With the recent release of WebDesign 3.5, we are extremely excited to spread the word of WebDesign’s new Inspector feature, which allows users to click on areas of their site in the live side-by-side preview window, and automatically be taken to that part of the site in the code. The following video will demonstrate this great new feature, and show exactly how it works.

Video Transcript:

WebDesign now offers the all new inspector feature, which is a click and edit option using the live side-by-side previews. Here’s how it works.

Simply move your mouse cursor over certain areas of your site on the live preview. You will see how a red rectangle will appear over certain elements on the page.

If you click on any of these elements, it will highlight the code on the left side, making it very easy for you to edit each part of your website.

This feature makes it even easier for any user who is not all that familiar with HTML, but wants to quickly and easily edit a template.

WebDesign is now an even better option for users looking for alternate website builder to iWeb.

You can also click your navigation links, to be taken to the code for your navigation menus. If you want to change the text in the links on each page, then you can edit that right from within your page. BUT, if you want your navigation menu to appear the same on each of your pages, you will still need to edit the actual include file itself.

To do this, just open up the site manager, and open the include file that you want to edit, and make your changes there.

We are happy to announce a major update to WebDesign, the fully featured web authoring package and HTML editor for Mac OS X. This update adds a number of enhancements, most notably support for HTML 5.

If you are new to HTML 5, you’ll love the new features we added. You can now see what tags and attributes are new to HTML 5 and a description for each one in the attribute editor. Auto complete and syntax checking also support the new HTML 5 tags and attributes.

Publishing from the Site manager has also been improved. WebDesign will now mark documents that have been changed with a modified tag and only publish those files that have been modified locally. To restore the behavior from version 3.0 you can hold option as you publish. This will do a one way sync to your FTP server.

Lots of other bug fixes and improvements can be found in this update. It is free for registered 3.x users.

We are extremely proud to introduce WebDesign 3.0, a major update to our web authoring and html editing software for Mac OS X. In development for a few years now, WebDesign 3.0 includes many new features including a redesigned user interface, over 20 professionally designed website templates, live side-by-side website previews and much more.

This release of WebDesign is the biggest yet. We focused all of our attention on making it easy for beginners to design their first website while giving power users the features they need to create and edit their existing sites. By providing website templates, users now have a starting point to base their websites off of so they can get their site up as quickly as possible. The live side-by-side web page previews show you exactly what your website will look like as you build it.

We wanted to create a tool that provided a great transition between a web builder like iWeb or RapidWeaver to an HTML editor that didn’t require you to be a coding expert. All the essential tools are now available to you to create that professional, fast loading website.

We have just posted two new beta updates for RAGE MapDesign and RAGE WebDesign.

Firstly, RAGE WebDesign, which a lot of users have been waiting for, now includes the new text engine we have been promising for a while now. It did take us some time to work out all the issues and get it ready for Intel Macs. But it is here now and works beautifully on both Intel and PPC Macs. It also provides better support for double byte languages such as Japanese and Chinese, among many other improvements.

We have also released a beta version of MapDesign which adds support for transparent PNGs. Now you can create beautiful, interactive image maps with transparent images.

You can sign up to beta test by creating a beta testers account at http://www.trybeta.com/home/

You will see both applications listed there.

Thanks for the patients and we are eager to here what you think of the new updates.

We know a lot of your have been looking forward to a Universal Binary version of RAGE WebDesign. We have been working really hard on this and I just wanted to post an update on its status.

We have a version of RAGE WebDesign running on Intel Macs. It’s running very nicely, much faster than before, as a Universal Binary.

We have upgraded to a totally new text engine so working with double-byte characters such as Japanese or Chinese will also work much better than before. In addition, working with any unicode files will also see improvements.

We have also made a few additions, interface tweaks, and added new features. This version of RAGE WebDesign will be FREE for registered 2.x users and we will be posting a beta version for you to try real soon.
