I have saved the best for the last. SuperWidgets. SuperWidgets? SuperWidgets! SuperWidgets (is there an echo in here?) are a collection of smart widgets that include photo and text animations and other cool things that you can customize, but in which all the programming has been done for you. OK, you say, eyebrows raised, give me an example. Drag and drop this Twitter Widget onto your page. Double click on the gadget and a new window opens and prompts you to replace the XaraGroup Twitter name with your own Twitter user ID. Drag and drop your avatar to replace the Twitter T logo, and close the editing window. You’ll be asked to save your work, and when you do so the editing window closes and when you Export and Preview your page, you will see your new avatar, your edited tag line (I added “I am all a Twitter!”) and your most recent tweets. I did not use my Twitter account because my last tweet was several years ago. So I used the default setup which is XaraGroup. OK. So, what else? More examples please.  
The slide show above is from the Eyecatcher Widgets folder. Double click on the widget to edit and replace the photos with your own or your own designs. Add more photos or images. Press Save and you’re good to go. You can click the buttons or just play automatically. [This is updating this very minute!] Another Eyecatcher Widget is called Easy Accordian (shown above). Double click on the widget (in Web Designer not on this page!) to edit and replace the photos with your own or your own designs, clever text and links. Save and you’re done. Xara will automatically add more SuperWidgets to the Designs Gallery as they become available.
There are some awesome Flash animations such as this one.
And there are quite a number of sample Flash animations such as the one above that teach you various Flash animation tricks. Plus several Flash photo animations that you can modify using your own images. There are lots of pre-designed headers, and buttons, that you can quickly and easily modify. For example, I dragged the three blue button sample shown on the left (Button Text 1, etc.) onto the page. Double clicked to edit and checked Site Navigation Bar which automatically changed and linked the button names to the actual page names for this site. There are quite a few nicely designed photo gallery objects which you can edit and replace with your own photos, and a ton of very swell looking icons and graphics as shown below. Most can be scaled up or down to suit your design needs tastes. Last but not least, there are some excellent media players (probably the number one question raised on TalkGraphics—How do I add an audio or video player to my website? Answer: Quite easily, with the Magix Audio and Media players. A free membership is required and the free media player does have Magix branding (do you think they are trying to get you to upgrade to the paid version???) There are a bunch of e-commerce widgets. You will need an active account with one of the providers, PayPal, Google Checkout, Ecwid, eBay, Amazon, Cartfly or Shopit to use the widgets. Remember the features covered here are in Xara Web Designer 7 Premium. Check the Xara.com website for a comparison list of features  for the two versions. To sum up. There are a ton of things to like about WDP7. As with all Xara products, you get a lot of features and function for a modest investment. If you are serious about web site design, then WDP7 is the way to go. The improved streamlined user interface with the cleaner clearer type is a joy. The added tools (like the 3D Extrude Tool), the Freehand and Brush Tool and the Straight Line Tool, and additional transparency types give you a lot more Designer Pro features. The SuperWidgets and Designs Gallery contents put a lot of power at your fingertips. I love the transitions. And the improved publishing options and presentations mode make this an even better overall package. I would like to hear your thoughts, questions and comments.

To make the pendulum rotate as gracefully and realistically as it does, the pendulum object has been named “rotate <>pendulum. Rotate causes the pendulum to swing back and forth and the angle brackets <> accelerates and slows down the swing.
