Hello all,
I have just finished and uploaded our company website. It can be seen and works mostly in Ipods and pads, and on Android tablets. I really enjoyed making it.
BUT most of our customers, and we, use Blackberries. All the text is smooshed to the left hand side of the page and the site is unviewable. I researched a bit and realised I have not picked the right program for this, have I? The Xara tech note blames it on Blackberry.....
I note that Gary's Xara-made sites also smoosh to one side, and if anyone would know how to avoid that it would be the very talented Gary But Xara's own web site doesn't do it. That also appears to be written in their own program. Anyway, it can be seen on a Blackberry. Would they be generous enough to explain how they adapted it, and whether this is reproducable by mere mortals. I tried the HTML text tweak thing but it made no difference.
If I can't find a way to adapt the DP7 site for Blackberries I will have to start again in Netobjects Fusion. Its sites don't even need the templates they provide for mobiles. Their sites are viewable in anything at sizes up to 1500px width and more. No idea why they are so adaptable. Anyway, having to redo the site for Fusion would be a big bore after all the effort put into learning Xara. We are very happy with the site, and even more happy with the program. But we can't live with our site being unviewable by our important mobile users.
Please guys. Can we think of something? What if I were to put the text into a placeholder, and treat it as code. Actually, might go experiment with that.
If you can think of anything at all, I would be very grateful to hear your ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Ali
