Both start off with an uncluttered template which you build on until you’ve created the site to your own needs. Web Designer comes in a Basic and a Premium version. MAGIX has really paid attention to the extras in the website creation process – features for graphics, photos, images and animation are all top-class, particularly in the Web Design Premium version of the software. Xara Web Designer is not as simple to use as other programs so is perhaps best suited to intermediate or advanced website creators. With a powerful photo editing tool and customizable graphics, you’ve got the opportunity to be really creative. If you want more choice in web design but don’t want to deal with HTML code, Xara Web Designer gives you freedom to place text and graphics wherever you want them by dragging the elements around the page.
