WebPlus now does all the hard work for you. I increased the font size from 12 to 14 point to compensate for the smaller x-height of the Mandala font used for this text compared to that for Verdana. My free OpenType fonts have lots of symbols, e. Using custom fonts in this way greatly extends the versatility of WebPlus for foreign languages or special purposes.
For me, this feature alone makes it worth upgrading to WebPlus X8 as I develop my own fonts, and need to use lots of Latin Extended characters on my Buddhist sites. It has long been a problem to use correct spellings and still be sure that site visitors can read the texts without downloading and installing special fonts.
Even if one needs to use Burmese, Sinhala, or Thai words, as long as one has a suitable font that supports those character sets, WebPlus will do all of the coding, and upload the fonts automatically. Exclude any page from publication if it is not yet ready to publish. Very useful in the design stage, or when reviewing products not yet ready for sale. Large video files, PDF files, or archives can be uploaded just once unless the linked resource is updated locally.
When opening the package on another PC, you will be asked to choose a folder to which to extract the content. Note: SWR will cease to function on August 31st and submission of forms will cease on 1st April Ask on CommunityPlus for alternative solutions. The Task Manager Tab replaces the Site-checker with smart reminders of tasks that need to be done to fix site problems.
Users can add their own tasks to create a ToDo list. Add text or logos to images to watermark them. Users often ask how to protect their images on the Internet. This method is perhaps the most effective solution, but it takes too much work for general use. I have added a text watermark to the image on the left.
They are combined with the original image on uploading the page to create a new watermarked image. For me, the benefit of font embedding is the most valuable improvement. My Buddhist sites need Latin Extended Additional characters and I develop my own fonts, so being able to embed fonts easily without writing and testing fontface code is a huge bonus. The Audio Player also solved problems with playing MP3 files without opening a new tab.
Below is a brief summary of some legacy features also found in WebPlus X8. Sites published with WPX7 use the latest HTML5 standard, which offers the best compatibility playback with no browser plug-in or media playing software required.
Just design your site freely using the many tools provided and the code will be generated for you. Of course, if you do know HTML coding, you can insert code snippets into your site. The feeds-based Startup Assistant helps new users get up and running quicker with video tutorials. The news feed keeps you informed about the latest updates and other Serif News such as Patches, and special offers.
The latest announcement is that Serif Web Resources will be closing down on August 31st , after which any Smart Objects will no longer function. Switch to another source to provide forms, forums, etc. Insert videos using the Flowplayer to play MP4 video without users needing to install Flash player.
The player can be customised in many ways to change its size and appearance on your site. However, there is a small banner on the player, which can only be removed by licensing the player.
Workspaces have been around as long as the Studio Tabs. In previous versions one could save and load customised workspaces to suit different projects. A drop-list on the context toolbar makes it easy to switch workspaces.
Tip: Remember to save any changes made to the toolbars, menus, or studio tab layout to a workspace file before selecting another one.
This is a great time-saver. On starting WebPlus you can now have it load the site or sites you were last working on, display the page you were working on, and resume just where you left off, already zoomed in to fit the page width, or however you prefer to work.
See Options, General, On Startup. When you preview your site in any browser, there is no longer any choice between previewing the current page or the whole site. The current page is previewed automatically, and other pages are generated as and when they are needed if you browse from the current page.
This is also a huge time-saver. Instead of having to return to WebPlus, and navigate the site to preview a different page, you just navigate in your browser. If the page is long and complex it make take a few seconds to be generated, but you never have to generate the entire site to preview all pages as in earlier versions. This view gives an overview of the entire site structure as a tree, and allows pruning and grafting of pages and their child pages to another branch of the tree.
Although it is more user-friendly than the Site Tab, it is far less useful for restructuring a web site than the outline view that the Site Tab provides. NetObjects Fusion does it much better. The screen shot shows a crop from the Structure View of the current site, for which 14 out of 28 site pages will fit my x monitor at a size large enough to tell which page is which from the Titles or page previews.
WebPlus has medium 18 pix and large 24 pix icons for those with large monitors or less than perfect eyesight. A new Colour Toolbar makes it easier to apply fill, line, and text colours, and a Studio Toolbar gives quick access to your favourite studio tabs.
The menus have been totally rearranged to give those upgrading something new to learn, and to puzzle new users too no doubt. Its not all bad, of course, there are some logical changes, but I recommend spending a few hours customising the menus so that they make sense to you before you start using WebPlus in earnest.
The site navigation combo box in the status line has been improved to make it much easier to navigate large sites. On opening the combo box, the site structure is shown collapsed or expanded in the state it was when last used, making it easy to move around one branch of a large site without scrolling down a long list of pages to find the right one. Detect if site visitors are using a mobile device and redirect them to another page.
WebPlus can produce high quality sites for mobile devices using redirects, but it does not create responsive sites.
See the tutorial on Creating Mobile Sites and Pages.

There is no need to know anything about HTML code, though if you do you can add some extras.

Text can be edited directly on the page, or in WritePlus — a powerful text editor built in to WebPlus.
