This feature has it’s limits – you can only revise text and replace simple pictures. Don’t use a Mac (they say it will work) but tried it with an Android tablet and yes, you can edit content on the fly (see below) then re-publish the Web site.
With a few painless steps, it allows you to view, edit and update the content of your Xara Web site using a Web browser on any computer or tablet. The second new feature is Online Editing With cloud.xara (in beta). It’s a safe, easy and storage-saving way of maintaining multiple versions of your Web site files and especially useful if maintaining a site with one or more developers. And, as stated, Dropbox and Google Drive maintain older versions of your files, so this gives you easy viewing and reverting back to earlier file versions. As advertised, the file is updated in Web Designer on the other computers. This is especially useful if you have Xara Web Designer 11 installed on multiple computers and need to edit then save changes to all machines. You now have the ability to sync files in either cloud platform. The first is Document Sync using Dropbox or Google Drive. Two new features were impressive for this tester. Some of the clever mouseover animations includes wobbles, bounces, spins and more. Some of the many animation effects include slide ins, fades and motion on click or touch. The term “objects” includes graphics as well as text blocks and groups that combine both graphics and text. They’re cued on mouseovers or revealed when the object comes into view or is triggered. AnimationĪ new Web Animation dialog lets you animate objects in many different ways. Pages without page boundaries are a breeze as you can now use images, photos or backgrounds to fill browser windows. These are especially useful for headers, navigation and social media icons Stretchy Backgrounds This feature works like a charm, and stickies stay wherever you tell them to. These are elements that stay in view while the rest of the page scrolls under them. Xara’s WYSIWYG environment gives you complete creative control without painful WordPress CSS revisions, PHP code alterations and having to create child themes that even with extensive modification, still may not work exactly as you’d like.
The smile, however, was knowing that by using Xara Web Designer, the constraints that WordPress sites impose on designers is nonexistent. At the first look, I couldn’t help but compare the demo’s look to popular WordPress Web site development themes. The demo pages on the Xara Web site were an eye opener. One thing I always do is review what’s new and check out any demos available that illustrate upgrade features. One of my first steps is always to see how easily files from the earlier version come into the new version and, as expected, files made the transition without a bump. I was excited to test the new version of Web Designer Premium.
