Xara Web Designer for responsive web design

With the surge in popularity of browsing on mobiles and tablets it has become essential to create sites that are tailored to the needs of these visitors. Web Designer offers a responsive web design solution that allows you to create a single file containing variants of your site at different widths, so that you website responds dynamically to the screen size of the viewer, presenting the design most appropriate to their device. And as you’d expect from Web Designer you won’t need to do any coding whatsoever!

Other key advantages of Web Designer:

• No HTML or JavaScript skills required.

• One software package to create and publish your site. Web Designer offers all the tools you’ll ever need for page layout, graphics, text, photos and animation, from concept to completion.

• Complete design freedom; you can literally place anything anywhere on the page. Effects that are traditionally difficult to achieve in HTML editors - such as text with curved edges or at an angle - are a snap in Web Designer.

• It’s genuinely WYSIWYG, what you see in Web Designer is exactly what you get on your web page.
• Includes Xara Online Designer (beta) so you can edit the text and graphics of your site in the web browser from anywhere using any device. A unique online+offline solution.

• A choice of professionally designed templates in the Online Content Catalog, for quick, great looking results. Customize as much as you need or create pages from scratch.

• Loads of clever, time and effort saving tricks such as text flow around objects, buttons and text panels that automatically expand as you enter text, easy mouseover, menu and pop-up effects, and one click changing of site wide theme colors.

• Works with industry standards - W3C compliant and cross browser compatible.

• Outstanding value for money.
