Point made Paul, but when I said "client" perhaps I should have said "The guy I car share with wife's new business venture" for which I didn't charge for.
In fact I have never charged for doing sites.
I'm a hobbist who enjoys using Xara products and doing sites for friends.
The point I was trying to make was, that all the links I've seen on the sites "made with Xara Web Designer" get hi-jacked to the Xara site, which is why I've not put a link on any of the sites I've done.

Well, there's two choices - go to the Xara site in a new window, or the same window, I'm not sure what else I'd expect of a link.

Hello everyone

Heres a link to my site. Using Xara for the first time, and producing only my second ever web site, I achieved this. www.harlequinphotographic.com. There are still a few issues (like I still can't get a contact page to work - even using coffeecup (derrr!!!), but I will get it sorted. Plus there is some text and pics to be added, otherwise, I'm happy with the way it looks for now. If you're in the UK (and especially near Leicester) tell your friends, you never know I may be able to do something for 'em - I'm trying to get this business of the ground and could use all the help I can get! Hope you like the site. Thanks for looking.

Chris.

and I did everything in cPanel.
All is well once again.

In case anyone is interested in additional info on redirecting...
I wasn't able to redirect pages with "spaces" or "&" symbols in the same manner as other pages.

Long story short... here is a link on how to use "301 redirect for file names with spaces"

Hope this helps someone.

.. it's definitely missing some 3D text and a rotating logo to complete the OTTness..

**trukkerz** · 13 May 2009, 03:15 PM

Here's my site, http://www.newgenbees.co.uk which I remade and doubled in size.

The software's brilliant and easy to use and allows me to use a lot more photos.
