Xara Web Designer Full Windows Download

Xara Web Designer is unlike any web editor you will have seen before; an easy template based solution that gives you total page design freedom, no HTML skills required.

Find out why we think Web Designer is your best choice for creating websites and web graphics, including Flash animations.

Web Designer is unlike any website creation tool you've seen before - here's some of the reasons why:

Seeing is believing
Simply watch our movie and you'll find out how to create a great looking website in minutes, no HTML skill required!

Traditional web authoring tools are really just HTML editors, they are designed to create text layout, providing few, if any, graphical capabilities.  And yet it's evident that the vast majority of modern websites are of a graphical nature.  We believe you should have complete freedom to include anything - text, graphics, photos - anywhere on the page, using just one tool. And you shouldn't need to know, or even see, the HTML that goes into creating your site, any more than a car driver needs to know how an engine works.

There's no easier solution
The Web Designer approach is simple: Pick your design from the templates; customize it with complete freedom; publish. Absolutely no HTML or Javascript skills are required!

A one tool solution
You only need one program for creating graphical websites - from design to publishing - and that's Web Designer.

Web Designer includes customizable template designs plus tools for creating your own vector graphics and animations, for photo editing (an integrated ultra-fast,  non-destructive photo tool), and for advanced text layout. Site upload is covered too!

Total design freedom
Web Designer gives you total design freedom - using drag and drop you can literally place anything, anywhere on the page. And things which are normally difficult to achieve in HTML are a snap in Web Designer - for example text with curved edges, text or graphics at an angle, text flowing around objects - no problem!

WYSIWYG
Whether you customize one of the bundled templates or create your own graphics or animations, it's genuinely WYSIWYG - what you see in Web Designer is exactly what you get on your website.

Quality results guaranteed
Web Designer's templates are created by top professional designers, so the quality is guaranteed. But of course you can customize the color, text, images, size etc to create your own personal look without any loss of quality. It's the best of both worlds!

Clever stuff
But we have some clever tricks too, to make things easier for you - here's just a few of the things that will save you time and trouble:

Liquid text flow around objects; easy mouseover, thumbnail and pop-up creation; automatic adjustment of photos to the correct web resolution; one-click change of site wide theme colors and shades; automatic color matching of imported objects such as buttons; and buttons and text panels that automatically stretch as you change the text.

Compatibility
Working with industry standards is vital, so Web Designer sites are W3C compliant, cross browser compatible (IE 5.5, Firefox, Safari, Chrome) and XHTML, CSS standards based.

It can also import a huge range of files types for vector graphics, image and text including PDF, RTF, RAW, PSD, TIFF and of course JPEG, PNG, GIF.

There is simply no easier, quicker way to create a website. Full stop. Here's how:

Choose a design
Pick your page design from the bundled templates, all created by professional designers so that quality is guaranteed.  There are multiple page layouts in co-ordinated theme sets, so your site looks consistent. Add additional pages by simply duplicating the current one or dropping another layout from the Designs Gallery - made even easier by an auto color-matching feature and a Replicate command for button bars that allows you to match newly added pages to existing ones.

Then you can customize the pages with complete freedom and absolutely zero loss of quality.

Customize as required
Use simple drag and drop to position things on the page as you wish; enter your text (spell checker included); drag and drop any new items such as text panels, headings or extra buttons from the templates in the Designs Gallery or import your own or create new images with the drawing tools; drag and drop your own photos (photo editor included if you need to crop or adjust brightness, contrast etc); customize colors with the simple one-click theme color editing.

For extra impact, adding mouseover effects, thumbnails and pop-ups is simple.

Add widgets to your site
And it's a snap to add widgets to your site, such as Google Maps, Picasa photo albums and slideshows, YouTube movies, news feeds and many, many more..

Publish
Check your design in the browser preview and then simply enter your FTP details and click Publish.

We told you it was easy!

If you need individual graphics for your existing page, Web Designer is the tool for you

Use professional templates
Web Designer also includes template designs for individual graphics, from headings and buttons to text boxes and speech bubbles! Again they are all created by professional designers and can be customized to fit your site in seconds.

These individual graphics can be exported in the standard web formats such as GIF, JPEG, PNG for use on existing websites, or they can be added to any page being created in Web Designer.

Or create custom graphics
If you don't find a template to fit the bill, no problem, Web Designer includes comprehensive, intuitive and powerful drawing tools from our award winning illustration software Xara Xtreme.

So you can create your own graphics from scratch and either add them to the page being created in Web Designer or export them as JPEG, PNGs or GIFs.

Need Flash animations?  No problem

Quick as a Flash
Web Designer is one of the easiest tools for creating truly efficient Flash animations, which you can export as .swf or add to any page being created in Web Designer.

Design website prototypes with unrivalled freedom, no HTML skills required.

Fast prototypes for designers
For designers, Web Designer offers unparalleled design freedom. It's perhaps the fastest website prototyping tool around, even for websites created from scratch. As a designer you don't need to know anything about HTML, but you'll have complete freedom to design websites as simple or as complex as you need, with an actual working HTML result, rather than just a 'fake' static mock-up."

Design without compromise
You don't need to compromise your design just because this is a webpage.

Web Designer supports transparency, even grad transparency (for graphics, photos and text); it has full, automatic alpha channel support for things like soft shadows, anti-aliasing and semi-transparent objects;  and if you include things not supported by HTML (let's say rotated text) it automatically converts them to optimized web graphics.
