What are Xara Modules?
Xara Modules are simple web page add-ons that allow any webmaster
to enhance their website with photo, graphic or text effects.
Webmasters can also build powerful data applications without
any programming knowledge using Xara Online's connectable
Module system.
Photo, Graphics and Text Effect Modules
This range comprises of over 30 Modules. Site
Updater and Text Effects Modules allow the webmaster to
present information in a variety of efficient of visually-impressive
ways. They can even syndicate content to other websites. Graphics
and Photo Effects allow the webmaster to give visual impact
to their website. Photos can be given interesting effects,
and custom graphics such as buttons can be created with no
graphical skills required.
Data Manager Modules
This range consists of a number of connectable data Modules.
The connectable Modules offer
advanced database, e-mail and SMS functionality meaning no
programming skills are required to quickly create powerful
applications.
How do they work?
All the hard work is done by Xara Online's servers. This
means the webmaster can perform any functions they want —
whether it's intensive database searching or impressive photo
effects — without putting any strain on their
webserver.
Added to this, there are no technical requirements for hosting
the website. Even a user on a free web space service could
build an application and integrate it into their website.
This diagram outlines how the Modules work within the webmaster's
website.

Web page add-ons can be integrated seamlessly into any website.
The HTML is fetched from the web server whilst the Xara Modules
are fetched from the Xara servers, which in turn communicates
with the SOAP-based web services to other web servers.
