CREATING WEB SITES WITH XARA WEB DESIGNER 7 LYNN BRADSHAW WHY XARA? • Xara is a consumer friendly web site design and development program which does not require any knowledge of html, php and Java Script. • What you see is what you get. • You can use a combination of bundled templates together with elements created in other programs such as Photoshop to create individualised content. • Websites can be uploaded to the web easily and quickly. INSTALLING XARA • Install the program either from the Internet or from the disk. • Ensure that you have clicked on the templates running down the right hand side to see what downloadable content is available. • Download all the files and templates from the website. • Reboot the computer to ensure all templates are installed. THE START UP WINDOW • When you start up Xara it shows hints and tips. • The default is always the instruction manual. It is useful to read this as it gives an overview of how to use the software. CREATING A WEB PAGE FROM A TEMPLATE • Xara comes with lots of templates which can be adapted. • You can find the templates on the right hand side of the screen, in the tab named “Designs Gallery”. • If you have the full version and have downloaded all the templates from the internet then you will have plenty of choice. • To work on a template, double click on it to move it to the work space. • You can now add and remove elements from the web page.
