Thanks for replying . If you ignore the lightbox thumbnails and relating pop ups on the opening page. Xara can do this from the templates better and simpler than any other product:-)

my question is that - the menu down the left and across the top (on my old website) has an onclick command from the navbar which opens a layer for each entry in the navbar (ie paving , planting or fencing) . This is so that I can cram a lot of data on the opening page . I would like the same effect . possibly using the new eyecather widgets as the content from the new web designer.
