Does Xara Web Designer have a 'site view/manager'?

[Acorn]

Mmm, Thanks for thinking up a workaround, but it feels too much like an ugly hack, rather than a practical solution, to me.
It looks like I'll have to give Xara a miss for a while until it has proper site management facilities.

Definitely an ugly hack. By throwing it out there, Xara might slap-head itself for overlooking what real users need.

Xara might slap-head itself ... Acorn

. Just an aside - my wife watches the American house renovation programs where they say "Back-splash" where we Aussies say "Splash-back". We also say "Head-slap"

In my neck of the woods, a 'Slap Head' is a slang word for a totally bald man.

If I might step in here. I have used Xara since 1996. And I have been a moderator for TG since Xara took over the forum from i/us many years ago. And during this time, I have heard over and over again, complaints because Xara does not work the same as X program. That it would be swell if Xara had a such and such feature.

Every software program has its pluses and minuses. Every single one. And every software program has its own way of doing things. My advice is always learn the program, learn how it works, how it flows, and get into the flow of the program. After a while things become more familiar and your work goes more smoothly.

My 2 cents. Unsolicited.

That's probably why Serif have not added a web design progie into their graphics suite. They used to have one years before they gave birth to Affinity, but dropped it long ago.

what you say is true Gary, but you can also look at it another way - life is short, worthwhile programs usually have learning curves, users who 'know what they are doing' will be looking for certain key [to them] features in a program before they jump in

they willl ask questions, it's what you do...
