Web design capabilities of "Web Designer 7 Premium" vs "Designer Pro 7"

**HarpGuy** · 01 October 2011, 07:54 AM

It's said in reviews and other articles that I've read that everything which "Web Designer 7" can do, "Designer Pro 7" can also do; that "Designer Pro 7" is basically "Web Designer 7," but with the absolutely full suite of graphics features and capabilities which "Web Designer 7" lacks.

So, is that true? I mean, I already know how "Designer Pro 7's" graphics capabilities are superior to "Web Designer 7." I'm not asking about that. Rather, I'm asking how just the web design (and/or web site management) capabilities of the two products differ... if at all.

And I'm not seeking a "close is good enough" sort of answer, here. I'm really wanting to pick-nits and split hairs with this one. I'm asking if absolutely every web design feature and capability that's in "Web Designer 7" is also in "Designer Pro 7." Every last one.

For my purposes, here, even the smallest, most seemingly-insignificant feature/capability matters. Because "Web Designer 7" is a specialist web design tool; and because "Designer Pro 7" is primarily a graphics tool which, ohbytheway, can also do web sites, is there anything -- even one single little thing -- which "Web Designer 7" can do that "Designer Pro 7" cannot do. And, if so, then what are they?

And, as the headline of this post suggests, I'm interested in the same sort of comparison -- in fact, I'm almost more interested in the web design capability differences, if any -- between "Designer Pro 7" and "Web Designer 7 Premium." That, actually, is my primary concern; but I also want to know about the web design capability differences, if any, between "Designer Pro 7" and "Web Designer 7," hence the reason I began asking about that first. But I definitely want to know about both.

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Designer Pro 7 has everything - all the other programs are sub-sets

I do not use Web Designer Premium 7 but no doubt someone will confirm that it has all the web design features...

Others? Anyone?

Is "Web Designer 7 Premium" a sub-set of "Designer Pro 7"? Is whatever's in "Web Designer 7" simply the exact same as what's in the web design part of "Designer Pro 7"? If I purchase "Designer Pro 7," will I be assured of getting every single feature of "Web Designer 7 Premium"?
