How to make your own website using xara web designer
Well... no aerial photography involved but a few weeks ago something changed on how we create a great looking website in minutes, with no HTML skills and I AM TOTALLY IMPRESSED!
Traditional web authoring tools are just HTML editors, designed to create text layout, providing few graphical capabilities.
And yet the vast majority of modern websites are of a graphical nature, just till now there was no easy way to have complete freedom to include text, graphics, photos anywhere on the page, using just one tool.
The Xara Web Designer approach is simple: Pick the design from templates; customize it with complete freedom; publish with absolutely no HTML or Javascript skills!
Using drag & drop you can literally place anything, anywhere on the page.
Things which are normally difficult to achieve in HTML are a snap in Xara Web Designer, for example text with curved edges, text or graphics at an angle, text flowing around objects.
Whether you customize one of the bundled templates or create your own graphics or animations, the software is genuinely What You See Is What You Get.
Web Designer's templates were created by top professional designers. You can customize the color, text, images, size etc to create your own personal look with full quality.
The software also includes some clever tricks:
Liquid text flow around objects;
mouseover, thumbnail and pop-up creation;
automatic adjustment of photos to the correct resolution;
oneclick change of site theme colors & shades;
automatic color matching of imported objects;
buttons and text panels that automatically stretch as you change the text.
Working with industry standards:
Web Designer sites are W3C compliant and cross browser compatible (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome) as they are XHTML and CSS standards based.
Just check it! You can download a 30 day trial.
