I tested Xara Web Designer 9 Premium and I love it. With the Pro version you can also show your site using the built-in Web meeting service, and export it as a Flash presentation or in various graphics formats. You can add videos, audio and PDFs, and publish to websites via FTP. Widgets include Google Maps, Facebook Like and Twitter buttons, Picasa photo albums, Flickr slideshows, YouTube movies, forms, news feeds, photo and content slideshows, interactive charts and graphs, and e-commerce support for PayPal, eBay To Go and Amazon. There's also built-in HTML5 support that ensures that audio and video on your website will play on iOS. The templates are engineered to be compatible with both Android and iOS clients and touchscreens. The latter adds, among other things, more templates, e-commerce widgets, Flash and GIF animations, embedded fonts, page turn animations, layer transitions and support for Google Fonts. XWD comes in two versions: Web Designer 9 ($49.99) and Web Designer 9 Premium ($99.99). You can even drag single pages from a different template into a website you're building and, if you want, XWD will modify the new content to match the styles you've set. You can also place objects on layers, set objects to appear on every page of the site you create, and XWD comes with templates that you can simply drag from the template gallery onto the work area. To build a page, you simply drag and drop page components (images, graphics, text and widgets) onto the page, position them, add behaviors such as mouse-over effects and how components "repel" text (this allows text to flow around, for example, an image or another block of text), and attach hyperlinks to components. XWD, available for Windows only, has a very clever orientation: It makes assembling Web content feel more like using a desktop publishing system than anything else.
