I think this is good to start and good for small sites.įor a true bare bones beginner, try Kompozer or other older free product to learn. Being able to export to other editors in the future is a key issue here, and with other programs too. It seems many web page creation programs are like that, so take care with them all. I'm having problems exporting this to any other program, thus my main gripe now is that once you use it, you are welded and stuck with it. I had to do some tweaks, and a few tables and such would not import, but over ok there. I've had good luck with copy and paste of 'very standard HTML' from my old sites into Xara program. I'm not doing anything complex and only use a fraction of Xara's features, yet, I am looking for something else. This isn't bad, but it gets clumsy as the site grows, and as an occasional user, it can be awkward. I've used a number of Xara products in their web site creation products. Xara Web Designer sites are W3C compliant, cross browser compatible and XHTML, CSS standards based.

Other features include a tool to create Flash animations, text effects, dynamic layout adjustments, document import and more. The finished site can be saved, exported to HTML or image formats and uploaded to your FTP server with the integrated upload tool.

You can use intuitive tools to apply drop shadow and transparency effects, insert shapes, photos, graphics, color fills, flash animations and more. The program offers a variety of templates that can be used as inspiration for your custom design and are easily customized. It offers a WYSIWYG interface that allows you to drag and drop elements into position and type your text directly into the page. Xara Web Designer 365 is an easy to use, template based web page creation tool that enables you to create professional looking websites without the need for any HTML or Javascript skills.
