(More customer reviews)Xara/Magix software is a well kept secret in designer circles - competing against the vast Adobe juggernaut at a fraction of the price.
The software focuses on the generation of static web pages/sites by the use of a WYSIWYG design interface allowing the user to concentrate on design, without the need to know very much (nothing really) about HTML.
The software is far easier to use than HTML-based editors and when the design is complete, the software generates the html for the web pages/site and can transfer the whole site to your web host.
The software currently includes a free hosting offer from Magix.
Primarily designed for the consumer/small business market, many professional designers that use far more expensive software also use Xara software for rapid prototyping and/or small web projects, so it has a wide appeal.
The software generates HTML rather than edits it, so it's not the software of choice for a HTML coder (there is limited scope for editing the generated HTML or controlling appearance with CSS), but even for HTML coders, it is one of the fastest prototyping/mockup tools around and better still you can post those prototypes directly to the web.
This edition of the software is designed to be a low cost entry-level solution to those who don't wish to purchase the "bigger brother" to this software - Xara Photo and Graphic Designer 6 which has more design capabilities and is also highly recommended.
The manufacturer has an extensive website to demonstrate the capabilities of the software and a vibrant user community at talkgraphics.com.
The software is a bargain and almost a well-kept secret.
