I want to purchase the program, but I have issues about its functionality. The question is that I don't see large number of forms widjets as well I can't find tutorials about how to add newsletter, simple contact or search forms to workspace as well as how to design them?
Hi
Have you looked here at all the widgets available for Web Designer.
Do note that Xara Web Designer is not an HTML editing program such as Frontpage, Dreamweaver etc. It uses an internal custom format for designing the website and only creates the HTML version on Export or Publishing.
Are you wanting to edit an existing web site?

I was about to start a new thread but I think I'll ask the question here.
John, you've already helped me get started, and I really appreciate your help. For Marco's concern, indeed XARA is an entirely different platform, and it's a refreshing difference! It acts a lot more like Publisher than Dreamweaver -- I can move and resize photos, move text around, put everything exactly where I want it as opposed to all the limitations I normally am stuck with on previous programs. As for graphics, Magix has a website that's loaded with them, and XARA will take you there for whatever you need. Not sure if this is permanent or if I have it for the "first year."
But now I'm getting to my next beginner question: I know XARA uses its own proprietary format, and I "export" the finished file into an HTML file with matching folder for the graphics, but my question is this: if I want to edit a page, do I have to go to the original file and export it again, or can I pull up the HTML file and do a quick edit? What is the better procedure here?
Hi
To maintain consistency in version management, I would use Web Designer and republish rather than edit the finished HTML.
