Web Designer makes it easy to add all kinds of whizz-bang-pop elements like YouTube video, PayPal options and social-networking buttons to your site. This really is a designer’s web-building tool.Īnd you’re not restricted to basic building blocks, either.
Drop in page elements from the various galleries (Web Designer is smart enough to match these to the overall design of the site - if you want it too, of course), then fine-tune them without ever having to type in any HTML or CSS code. It’s when you venture beyond the basics of taking a template and populating it with your own content that you start to appreciate just how clever Web Designer is. You can simply replace existing page elements with your own text and graphics, or start crafting pages to your own more demanding specifications. You’ll also find a new Business-specific templates section, but sadly these don’t come free, costing $15 a pop, although by upgrading to Web Designer 9 Premium you’re given a voucher that lets you download one for free.įrom here, everything is drag and drop and anyone with experience with desktop publishing packages will soon discover just how powerful and versatile the tool is. There are dozens of templates provided - over 20 have been added to version 9 - covering general, and web-presentation themes, all of which can be customized to your own tastes should - for example - you like the design, but detest the color scheme. A better option is to create a new, blank site, open the Designs Gallery, pick a template and then drag in individual pages to get started with. While it’s tempting to opt for the latter, doing so creates a set of web pages based on the different page designs available within that template - up to 15 are provided with each template. Fire up Web Designer and you’re presented with the option of creating a page from scratch or using one of the design templates.
