Site Updater and Text effects

Webmasters can add impact to their website with animated text effects, without the need for any technical skills. In just a few minutes they can add effects that will immediately attract the attention of their visitors. Webmasters can also easily update content on their website, or syndicate content to other websites.

Producing quality text effects is usually a complex and skilled task requiring programming or Java knowledge — but not anymore. The Xara Module system enables anyone to create animated text with their own wording and colors. All this is done with no programming, no complex Java or CGI scripts.

The range of text effects include scrolling messages, sliding messages, typewriter text and sliding presentations.

There's also the Site Updater module that enables the webmaster to create content, in rich colors and styles, which can then be easily updated. This means that anyone in a company can update a website. The Site Updater even be distributed across many websites if required — one change in the content will be instantly updated on all of the websites. It's all hosted from Xara Online's servers, which means no strain is put on the webmaster's website server.

The Xara Modules allow users of all web authoring systems to embed these functions into their website. Users simply personalize their chosen text effect and then they are given a short one line HTML snippet to embed into their website. There is also a FrontPage Addin and a Dreamweaver Extension so that the integration is seamless.

These Xara Modules can all be remotely updated so the webmaster doesn't need to go back into the website HTML.
