Re: Header and footer cut short on some Xara Designer Pro X web pages
Hi Peter, can I make several points, not as criticisms, just hopefully pointers.
1: Your header is an image. As such it can't be parsed by search engines, they can't read the text in an image, it's just pixels. So change your header to contain an image & html text. H1, H2, H3 etc which SE can read. Soft-group by all means, so moving the header moves the entire soft-group, but it still remains an image with html text above it which search engines can read it.
2: Although your header is on MouseOff layer in index.htm and set to repeating in fact it doesn't appear to repeat. If you look at "concert1_15oct" this bitmap is now on the page-background layer, as it does on most pages. I recommend keeping most page assets on the mouse-off layer.
3: You'll need to go through your site & delete all the header images off the page background layer (ie Delete from all pages) Now select the header in index.htm & repeat on all pages.
4: I further suggest you use the web properties / Page content more. Don't just give your index.htm page a filename of index, give it a meaningful Page Title and a Page Description. This helps greatly in SEO. Keywords I'm unsure of their value these days.
5: Your footers seem to have been messed up. I would recommend deleting them from all pages apart from your index page. Then, after ensuring the footer is positioned at the page bottom, and it's set as a footer, select repeat on all pages.
6: For some reason most pages on your site have Imported MouseOff & Imported MouseOver layers. I can't find any content on these layers. (Delete them, it keeps your site easier to maintain
7: Try to use Text Styles more. So much of your site uses "Normal +" or "Heading1 +" styles etc so in fact there's no real styles.
