Serif really cares about their customers. And - I am not related to Serif and not paid to give a good critique to their products.
It's simple a very good piece of software and permanently under improvement. Enjoy it! Steven Avery Hi, Thank you Michael. Serif built up a good reputation in simple DeskTop Publishing, but the point you highlight is disturbing. It simply makes no sense to buy an un-code desktop webdev package that is not fully a home-base product, especially with so many good ones out there occasionally on Bits.
A related point is more of a UK problem, Serif puts an earlier edition on a CD and then have skilled "hard sell" marketeers with your ear while you wait to have them register tricky, eh. Markeing is one reason why I prefer when Bits works with small "human face" companies, everybody and their brother and cousin can work with the big boys, with twists and games.
Michael K Serif There are many websites that sell website templates that can be pulled in to Dreamweaver and edited. Can those website templates or indeed any other website template set be bought from the Internet and pulled into WebpPlus in the same way or are Serif WebPlus templates different in some way and therefore does one need to buy specifically prepared WebPlus templates?
MB I don't see an answer from Serif yet on the point so we'll have to wait and see what they say. Adrian Williams I've used Webplus X5 and other similar software. The points made earlier regarding serif's 'smart objects' are exactly right - you don't have full control over where the files are kept. Saying that, the software is excellent - pretty much a desktop publishing package approach that produces a very professional looking website.
Some I've done with the rather expensive xsitepro. It all depends on what you want to achieve. The tutorials on the link I gave earlier will get you up and running quickly with web plus. Don't rule the software out on the basis of some smart objects being marginally out of your control.
You'll find you won't necessarily need them in most cases. Michael K Adrian Your posts in this conversation are excellent and much appreciated. Thanks Michael. Adrian Williams One final point about the hard aftersales.
You can register the product online to avoid the initial phone conversation. You will get emails with promotions but that's fine if you want to save a few quid. If you get an offer at a ridiculously low price, it means the next version is a few weeks away from launch! Charlotte Sinclaire anyone who knows My main complaint in the products I'm finding while researching visual web design software e.
Even though this would go through their server, all it is -- to the best of my understanding -- is a "travel-through" and no differemt than how any other third-party forms service handles forms for their users, at least as far as I'm aware.
That said, I am open to suggestions of other "visual" web design softwares, as long as they give me good form development features. So if anyone has any specific suggestions of software programs I should compare to WebPlus before I purchase, please speak up now. I really need to know, and I'd really appreciate your suggestions. I was previously planning to go with Adobe Muse despite the monthly subscription they require to use it until I had trouble with their forms functions -- or rather, lack thereof -- and they have responded with basically silence, no matter how many times people have brought this up.
So I'm looking for an alternative to coding in Dreamweaver and an alternative to Muse as far as a visual design software. I need to be able to have full form functions, not just a contact form -- and, to be fair, there ARE ways to create third-party forms in Muse, but 4 out of 5 times, the pages iimplode when you upload them to a server other than Adobe's Business Catalyst, which I do not want to use.
Anyone with further suggestions before I go too far here? Thanks much in advance. You use any webhost you like too. What that Amazon review talks about are things like blogs, polls, resource bookers and other add-ons that require a database. In fact, many of the features can be reconstructed using different software.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you want to know anything else. I don't mind my data being on Serif's servers as long as I don't have to pay extra for the priviledge!
I hope you're enjoying the software! Joel Koltner Regarding SmartObjects For someone who wants to remain a "designer" and not really a "programmer," this probably doesn't translate into a whole lot of fun. Michael K Serif Many thanks for your detailed response to my question concerning what is hosted on Serif servers etc and I now am clear on the position as well as being much reassured.
There is still the question concerning which 3rd party template packages can be brought into WebPlus for building a website and the detail of my question is reprinted below as it seems to have missed your attention so far: There are many websites that sell website multiple page templates that can be pulled in to Dreamweaver and edited.
Can those website templates or indeed any other website template sets be bought from the Internet and pulled into WebpPlus in the same way or are Serif WebPlus template sets different in some way and therefore does one need to buy specifically prepared templates that are suitable for importing into WebPlus? Thanks Michael ". Steven Avery Hi, Here is my question. If you do a website and place it on a savvy host. Would it be hard for Serif to allow the host to host?
Why does your web site have to be fractured into a dual host? And does anybody else do this type of dualism? I ask this to really know. Maybe there are complications otherwise, maybe Serif does some special handholding. On the other hand, an application setting up a database would seem to be a common function for any host. Glen G Been trying to install the trial for 2 days - simply reaches the reboot point, does a reboot and Sent a message to Serif to ask for assistance, but no reply - which does not encourage me to buy the software.
