REVIEW
The Xara Web Designer 6 allows you to create professional and unique websites. I find it fun and easy to use. The variety of different templates that the program offers are quite nice. I spent some time experimenting and playing around with the designs that I like and I can easily create a personal site or a site for a small business. It has an easy to use template based Web page creation tool that gives you total page design freedom with no HTML or Javascript skills required. If you are experienced with HTML and coding and want to some major editing of your own, you’ll find that there are limitations.
I use different Web Design programs for different needs. But as a busy designer (and a busy mom) like me, I like Xara Web Designer for the “quick-create” and the drag and drop features to save me time. Basically, the program is a WYSIWYG web designer for designers who want to create a professionally website quickly.
WHAT I LIKE (PROS):
- ability to create flash animations without using a separate flash program
- ability to create a quick and professional-looking website
- easy to navigate menus and tools
- drag and drop features
- I like the built in photo slide-show tool
- a variety of great template designs included
- HTML experience not necessary
WHAT I DON’T LIKE (CONS):
- does not support CSS (cascading style sheets)
- no HTML tag editing
- the navigation of the menu was little bit confusing at first
- only allows previewing with the internal browser (IE) instead of letting you choose
Price: You can try it for Free (30-day trial) to see if Xara Web Designer 6 is right for you, or you can buy the fully functional version for $49US.
