Xara Web Designer MX Premium 8 is a
template-based design tool which makes it quick and easy to create quality
websites.
The
"Premium" version of the program, includes plenty of extra features
that you won't get in the standard editions. There are tools to create
presentations, animations (Flash and GIF) and sitemaps, for instance. You get
many more photo options, including the ability to manipulate your photos with
Photoshop plugins (there are 40 to get you started). Text styles make it far
easier to adjust the appearance of text across your site, in just a click or
two. And there's a screen capture tool, HTML 5 video support, more import and
export options, more themes and content in general, and even your choice of top
level domain name, free for a year, which you can use with the program's free
hosting to get your site online.
