Graphic design tools missing from Nicepage

Ask a Question

Hello,

I'm not finding similar graphic design tools within Nicepage that most graphic designers utilize in their design work.
When I place elements in boxes (as in the tutorials), they are not resizing properly. Rather, the elements will rearrange within the boxes and mash up. Graphic designers use design software that maintains the position of the elements in a box ( or grouping) and will resize the elements in equal proportion.

I'm looking through the comments and forums and it seems that many of the problems with Nicepage may be related to this issue. Someone with a background in Corel or Adobe is used to working with a set of graphic design tools and a visual workspace that has a minimal number of 'hidden items'. Both of these design software have high functionality due to their intuitive and 'natural appearance' of the workspace.
Nicepage is great for people who want to pre-fab and it has a lot of great potential to offer more. I'm hoping the Nicepage Team will also address some of the needs of graphic designers who prefer to start from their own sketchings and inspirations.

Cheers,
Guy

Hello Guy,

Thanks for your answer.
We have forwarded your comment to the Management.
But before that, I will try to answer your questions.

The purpose of 100vh:
In web development, the unit "vh" stands for viewport height. 100vh represents 100% of the height of the viewport, which is the visible portion of the browser window. Using 100vh as a CSS value allows you to create elements that occupy the full height of the viewport, regardless of the device or screen size. It is commonly used for creating full-screen sections, hero images, or elements that should span the entire height of the screen.

Ideal sizing ratios when cropping images in Corel:
The ideal sizing ratios for cropping images can vary depending on the specific requirements of your design and the aspect ratio you want to achieve. However, there are some commonly used aspect ratios that you can consider:

1:1 (Square): This ratio is often used for social media profile pictures or when you want a symmetrical square crop.
4:3 (Standard): This ratio is commonly used for older television screens and can be a good choice for displaying images in presentations or slideshows.
16:9 (Widescreen): This ratio is widely used for modern screens, including most computer monitors and HD televisions. It is great for displaying images in a wide format.
3:2 (Traditional): This ratio is often used for printed photographs and can provide a more traditional and classic look.
Ultimately, the ideal sizing ratio depends on the specific design context and your preferences. It's a good idea to experiment and see which aspect ratio best suits your needs.

Finding hidden items in Nicepage:
Nicepage provides a visual design interface, and while there may not be specific "wireframe display" or pixel rulers, you can still locate and manage hidden items using the following method:

Outline Mode: Nicepage offers an "Outline Mode" that allows you to view the structure of your design without distractions. You can activate it by clicking on the "Outline" button located in the top toolbar. This mode helps you see the hierarchy of elements and locate hidden items.

By using these techniques, you should be able to locate and manage hidden elements, margins, pads, boxes, grids, or any other items that are not immediately visible on the screen.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

George.

Hello George,

Thanks for explaining the purpose of Nicepage. Your suggestion makes sense and I am using Corel to design elements for Nicepage.

It is most unfortunate the Nicepage Team has never released a printed reference book to provide a depth of information on use of their software. The online Documentation provides a general overview with some online text and YouTube videos which may be adequate for the casual user.

A printed reference book would cover the deeper specifics that are required for power users to understand.
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite has a lot of online documentation and videos just as Nicepage. However, at times I will have to pull out my CorelDRAW Reference Manual to look for a small detail that is missing from the online documentation. The Corel Manual has a lot of visual reference charts that are a great help.

I am finding a good workflow by combining Nicepage with CorelDRAW for website design. But I need to know a lot more about the finer details of Nicepage that I can't find in the online documentation. For instance:

  • what is the purpose of 100vh?
  • what are ideal sizing ratios when cropping images in Corel?
  • How can I find 'hidden items' such as margins, pads, boxes, grids or elements that are not visible on the screen as there are no pixel rulers along the horizontal and vertical edges of the workspace and no 'wireframe display' mode to look underneath everything?

As mentioned, Nicepage is the best web-design software I've used. I'm just indicating here that it has a lot of potential.

Sincerely,

Guy

Hello Guy,

Nicepage is primarily a website builder that focuses on providing easy-to-use tools for creating and designing websites. While it offers various design elements and templates, it may not have the same extensive range of graphic design tools as professional graphic design software.

Here are a few tips and suggestions for working with Nicepage:

Understand the Purpose of Nicepage: Nicepage's primary focus is on website design and development, rather than being a full-fledged graphic design tool. It provides features and functionalities tailored toward creating visually appealing websites, but it may not have the same level of advanced graphic design capabilities as dedicated design software.

Utilize Nicepage's Design Tools: Nicepage does offer design tools and features to help you create visually appealing websites. Explore the available tools such as layout options, typography settings, color schemes, and image editing capabilities to make the most of the design possibilities within Nicepage.

Adapt Your Workflow: If you are used to working with professional graphic design software, you might need to adapt your workflow when using Nicepage. While it may not have the same level of precision or advanced design capabilities, you can still achieve visually pleasing results by leveraging Nicepage's design features and adapting your approach to suit the available tools.
