Xara Web Designer+ re-imagines the process of website design, moving away from complex web design tools and limited site builders. It allows users to create websites in minutes, offering a high level of detail and flexibility expected from professional design software. The platform is designed to cater to a wide range of users, from small "mom and pop shops" to large businesses, emphasizing ease of use (rated 9.3) and high performance (4.5 out of 5 on G2). Its core innovation lies in its block-based design system, which allows users to combine, style, and arrange pre-designed layouts and features with just a few clicks. This includes 'Freehand blocks' for complete control over object and layer arrangement, and 'Flexblocks' that organize objects in a grid pattern for optimized layouts. Beyond design, Xara Web Designer+ provides extensive SEO control, including meta title and description management, image optimization with WebP conversion, SVG export, canonical tags, optimized image filenames, and self-hosted fonts for faster load times and GDPR compliance. The software also expands website capabilities through integrations, supporting appointment scheduling, video embedding, interactive forms for lead generation, and smooth payment processing, enabling users to grow their audience and manage transactions directly from their site. Additionally, it offers a rich library of templates for various purposes like portfolios, e-commerce sites, and blogs, alongside other design tools included with Xara Elements.
