Web Design Features:

• Responsive web design - Keep your site looking good on any device with automatic website optimization for smartphones and tablets – there's no programming knowledge required at all! The new "Scale to Fit Width" option automatically scales content within each web variant so that it fits the width of the screen or browser, meaning your website can be viewed better on different devices.
• Included: Web storage & domain name - Go live with your website right away. Xara Designer Pro X comes with 2 GB of web storage and a domain of your choosing** for one year!
• Website templates - The Online-Content-Catalog* contains 240 website templates, so you're sure to find the perfect one no matter the theme of your website. All elements are 100% customizable. The new Magic Color Match function offers unlimited options for customizing your projects.
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - Want to make your website available to as many users as possible? Use NoFollow links and optimized image data for Google and other search engines.
• Panorama photo slider - Use the full width of your website to present your photos. This showcases your images and makes your website an absolute eye-catcher. Expand the slider any way you want – either with a prominent call-to-action button or a customized header.
• Sticky objects - Sticky objects are unaffected by scrolling and remain visible at the same position. This is a great feature for navigation bars.
• Reveal effects - Use the object reveal effects to fade in elements as soon as the corresponding area of your website is visible in a browser. This adds movement and variety to the page.

Photo and Graphic Design Features:
