Who Owns Xara Company and Desktop Products?

[Acorn]

Kevin, Xara is a separate UK company - Xara Group Limited. Xara appears to have no UK Directors.
If however, you follow all About Xara links, you find you are in Xara GmbH territory. Xara GmbH is a VC-funded startup that is building a SaaS platform for businesses to create, collaborate and control their content. See http://www.xara.com/xara-cloud-press/press-release/, a €3M gamble.

Xara develops the Desktop applications and Magix market, handles the help desk and all sales.

October 2017: We are pleased to announce that our distribution partners MAGIX Software will now handle all English language sales & support for our award winning desktop titles, so clicking on the Buy links below will take you to the MAGIX shop. Here at Xara we will focus on Xara Cloud, our collaborative content creation platform.

I wouldn't touch ASEOPS SEO as I believe it is not able to alter the Xara web page content; all you will get is frustrated over the snake oil proclamations SEO offers. Just deliver meaningful content with H1 headings and gain lots of back-links.

Companies have to evolve and products come and go so don't get too hung up on it.

I agree to that.

But .... I am Dutch, started to buy in England the products of Xara.
Product : from Xara 5 until .... was fun , paying by Paypal, was fun, support was fun.

Then the introduction of Magix from Germany. Xara becomes Photo and Graphic Designer 365 - 12 , Webdesigner xx , Page Layout etc. » paying no problem.
BUT ... asking support in Germany , asking how the offered webhosting should work , asking what ???? Mister ... you don't have this, you don't have that,
asking where time is no cost, terrible worthless answers.

Have also Magix Video, Photostory, Photo Manager, Musicmaker .... I keep the Photo Designer only, because there is no better and I won't work by cloud.
But every product with the name of Magix, will not be renewed.

Yes, I'm frustrated.

Hi dutchie,

If you have any questions on the web hosting or any other aspects of the Xara program, I'd be happy to help :)

Kind Regards
