Looking at moving to Xara Web Design Premium
Hi,
I just wanted to know if there was anyone here that moved over from Webplus?
I've been using that for years, even after it became legacy but I am now looking for a new tool that is just as easy.
If there is anyone that made the transition, how did you find Xara in comparison?
Does Xara have the same features and functions?
Are there any things that you found missing that you would have liked or were there any features that you thought were really worth the move across?
Problem I have is that I am too far in my comfort zone with my old software and I have to force the change.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Welcome to TalkGraphics. I've been using Xara products since 1996 so I am not going to be any help for comparisons.
Depending on how much web design work and other graphics you do, I would also consider Designer Pro+. It has all the web design features plus all the graphics, drawing, photo editing tools as well. The cloud based version can also be used with clients and associates to share files and collaborate.

The cost of the cloud version is a bit high. If I get the standalone desktop version of the web, I pay for it once and that's it.

The best suggestion I can offer is take the free 30 trial and see if you think this will be all you need.
Yes, once you purchase the product it is yours for life. But you need to maintain the update service to get updates, bug fixes, and access to the Online Content Catalog.

Can you download content from the online content catalogue and store what you use locally?

Yes, once you've purchased the software you can download the CC to your local computer provided your registration is in date. If it expires provided you downloaded it whilst valid it's always available on your local PC
