Publoo Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hello, Affinity team! We already have Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, You work on Affinity Publisher. Are You planning to create an Affinity Webplus instead of a Serif Webplus? Regards Michael Bobarev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was one of the reasons, given that it could never be made fully responsive, why development of WebPlus has stopped!

Bri-Toon Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I forget what the exact wording was, but I remember a staff member saying something like if there were to be an Affinity web app, it would have to have a different approach because of how simpler website creation has gotten over the years. I don't know what Affinity's take would be if they were to create one, but perhaps they could use similar tool as the ones in Blocs. I haven't used it for myself, but the promotion video sucked me in. Just a mention. https://blocsapp.com Uncle Mez 1 Quote The website is still a work in progress.

That can be tricky. The newer web builders are usually already formatted for desktops, mobile devices, and iPads to keep the designer from changing the look for each device. But I'm sure it can be frustrating to use in areas. 6 hours ago, firstdefence said: @Designia Blocs is fun to use and makes light work of website creation, another option is RapidWeaver. Before I was looking into Blocs, I was also exploring into RapidWeaver as well. Unfortunately, those are both Mac-only programs, and I guess Designia uses Windows.

Bri-Toon Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Haha it is too bad when there is a program only for one operating system. I am very particulate with web builders, and I feel while it doesn't necessarily need to be drag-and-drop, I need something that comes with structured blocks for inserting content. If that makes sense. Not something like Wix whereas you can place content anywhere, but to keep everything in a grid. Also, I struggle a lot in getting the exact design. There are dozens of templates, but not enough customization I feel. If I want to replicate a design of a website I really like, there never seems to be the right options other than having to use code. So the more "design" features, the more I'm likely to use the builder. Overall, finding the right tools is a tough job. I hope you find what you're looking for.

MikeW Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I've not built a site for a couple years now. But I did take the time to learn Pinegrow. If I was still working on sites, it's what I would use. Publoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yes, Pinegrow is another nice option. The combination of Pinegrow + Atom was mentioned in a couple of earlier threads.

firstdefence Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 @MEB Coffecup, that's a flash from the past, I can remember them doing several neat little apps, I can remember them being quite a quirky company too and having a sense of humour; which I liked, but that website is nothing like I remember.

Bri-Toon Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Designia, what features are you looking for in website creation? Before I recommend anything, I ask because there are quite a bunch of online web builders (which I'm sure you are aware of), but quite a few went up hill.

Publoo Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Thank you all for the advice about the software. At the moment I'm working at Themler. But I'm not entirely happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Have you ever heard of SnapPages? It is an online web builder that comes pretty feature-rich. I recommend it because they have a great theme designer, it's drag-and-drop, easy to use, and they carry a lot of the needed tools. The Basic plan is $10 per month which gives you unlimited pages and 10GB of storage. Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready.

Lowcountry Ronny Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Greetings all, As a long-time WebPlus user, and one that has actually tried out most of the web-editing apps listed in this thread... I still come back "home" to WebPlus each and every time. Xara is close in terms of a standalone app, but it is so much more cumbersome to use... no common master page, no easy navbar editing... lots of things "missing" on the Insert menu or context menu... wow... WebPlus has spoiled me! And... yep, this whole "responsive" website design concept is kind of junky in my opinion. Just go to one... any one... you get this HUGE big splash of a big graphics pic or animated panel on a PC display... or... your get an overly-simplistic presentation on a phone... hey, don't most mobile devices simply auto-adjust the presentation size of a normal web page anymore these days? Wow... I fail to see why the software folks at Serif do not see how easy and intuitive their WebPlus app has been for folks over the years? Come on, Serif... I'd LOVE to purchase an Affinity-level web-development app! Wix? Xara? Coffeecup (anything)? Err... I won't say good or bad about them, but... WebPlus still RULES to this day! Best regards, Doug W. A long-time WP user (and one that wants to continue to use it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
