Webstyle's customizable professionally-designed templates give you almost limitless possibilities, from button bars and banner ads to photo albums and complete page layouts.

Whether you're a time-pressed designer or a complete novice, you can create professional-quality graphics and photos for the web with just the click of a button.

Create professional quality graphics
Webstyle works by taking professionally-designed templates and simply editing them to suit your needs. The graphic types include:

• NavBars & DHTML menus
• Themesets
• Buttons
• Backgrounds
• 3D headings
• Headings
• Bullets
• Dividers
• Logos
• Banner ads

All the templates are fully customizable, meaning you can change the text, color, size and style in just a few clicks. Just choose a template, alter the content and settings, save your graphic and insert it into your web page - as easy as 1-2-3.

Create complete page layouts
Xara Webstyle extends the same template-based approach to complete page layouts.

• Web page designs

Each professionally created design offers multiple layouts so you can quickly create consistently designed sites, complete with all their graphics and navigation. All you need to do is export the pages to your web authoring tool to complete the content.

Edit & enhance photos for the web, and create thumbnail albums
Import your photos into Webstyle and quickly and easily enhance or edit them ready for your web pages. Xara Webstyle's intuitive user interface makes it probably the fastest program for turning your digital photos into optimized and enhanced web-ready images. Our unique technology means that there is no loss of quality in the photos, however many times you edit and save them, unlike practically all other photo editors.

What's more it's just as easy to create thumbnails with pop-ups - Webstyle automatically creates all the necessary HTML and JavaScript for you. You can also create complete web photo albums with a new and intuitive drag 'n' drop interface - just import all your images, order, edit and enhance them - then save as an album.

• Photos
• Photo albums

New in Xara Webstyle: the Photo Editor within Webstyle continues to work after the end of the 15 day trial, making the Webstyletrial itself an essential tool for every webmaster wanting to add photos to their website.

Integration with Dreamweaver and FrontPage
If you use Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage as your web authoring software, you can take advantage of seamless integration with Xara Webstyle. When you install Webstyle, extra menus are installed in each of these programs so that you can insert Webstyle items while you are editing your web pages.

No graphical or technical skill required
Even the most graphically-challenged person can create stunning professional-quality graphics with Xara Webstyle. Whether you're making NavBars & DHTML menus, enhancing photos or saving and placing your files within web pages - every task has been made to be as easy-to-use as possible. Even tricky JavaScript and HTML files needed for dynamic menus and thumbnails are created automatically for you.

Auto-optimized for the web
Everything you create with Webstyle 4 is automatically optimized for the web. That means all your graphics, photos and thumbnails will be compact, fast-loading files, so they won't slow down your web site.

What's new in Webstyle:

• New Web Page object type
  Now you're no longer restricted to making web graphics and inserting them into your web site yourself - you can create complete web pages already containing your graphics.
• Smart copying of theme elements across themed web pages
  Xara Webstyle makes it simple to copy changes from one layout to another, such as NavBars and menus, logos and colors. So once you have created your first page, it can take just minutes to produce a complete site with consistently themed pages. Creating a professional looking site has never been easier!
• Photo album builder and web page album type
  In Xara Webstyle 3 we gave you the chance to edit and enhance your digital photos - and now you can make them into fully-functioning photo albums to use in your website.
• Master file editing of photos
  With other photo software, each time you load and save a photo it becomes more distorted and gradually deteriorates. Webstyle retains a memory of the original master file and every time you alter the image, even if you load a processed or 'after' image, it actually performs the requested operation using the original master.
• Many new templates and designs
  Webstyle 4 includes all the graphical resources of version 3.1 and Template Pack 1 - plus a collection of completely new customizable web page designs/themesets.
• New 'my colors' way of applying colors to graphics
  When changing a color in a design, it's now possible to take a color you've used before in a previous project and copy it to your current design. This allows you to retain consistency between designs and it's a great time saver.
• Automatic detection, download and install of new templates and designs
  Xara Webstyle 4 makes it easy to view any new designs right within the program, and download and install them as they become available. Webstyle automatically checks the Xara servers at intervals to determine whether there are new designs and templates available.
• Extended compatibility
  Webstyle 4 integration will now work with Microsoft FrontPage 2003 and Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004. The menus will be supported by Opera 7 and Safari (on the Mac).
• User interface enhancements
  A slicker UI in some areas, in response to user requests and suggestions - such as a more intuitive projects feature, extra pop-up help, improved import process and completely revised HTML help.
