Are you aware of the Community Plus forums for those Serif products which are now Legacy? If not, I would suggest you register at and repost there; there are a number of experienced WebPlus users there who would be happy to help you with specific problems.

It’s all right if you don’t mind having static pages (preferably separate sets for desktop and mobile use, and therefore more tedious to build and maintain) rather than having responsive or adaptive pages which display well on any device. maxine45 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Oehlschlager Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 If you're on a Mac, don't want to pay subscription prices, and desire a visual design tool that does not require knowledge of HTML, CSS or Javascript, I would recommend that you take a look at Sparkle. https://sparkleapp.com Otherwise, if you don't mind paying subscription prices, I've heard great things about Webflow. https://webflow.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 RapidWeaver is another good web design app for the Mac, but you'll need some of the available plugins for it to really make it worthwhile for a designer: https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/ Without those plugins (Stacks, and Foundation in particular) it is a bit more limited to working within the context of pre-designed templates, which is fine for some users but rather limiting for the rest of us.

I had thought of pointing out the same in my earlier reply but for some reason appear to have left it out. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Never ever used Serif WebPlus or Xara web designer, instead all I just need therefor is some good coding editor or IDE also suitable for frontend & web development tasks (WebStorm, PhpStorm, Sublime Text, Emacs, Neovim ...). - However, if something clicky mickey WYSIWYG based is primarly needed, then I would probably look after some platform independent tool, which offers sort of an all-in-one support for HTML 5, JS, CSS, Bootstrap ... etc. So probably more tools like ... Pinegrow visual web editor Bootstrap Studio Blue Griffon ... etc. ... ... since I don't like overall net dependent just online usable tools.
