Would it be possible for us to have a little, very basic, design template for Blackberry which has simple graphics at the header and footer, and block text text areas?
Yes, it would be possible.
Should be very straight forward to make your own, yes?
Re: Web sites for Blackberry
Hi Shapeshifter,
This is the Dear Xara section, so it was a suggestion to Xara. I don't know anyone here apart from Gary. Are you a Xaran? It probably would concern the marketers at Xara rather than the programmers. If there were something like this, however simple, Xara would be able to advertise it. Netobjects Fusion, which is a competitor, and many of us have really loved it, has only simple mobile templates (no amazing new feature, no special programming), but that is making sales for them (I suspect people don't realise that regular Fusion web sites display excellently anyway on mobiles, up to quite large sizes!)
It was a deliberate decision at Xara not to cater for Blackberries, and I understand it, but it doesn't make you feel any better when you see your stats and the number of customers who must have been frustrated by what they saw.
Yes, I can make my own. But then again, not really. You can see my post asked whether anything else could go into special blocks of text, so that you could bold or colour different text. I am not a coder, which is why I ask. If it would be simple, perhaps Xara could stick a few Blackberry/mobile templates in the gallery, and have a whole new feature to market.

Re: Web sites for Blackberry
We do not officially support any mobile browsers so we can not include any such templates. Especially for any particular device.
Re: Web sites for Blackberry
Hello Ali,
Using most tools for web sites, the same issue is faced these days when designing for, in my case, both computer and mobile access. Perhaps a post on Xara Users would be of interest. There is more about this subject of course. And...I don't use Xara for site building but together we may be able to work out a template you can use as a basis.

Take care, Mike
Re: Web sites for Blackberry
Thanks, Mike. Am working this weekend but will have another look at it next week.
Best wishes.
