Re: Xara Web Designer Vs Serif Web Plus X2
In terms of graphical creativity, XWD beats Serif Webplus X2 by a distance in my opinion but then I can already use Xtreme so the learning curve was minimal.
Serif have spent a lot of time integrating components in Webplus X2 that make it very easy to add interactive elements, both their own generic ones and external scripts. Given a bit of time, I don't think that it will be very long before people find ways of extending XWD using placeholders and this will doubtless be documented on here.
The not so well know WYSISYG WebBuilder is a great little program and I would buy it in from of Serif WPX2 on those grounds, in fact, I'll still purchase the upcoming v6.
I've got Net Objects Fusion 10, don't use it and it's the worst software investment I ever made.
For me Xara Web Designer and Coffeecup could well be a match made in heaven, we'll see but the release of Xara Web Designer will have some of the established players looking over their shoulders.
