If you wish to re-format a standard definition site created in an older version of Designer
to one with high resolution images then bear in mind that you will have to import your
photos afresh to Designer Pro with the Retina feature turned on.

See Optimizing Photos and Bitmaps for more detailed information on image resolutions.

Creating a website

There are two ways to create a new website. Either by starting with a pre-designed
template and then customizing this with your own text, photos and color scheme. Or by
creating a website from scratch, placing all the required elements, text, graphics, photos
and placeholders on the page as you require.

Using Templates, Clipart & Widgets

Open the Designs Gallery by clicking the Designs Gallery tab on the Galleries

bar or select "FILE" > "NEW FROM DESIGNS GALLERY".
