Xara xone special edition: Xara web designer preview!!!
SPECIAL EDITION WORKBOOK
NEW XARA WEB DESIGNER PREVIEW
The new Xara Web Designer is almost here (available early next week) and trust me, you're going to love it! You can create your website in a very Xtreme like interface will all the tools you already know how to use and some new web-specific tools as well. The entire Workbook was produced in Web Designer and it was fun and surprisingly easy!
You can edit your text and SPELL CHECK IN A SELECTION OF LANGUAGES. And you can FTP your files directly to your web host right inside Web Designer. Flash movies have never been easier to embed, as well as website tracking code, and a ton of other really cool stuff.
In this special edition, I cover what's new and how it all comes together.
Check it out, and please let me know your reaction.

Re: Xara xone special edition: Xara web designer preview!!!
Great news Gary.
I'm reading page 1 and it seems the paragraph about web safe fonts ends prematurely.
Quote:
...that certain fonts may not appear on many visitors computers and may be displayed as Arial or
Times Roman instead. (You can always group this text with another object in which case
The next paragraph begins about double click on any bitmap...
Re: Xara xone special edition: Xara web designer preview!!!
Thanks for the detailed information Gary.
Looks sweet. Man, I want to buy it now, I'm about to start a new website design for a client. This will streamline the process a lot.

Re: Xara xone special edition: Xara web designer preview!!!
it seems an amazing program.
2 questions:
-I have written my own content management system for my clients to easily update their content. Can i use webdesigner?
-(regardless of the above)If i design a site for someone else, how does he/she update the content without the program?
thanks!

Re: Xara xone special edition: Xara web designer preview!!!
One more question from me Gary.
On Page 5 there is some overlapping of text and a link. Is it my browser or is it seen by everyone. See attached image.
Anyone can answer my question. Do you see that area of Page 5 of Gary's workbook as in my attached image?
Never mind....I answered my own question using different browsers and different computers. For some unknown reason one of my computers wants to place a random Amazon.com add in that space. :eek:
Re: Xara xone special edition: Xara web designer preview!!!
I hope that it is being sold stand alone, looks like it is. Nice workbook Gary.
Re: Xara xone special edition: Xara web designer preview!!!
Looks like a big improvement over the tools bundled with Xara4. I looked at your workbook Gary and checked the source files. These seem pretty clean and, I suppose, editable (although a zillion divs). Is this source code right out of the box, you didn't have to fiddle it?
I'm tempted to buy it, good price, but maybe I'll wait until some others have worked with it and commented on it here.
Re: Xara xone special edition: Xara web designer preview!!!
Bill - I am not seeing any problem with the web safe fonts text. What browser are you using?
Bruce - It will be sold as a stand alone.
Marcia - It should be available for download and sale early next week. Xara is doing some final tweaks.
Matt - The program is retailing for about $50 US. Your client will need to have a copy of Web Designer to do updates.
Re: Xara xone special edition: Xara web designer preview!!!
Just received by mail:
The program costs just $49 for US customers, £39 inc VAT in the EU. Better still if you have Xtreme 4 or Webstyle 4 you can purchase Web Designer for just $29 or £23 inc VAT (this is an introductory 2 month offer).
I'm buying it :)
