NJCallis's review of Serif WebPlus 6

“Serif WebPlus 6”

★☆☆☆☆

written by NJCallis on 21/11/2013

I have now been using Serif WebPlus X6 for about a month. Whilst using it I constantly wonder why Serif decided that it would be a good idea to reinvent the wheel! The program is, I am told, based on HTML 4.01. So why not use it directly? It would be possible to design just as well in that as in Serif's own rather convoluted code. In fact, it would be MUCH easier. I have attempted the almost impossible task of creating a bulleted list - using coloured bullet points and plain text. It cannot be done! Serif's suggestion was to use a two-column table and put coloured images in the first column and the text in the second. Fiddly to an extreme! And even then it is not good, as in some browsers the table does not show as set. In some the first column images overlap the second column text. In others they are a long was apart! NOT GOOD!
They should upgrade this program to HTML5 – which, although still a work in progress, is sufficiently advanced to be useable. I feel that the price is way over the top for this product unless they will guarantee to upgrade to HTML5 for free.
In addition - to add insult to injury - they sent me an e-mail asking for a review - and when I went to the link I was unable to leave one. Instead received the message "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found." Not a good advertisement for their products! Finally I managed to get to page that offered me a NEW product - using HTML5!!!! And it asked me to review the new product which I do not have!I I attempted to put in the above - but the "submit" button did not work.
They also stated that it is possible to leave feedback at at ReviewCentre.com. But when I went there was informed that
I am now quite disgusted with the company!
