Many people have asked for program recommendations.Some of the software that I currently recommend is shown on this page. This page will always be a work in progress so it may not contain the software I would mention to meet your specific needs.These recommendations are based on my opinion based on: usability, features, functions, compatibility, user skills. Some are paid programs, others are free. Cost is considered but is not the main factor in my overall recommendation but would be given more weight if a client has expressed certain budgets. Some manufactures run “discounts/specials/sales” and others do not.In most cases, I have personally used or continue to use these software. aWebWench Recommends...HomeAboutContactWebsite Design ElementsAdult TutorPublic NotaryOther Specialties

This online 3D Heading Maker sampler includes just a handful of headings created in Xara 3D Maker. Using the full Xara 3D Maker program gives you infinite possibilities for example you can edit bevels, extrusion, lighting, foreground and background colors and textures, shadows and all the font settings. Xara 3D Maker also lets you alter the heading position, extrusion and bevel depth on screen in real-time, just by dragging it.

If there is a special rate available, you would still be eligible for the discounts! I am an affiliate with one manufacture at this time (to earn personal discounts if you click through to their site and buy from them). This agreement DOES NOT affect the cost you would pay for the program. I register for affiliation for products I like but ONLY with companies I trust, that seem to be fair and honest about this policy.
If you need graphics editor with photo abilities then Photo & Graphic Designer (P&GD) may fit the bill. This version does not make web pages.I highly recommend the Web Designer Premium (XWDP) for easy web designing with “fun” factor. This is also an excellent choice for current CSB software users needing a replacement.Don’t bother with the basic version. It is lacking tools you will need.If you want an all-in-one program that handles your photos, graphics AND website design, then Designer Pro (XDP) is the best option for your needs.Only one program to use/upgrade. At this point the program has matured to a very well rounded program and has become my number one go-to program for anything graphic related. Even though I use it to build some websites, I still use it to prepare graphics for insertion into other website software. When considering price, remember the XDP is compatible with most functions of Adobe Illustrator (vector graphics) + Corel Paint Shop Pro (raster images) + HTML Navigation menus & buttons + HTML website generator based on graphics. Yet is less than the cost of just one of those! With an easier learning curve.
