Xara Web Designer 11 released

Xara has updated its Web Designer Premium, which aims to be an easy-to-use program for creating web pages. Version 11 gains a number of new features, including sticky navigation, whereby Navigation bars, social media links, text panel or images can be stuck in position on the browser so they remain visible on screen as the page scrolls under.

Backgrounds can now be stretched so that they cover the browser window without an obvious page boundary. It also supports HTML5 animations. The program also syncs files via Dropbox and Google Drive so that edits can be automatically updated on multiple computers.

It also comes with the beta version of cloud.xara which allows users to edit and update the content of a Xara website using a web browser. For commercial designers, cloud.xara gives controlled editing rights to their clients, allowing them to edit text and replace images and update their website.

Xara Web Designer 11 Premium includes Task Pilot ‘M’ hosting, free for one year (worth $1.99 a month). This includes 2GBytes of free web hosting space, one free domain name and Task Pilot Organizer (including cloud based calendar and contacts).

The premium edition costs £69.99 but there’s an entry level edition for £34.99. It runs on Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 and requires a minimum 500MB of RAM and a minimum of 300MB hard-disk space.

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.

Support this site

If you find the stories here useful then please consider making a donation to help fund Printing and Manufacturing Journal, either as a one-off or a repeat payment. Journalism is only really useful if it’s truly independent and this is the only such news source serving the print/ manufacturing sectors.

However, there are costs involved in travelling to cover events, as well as maintaining this site, not to mention the time that it takes to carry out research, check facts and interview people. So if you value this work, then please help to maintain it and keep it free to read.
