Not interested in a complex product with big learning curve. I use Xara primarly because it is easy to use and fast. Affordable, as it is another license/subscription out of my pocket in addition to Xara, JotForms, Storyblocks, etc. Will publish to our own servers so don't want a "total solution" that is a web builder and hosting platform all together.

Must allow me to insert a snipet of HTML code on a page for the ecwid store.
#COFFEECUP SITE DESIGNER V3 WINDOWS#
General Criteria: Desktop-based preferred, primarly Windows but cross-platform would be a mild plus, as one of our designers prefers Mac. Not really looking to replace Xara, rather another tool in the box. The typical eCommerce site will only be a few pages (maybe 3-5) with one of those pages as the "container" for the ecwid store. I need to find an alternative web development tool to use when Xara and a third party don't play well together. ecwid is fully responsive, it does not play nice with Xara variants. PROBLEM: I also am a partner with ecwid for eCommerce. It provides fast development and nice looking results.

One of the companies I contract with has 4 other designers using Designer Pro or Xara Web Designer Pro (based on my suggestion as an alternative to Weebly). Just thought to give you all the heads up when you notice a RFF, or RBB icon or reference - the instructions will apply to Site Designer in the same (or in similar) way.I build simple small business websites using Xara (Designer Pro). Sometimes we will link to more in-depth articles, tutorial videos or helpful tips originally created for these apps. If you are using a previous build, please jump to the lower chapters. This document is currently evolving as we adjust for the latest V3 with Grid Controls. Spending a couple of minutes watching these short videos in which a fully responsive design is created using Site Designer V3 will be a good start. Just remember, with the will to learn and the undo system as a backup, it’s just a matter of time. However, it will probably take up a bit more time to get up and running with this app compared to somebody with CSS experience. The visual design controls in combination with the real-time preview provide an excellent feedback mechanism that helps to understand the effects of adding or changing CSS code. Site Designer is a great tool for learning CSS and to design with Foundation, Bootstrap, and Materialize. No more laborious static prototyping for various screen sizes, just one design that can be viewed and adjusted for any device width. And the results are super spectacular too!ĭon’t know any CSS? This app will help you learn by doing. The graphics programs are now used as they should, for creating supporting materials such as icons, backgrounds and for image effects *. They are now designing in one of our responsive apps, directly for the web. We have heard from a great many Photoshop and Illustrator specialists with limited CSS experience how spectacularly their workflow has improved. Using visual CSS controls the focus is on the content and experience design, not on hunting and tweaking code snippets. Less (or none) code savvy designers will not be bogged down by coding details. This results in shorter turnaround times and/or more authentic, unique, site designs. For the code savvy…and not so code savvy alike!Ĭode-savvy designers and front end developers will benefit from an intuitive and faster workflow that allows for more experimenting and design iterations.


Together with further augmenting functions such as the width slider, custom breakpoints, global content updates, customizable prebuilt components and more, this leads to a greatly improved design workflow where creativity thrives. Site Designer provides a real-time visual design environment for the powerful Foundation 6, Bootstrap 4, and Materialize frontend frameworks.
