INSTALLATION
& GRAPHIC INTERFACE

create-a-website-incomedia-website-x5

The changes to Version 9 start right from the installation process, which is now much easier and no longer requires an unlock code, previously sent via e-mail.  

When you start the program, the new user interface is easier and more intuitive to work with: the various options in the windows and panels have been re-organized to make them even more functional and there are now lots more previews available.

Thanks to the new interface design and the possibility to freely resize the program window and even set it to full screen, project development is simplified as you can work with greater precision and speed.

Another important addition to Version 9 is the Preferences window', where you can set a number of general settings  for program execution mode, such as how and when backup copies are generated and how the built-in browser handles previews.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

STEP 1
General settings

In Version 9 we have given a lot of attention to the graphic aspect of the site. All the templates included with the program have been reviewed and updated. The result of our restyling is a completely new gallery with 1,500 different templates.

The custom template feature has also been greatly enhanced: it's now easier to obtain the precision you want when designing your layout, and you can check your work as you go in the preview. We have also included an option for resizing the background according to the size of the browser window, so that you can create full-screen websites.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

STEP 2
Map creation


sitemap-build-a-website

The Map tree, which is the heart of your project, has been redesigned, while maintaining the same working logic as before.

Previous limits to the number of levels have been removed, and projects can now have much more pages.

Separators have been included and Special Pages (referring to the welcome page, blog, members' area and shopping cart) are displayed. Associating locked pages with users/groups has been simplified.

New options for the Page properties and levels greatly improve the possibilities of customizing page graphics and code: you can now associate a different site background with each single page.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

STEP 3
Page creation

The starting point for creating pages remains the Page Layout Table, but now you can add up to 64 rows and 16 columns. Improvements have also been made to how you select and move objects.

The Cell Format window has many interesting new features, including automatic adaptation of background images to cell size, improved margin and border management and a brand new Styles library.

All the Objects available for adding page content have been revised.

The Gallery Object has undergone the most changes. You now have a wide choice of both Flash and JavaScript galleries in which both images and videos can be mixed.

Images can now be protected from unauthorized copying, and a built-in Media Player for FLV and MP4 formats has been included for videos. You can even reproduce videos directly from YouTube.

The E-mail form Object has also been enhanced: new field types have been added, data-collection databases have been integrated, and you now have greater control over the layout and design of e-mails.

Syntax highlighting has been added to the HTML code and Widgets Object editor and we are pleased to say we have included a series of ready-to-use widgets for adding features such as Guest books, Google Maps and Facebook's "Like" button to your websites.

STEP 4
Advanced settings

The main menu is automatically created and updated on the basis of the site map and it is completely open to graphic customization. Dropdown menus may have several columns or a single column with accordion display. You can now associate icons with menu items and add separators, thus making the menus even more functional and user-friendly, with a refined look.

website-objects-program-to-create-a-website

Improvements have been made to the Styles and Models section: it now includes all the necessary options for defining the styles of text, the ShowBox (where zoomed images/videos in SlideShows and Galleries are displayed), ToolTips associated with links and e-mails generated by the E-mail form object and Shopping Cart.


Continuing in our objective of offering maximum flexibility in website creation, advertising messages can be displayed not only in the top right corner (PagePeel) but now they can also be placed at the top, in the middle or at the bottom of the page.

The Blog has also been subjected to a major restyling. It assumes the graphic settings of the website it is associated with and these may then be tailored as required. The Text Object editor is now also used for writing Posts. You can customize the ToolBox on the side of the Blog page and decide which tools are to be included (recent posts, categories, clouds, useful links, etc), the order in which they appear and their style.

The Members' Area section has been completely redesigned. The user access system has been renewed, and now you can give access to single users, organize them into groups and specify which locked pages each user can access.

The Online Store boasts numerous improvements to product catalog creation, shipping and payment methods, volume discount management, minimum order settings, currency and VAT management for each individual product.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

STEP 5
Export

When you have completed your website and are ready to publish it on the Internet, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that the built-in FTP engine in Version 9 has been completely redesigned.


First of all, the FTP engine now supports secure connections for transferring data and, by working in multi-connection, it can improve publication time 5/10-fold, with respect to the previous Version 8. You can save even more time by publishing only the files that have been changed. Furthermore, gzip compression is now available.

create-a-website-with-software-and-webspace

When your website has been published on the Internet, we think you will find the new broadcast feature very useful, as this lets you notify social networks and search engines that your website is now online or has been updated, and they will update accordingly.

If you want to make a backup copy of your work, or transfer your project to a different computer, then use the new optimize and batch feature, that generates a single, compressed file of the entire project.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

CODE & FILE GENERATION

editor-html5-website-x5-html5

WebSite X5 doesn't require any specific programming skills and, in compliance with the latest web developments and the support offered by Browsers, it automatically generates the page code in HTML5 + CSS 2.1/3.


All the files that are created during Page code generation are encoded in UTF8, guaranteeing full support for all languages.

WebSite X5 also integrates and uses the JavaScript jQuery library in each generated page so that custom code can be easily added.

jquery-javascript-library-website-x5

In addition to these important improvements to code generation, Version 9 also includes a new project and file management system that offers full multi-threading support: this technology significantly improves system performance, especially when working on multi-core processors.

Another feature that has been introduced is the possibility to directly set page creation during project editing, in order to keep the local site Preview synchronized with development.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

SEO & SEARCH ENGINES

We have placed great importance on generating page code according to Best Practices, thus ensuring adherence to standards, full compatibility with all browsers and complete search engine indexing.

Website optimization has been improved, giving you greater control over important parameters such as titles, description and alternative texts, which are used by the search engines to index a website. The enhanced SiteMap now includes information on images and videos, and this information can be broadcast when the site is published online.

To give you complete control of your website, simple procedures for integrating services such as Google Webmaster Central and Google Analytics into your site have been introduced.
