Hello,

Thank you for any help you can give on this, I have made a few websites in Site Designer and let it upload to S-Drive so I can preview them and work out details and then upload the finished product to my own server, I will probably not continue with S-Drive after the trial expires because I have my own server. Not having FTP to anything other than S-Drive is making it difficult to build websites on my own servers for clients. Although I do like the way Site Designer only uploads changes made and makes designing fast, but on my own servers I'm uploading the entire website over and over if I don't remember everything that was changed. Site Designer is really cool but the absence of direct FTP upload to your own server is killing me.

On another note I was completely excited to get Responsive Email Designer and with that the creative possibilities are endless but it only allows 3 exports of projects and then stops working from what I gather unless buy the yearly mailer subscription, and you cannot remove the CoffeeCup footer, and I could not export the code and paste that into Web Form Builder Ehh.


If there is anyone out there using Site Designer to make client websites and doing it in a quicker work flow I would certainly appreciate any help.

Thank You

As to Site designer, I work pretty much as you describe; test on S-drive, then upload to my own, or a client's site using DFTP. When I have uploaded the whole thing to my own server, and if I need to change something, depending on the changes I upload just the changed files, like if I have changed something in the layout, I upload the pages in question plus the main.css. Changing a bit of text, then the page(s) needs to be uploaded. It is not necessary to upload the font files, social icons, images etc if you haven't made any changes in how they are used.

Regarding Email Designer, you need that subscription to be able to remove the branded footer.
Ha en riktig god dag!

From Support:
A purchase of RED automatically includes the Mailer subscription and vice versa. If you sign up for a Mailer service plan, RED comes included at no extra charge. So the customer would only pay $129 for the app and service (annually).

If you already pay for an S-Drive Plan that is Mailer level or higher, the RED subscription should automatically be included with it. Go to your Support Room (under the drop-down at the top right) and ask CC about it.

To export RED into WFB, while in RED:
Click File > Export to Web Form Builder. This should open a window showing you the Confirmation Emails and Notification Emails Folders (among others).
If the email you are working on is the confirmation email, click the confirmation folder and export there. If it is the notification email, click the notification email and export there.

When you go into the WFB settings, the RED email you just exported will appear in the confirmation drop-down or notification drop-down, whichever you selected.

Did you know that Web Form Builder can be used for both simple and complicated forms and that it's not limited to the default fonts and buttons? Take a look at a form we developed for WindowTinting.com.
