Xara, a leader in affordable graphic design software, recently introduced the sixth iteration of their Web Designer package.
The first thing that I noticed when booting up is its new redesigned interface with new fly-out tools and a dark gray theme that seems to be popular these days. Even with its new look, veteran users will have no problem finding their way around.
New features include improved Navbar and DHTML support, a new selection of templates including complete web site designs, automatic photo optimization, the ability to publish only changed files, drag and drop color schemes and widgets and improved text handling.
As always, the program is intuitive, well laid out and easy to use. And at only $49, it costs only a fraction of of the purchase price of other programs in its class. If you are a web designer (novice or professional), this is a must have package!
