are skilled enough and know what you are doing with placeholders and code snippets.
But if you are asking if all the affects used on xara.com are INCLUDED with Xara Web Designer or Designer Pro, then as Mike says - No.
Xara.com is not built with Xara Web Designer.

Me too. Thanks for the heads-up.

I pity the newcomer to Xara though. If you pick any category you are presented with a load of products, all supposedly able to tackle your job, all with almost the same name. It really highlights the mess that Xara and Magix's product names and types is.

Really confusing.

Great job on the website, shame about the product names and choices.
