The Bottom Line
-
Xara Webstyle is a convenient program if you
need some easily constructed Web page objects,
such as buttons, headings, borders, and navigation
bars. It is limited by the use of proprietary
format, which cannot import standard JPEG or
GIF files for modification. Within its limitations,
Webstyle is excellent for use when a quick web
design and /or web prototyping is required.

Quick and Easy Web Graphics Components
Xara Webstyle 3 has been improved by giving the user additional and improved Web page objects. In addition to version 2’s objects, which included buttons, headings, borders, and navigation bars, Webstyle 3 also has the new capability of creating cascading DHTML menus in the NavBars and importing photos into the web page. Xara supplies a modest photo editing capability, but it also adds the ability to automatically adjust and create expanding thumbnails. It does produce all the necessary JavaScript automatically. Version 3 includes more "themed" sets of matching graphics for those who need an all inclusive "look" to their web page. The viewlet tutorial has been expanded and improved providing instruction with some of the more advanced areas. However, Webstyle 3 still uses proprietary software for its templates, thus precluding the use of any original designs that are accessible in any standard format. |
