Why can I not just export the code of one page to my hardrive? Why does it have to do all pages?
Xara is this hard to do? Why you do not include this?

P.S. Xara Answer: https://help.xara.com/article/12-can...an-entire-page.
The website is all linked, many pages, I have to upload it to the server but I cant wait for hours for the site to output evertime I make a small change to a page.
Yes my computer is slow but still it is the idea and how they programmed xara. I know you guys are amazing and always find ways to do things, but this can not be an excuse for Xara to not implement our ideas?
Gary, it is not as easy as you say. Each page is a different length and has links to other pages. I would have to manually change the length of each page if I want it to match the original site. Also eventually I have to upload it via ftp to the main site, this is not a great solution.
behzad, you asked the wrong question then changed the gameplan. I have previously advised why such an approach is nigh impossible.Quote:

The thrust of these approaches is not to create images, link to those you need only, avoid HiSlide, Shadows and Xara Widgets and NavBars.
- Create lines, circles and ellipses from rounded corner & skewed rectangles. All produce HTML without external calls.
- Use Linear Fills only.
- Use CSS for animations where possible.
- Reference out to images and SVGs.
- Always name images.
- Never group text.
- Use text over illustrations.
- Compartmentalise through chuncking code, assets, context, ...
All the above creates a HTML-rich payload that does not need much in the way of updating.
It is a hard discipline to follow but you can then call yourself a designer.

Thanks Acorn. I still call myself a designer and the problem is that of Xara the tool not the designer. As usual I appreciate your input.
