Xara Web Designer 10 release notes
Example Responsive & Supersites
Restaurant Menu. This is an example Supersite and Responsive Website designed for tablets and
above. It uses Supersite transitions (a different one for each page), but also responds to browser width
or tablet orientation, showing landscape for landscape orientation and portrait version for portrait
orientation (this does not have a mobile version).
It also has ‘fit to screen’ on so it scales to fit any browser size.
You can use arrow key as a navigation shortcut or a swipe gesture on touch devices.

Here’s a version of the same document demonstrating the ‘vertical scrolling’ Supersite option.

Print Style Documents: This document is typical of a print or ‘desktop publishing’ style document,
consisting of fixed pages, which can work well as a Supersite. Here it’s published in various ways;

Islands photo slide-show: This is an example of a simple responsive photo slide-show website, using
fit-to-screen, swipe gestures, automatic Retina resolution imagery, and device orientation. This contains
large very high resolution photos, so is best viewed on a fast internet connection.

One of the RWD templates: This is one of the free themes included with Xara Web Designer, that
includes variants for three classes of device, normal ‘desktop’ wide web-browsers, medium sized
browsers such as tablets, and narrow mobile screens.

You can view the variants on a desktop browser by reducing the browser width.
The mobile variant has a larger text size that is better suited to a very small screen, and uses a single
tap pop-up navigation button in place of a classic NavBar.
Combination Responsive Supersite: This is a modern website design using a combination of
responsive layouts (narrow the browser to see other variants) e.g. the Designer page has a 3 column
layout for wide displays, 2 column for medium and 1 column for narrow mobile displays. It also
includes Supersite scrolling animation effects, photo slideshow widgets (the fading photo on the first
page) with horizontal and vertical scrolling page designs.
