    Default Need advice on old site - reworking it with Xara Web Designer

    Hi
    I`ve been using expression web for years and just started looking for new web authoring options.
    I haven't tried xara but it looks very easy to use. EW can be a pain to edit and Im not a html expert
    I`m wondering, I have a existing site that I`m happy with do you see any problems transferring
    it to Xara`s program. Here is the site link http://www.woodsolutions.com/

    Regards Barry

    Welcome to TalkGraphics

    You won't be able to transfer your current site directly because Xara is a WYSIWYG web design program. You put graphics, photos, text on the page where you want it and Xara write the page code.

    But this might be a good opportunity to start from scratch and redesign your site.

    I think you have very good content on your current site but the design looks dated.

    I would start with one of Xara's templates and then modify it as needed.

    We'll be happy to help you along the way.

    On your first page it should be Visit often not offen.

    I respectfully suggest that you have someone proof read the text as there are a number of grammar and spelling errors which need attention. When you use a customer review, it's a good idea to use a different font as the current format just blends in with the rest of the page text.

    Hi Golash, congrats on getting your GED as for correcting errors look under utilities in Xara and activate the spell checker, this way you will catch most of the spelling errors.

    Hi
    I must say I am loving Xara web designer. Its so much easier then expression web. I have a start on converting
    the site. I am not certain I`ve improved the look and feel of the site. But its a start.
    Now might be a good time for a review. Before I`m in too deep and have to make a thousand changes.
