Good afternoon,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I have previously purchased a copy of wysywig web builder and built a simple website for my partners small business.
I spend most of my computing time using Linux and was wondering if I purchase a copy of Quick 'n Easy Web Builder 10 will I be able to open the project created in wysiwyg web builder and edit and publish it from Quick 'n Easy Web Builder or will I always have to log in to Windows and use wysiwyg web builder?
Thanks for any help.
James

From the url below
Note that this is a different product. It was created from scratch for Mac/Linux with different development tools, the project files are not compatible with WYSIWYG Web Builder.
However, WWB does have an option to export to QnEWB projects: File -> Save As -> Quick 'n Easy Web Builder Project

Just to add that I have done this very thing, and it worked fantastically!
Now I'll be the first to admit that it wasn't a hugely complicated website, but it was responsive, had lots of slideshows and image galleries etc and it all worked seamlessy. Also, it didn't use any plugins, so I don't how well they'd map across.
Good luck with it! I find Linux is such a breath of fresh air after using Windows 11 for a while
Also, on rereading your post, I'm not sure if you intend to use both WWB and QNEB. I have no experience of using site back on Windows WWB after switching it to Linux QNEB.

Thanks for the replies,
I used the save as function to save as a QNEB project. Apart from the text alignment being all wrong it seemed to work ok. Luckily there is only one page with text at the moment so didn't take too long to sort out.

I am hoping to just use QNEB as I find Windows 11 so frustrating to use. I only ever use it for WWB or when I have to use MS Office for work. Have you found any limitations using QNEB rather than WWB?
Thanks
