    Smile Just Launched - Xara Web Designer 11

    Web Designer 11 has landed!

    You can find an overview on our website @ http://www.xara.com/web-designer/whats-new/ and detailed info in the release notes @ http://www.xara.com/webdesigner/notes but the highlights are:

    • Stickies – objects that stick in place as the page scrolls
    • Stretchy background images that fill the browser width
    • New animation effects available on mouseover, on click or on reveal
    • Text enhancements including auto-correction (abbreviation expansion)
    • This bullet point has BETA warnings all over it, but we think you’ll want to try it! cloud.xara introduces collaborative editing from anywhere on any device (yes, even MACs)
    • Share & Sync your files via Dropbox or Google Drive

    Gary Priester has had huge fun trying out the new animation effects and sticky objects in his First Look on the Xara Xone @ http://xaraxone.magix.net/WD11/. Plus we have a couple of demo sites @ http://www.xara.com/web-designer-examples/site1/ and http://www.xara.com/web-designer-examples/site2/ and for that matter the cloud.xara intro notes @ http://content.ixara.com/intro are a good demo of Stickies. Enjoy!

    Kate, it looks fantastic. I'd say it was a no-brainer upgrade for anyone who owns an existing version of Web Designer (unless they want to wait for the full-blown Designer Pro). It's a great price point for the newcomer to Xara that want a great web design program.

    Congratulations to the Team.

    A special mention for Gary and his example sites and the first look. Great job Gary. At last a very modern-looking website example with a really nice mobile adaptation.

    Good job guys.

    I had a ton of fun putting the First Look together and I think I just scratched the surface of what you can do with the new features. I look forward to seeing how others use the new features.

    In Xara Designer Pro X 10 if I alter the colour, size, or font of say some Normal Text style then go to the dropdown menu (which shows a + sign after the style name to indicate a change of style) and click Update Style, all text takes the new attribute and the + sign disappears.

    In Web Designer 11 Premium (trial Version) clicking Update Normal text to Match changes the text to the new attribute but the + sign remains against the style name. Is this the correct behaviour?

    Really liking the new Web Animation feature added... But why does it use a square box as trigger point and not the actual shape of the selected item?

    This seems to limit the functionality of this cool feature when used on irregular and/or overlapping shapes.


    Hope I wasn't too quick with complaining?! I'm just thrilled Xara came out with a new product

    @dutchim - I used a rectangle for my triggers but it can be anything, or nothing. Or an object that is the same color as your background so it is invisible.

    Triggers are not necessary. Objects that use Web Animation > Reveal are activated as the area they are in appears in the browser. But a trigger object can give you more control over when the particular reveal action takes place.

    If I create a new animation in WD11P and create a circle and Ctrl+Shift+S to open the link properties and click on the Help button no help file is opened?

    Good catch - the Help button does nothing.

    The help file for Advanced Flash Commands still indicates that Ctrl+Shift+S opens an image of the Web Properties dialogue window where you can select the Mouse Over tab. This hasn't been the case for at least 3 versions, Ctrl+Shift+S only open a Web Link window in WD11P Animation (and XDProX10 for that matter) and only opens the Web Properties window without a Mouse Over in a WD11P in a web page. This section of the help file is totaly confused
