| Xara Web Designer 9 Premium - the Jargon-Free Way to Create a Website | ||||||
The usual limitations of HTML web authoring simply do not exist in Xara Web Designer. Users have the freedom to use any font, to place anything anywhere on the page with pixel precision, the freedom to automatically repel text around irregular shapes or alpha-channel images, the freedom to draw vector graphics on the page, with transparency, and for all of this to just work. Xara Web Designer 9 Premium comes many innovative new features: • HiDPi or Retina compatible websites - automatically • Direct integration of 620+ Google Web Fonts • HTML 5 and CSS3 support ( websites are automatically backwards compatible with older browsers) • Improved Google Analytics integration • A 32bit and a 64-bit version for 64-bit Windows. No more memory limits. • Bundled web hosting, with simple no-FTP-jargon publishing. • A Free top level domain for one year. (e.g. a .com, .co.uk or .de, etc) • 100+ new business-specific website templates available The world is rapidly moving to HiDPI or Retina screens. Creating hi-resolution compatible websites the traditional way can be technically complicated and time consuming. With Xara Web Designer it's as simple as a single check-box. It automatically creates two versions of all graphics and photos, and corresponding script code so that the right image resolution is shown on each device. Charles Moir, founder and Managing Director of Xara said, "The dual nature of Xara Web Designer separates it from the myriad of simple website creators. We have professional website and graphic designers who use it as the fastest way to create custom designs. It's the perfect rapid prototyping tool, but unlike Photoshop, you get a real working website, not just a mock-up. For everyone else, the template approach means you can take one of the hundreds of website templates and customize the content, fonts and colours to create a unique final design.” Web Designer is Xara's most popular product and this version 9 is a big step forward. With automatic Retina compatibility, support for leading edge features such as Google fonts, HTML5 and CSS3, super-smooth hardware accelerated transition effects such as pop-ups, and all websites being compatible with mobile and desktop browsers makes Xara Web Designer an ideal choice for novices as well as professional designers. Xara Web Designer Premium 9 retails for $99.99. An entry level (reduced feature) version, called simply Web Designer 9, is available for $49.99, ideal for customers who are completely new to web design. Existing Xara Web Designer users can upgrade for as little as $29.99. Xara Web Designer 9 operates on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 and requires a minimum 500MB of RAM and a minimum of 300MB hard-disk space. For more information, visit xara.com. |
