Potential newbie!

well amazon is a market[place] - they are sometimes cheaper, sometimes more expensive than elsewhere

if you buy from somewhere other than magix/xara, make sure you know exactly what you are getting for your money and that the source is reputable

version 11 is certainly not the most recent

there are two programs: webdesigner, and webdesigner premium, you need to sure which one you want

if you do graphic design as well you may want to consider xara designer, although that is more expensive

OK, when I open the trial, I get an offer for the program of £43.99. All good. But to purchase it's asking for the "serial number". Where's that? It's not the activation, I've tried that...

Thanks

There is no immediate discount. Trial Premium. Advise if you have any forms, PHP or databases.
Don't buy cheap.

I'm not sure what you mean by "pre-formatted".

The sites take in pictures and graphics already finished to be used within the templates. All other graphics I create in PicMonkey. I do these sites as a favour mainly so they need to be low maintainance!

I think he means he uses templates.

If you mean HTML templates, you won't be able to import them to Xara software, but you can however create templates for use in Xara. The software is not a HTML editor, it is a HTML generator, taking a visual design and generating HTML from it.
