Frequently Asked Questions

Credits are the virtual currency used in the Marketplace. If you have enough credits, you can download new Templates and Optional Objects while you are working with WebSite X5, without leaving the program: all the purchased items are available immediately for use in your Projects.

Credits have been used with WebSite X5 since version 11. If you have a licence for a previous version, and you want to update it, go to Your Offers.

You can buy credit packs in the Marketplace. The more credits there are in a pack, the more money you save.

To buy Credits in the Marketplace, create an account and then log in to visit the My Credits page.

Credits must be activated before they can be used.

It's simple to activate Credits: when you buy a Credit pack, you'll receive an email with a licence code. Copy this code, login into our Help Center and go to the My Credits page: paste the code into the Activate a Credit pack section and click on the Activate button.

You can use Credits to buy new Templates and new Optional Objects. The version you use depends on the type of resource:

• WebSite X5 Template: these are mini websites, with complete graphics, style sheets and sample pages. When you buy one of these, you will find it in the template list avaiable in the software.
• Optional Objects: when you buy an Optional Object, it is automatically added to those already included in WebSite X5. You'll find them in the Licensed category of the list of available Objects in the Object Management window.

If you don't see the Template or Optional Object that you have bought, click on the Update button to update the list.

Everything you need for buying, activating and managing your credits are in the My Credits page, which you can go to after logging in from the Help Center/Marketplace.

In this page you'll find your active Credit balance, the statement of the packs you have activated and your orders.

Yes, Credits are valid for 365 days from the date of activation. If you purchase more than one Credit pack, the oldest Credits are detracted first. The Credits Summary table (on the My Credits page) shows both the activation date and the expiry date of your Credits, so you can keep everything under control.

You can request a refund for complete Credit packs within 30 days of purchase. However, if you have used some Credits from a Credit pack, the remaining Credits cannot be refunded.

We want your website to be beautiful! That's why we keep adding new templates to WebSite X5 or in the Marketplace. Some are free, others are on sale.

All the new WebSite X5 templates that you see in the Marketplace are available for sale and/or as a free download.

WebSite X5 Templates can only be purchased with Credits and can only be used with the WebSite X5 software and not with any other product or service.

When you buy and/or download one of the WebSite X5 Templates from our Marketplace, you get a real mini website, with complete graphics, style sheets and sample pages

In other words, you get a project file (a .IWZIP file) complete with:

• a custom Graphic Template
• original graphic contents in the header/footer
• a Sitemap with at least 5 pages (for example, the Homepage, Services, Prices, Contacts, About us) or a single page divided into different sections (for example a One-page website) with a predefined page layout that includes:
  • dummy text (e.g. Lorem Ipsum) with styles applied to it
  • sample images (check the paragraph about image licences)
  • multimedia objects (e.g. contact forms, a map in the contact page, photo gallery, etc.).

When you have imported the project file into WebSite X5, you can add your own content and customize it as you wish: then you'll be ready to go online with your new website.

A WebSite X5 Template is, therefore, the perfect choice if you need to create a new website. It gives you an excellent starting point: you'll save time and great results are guaranteed.

When you buy one of the WebSite X5 Templates from the Marketplace, you will receive an email with the order details. After having started the software, you will find the Template you just purchased in the available template list in the Licensed category of the Template selection window.

No. It's up to you to decide. When we create a Template, we try to make it as interesting as possible, and so we use the Objects that we think are the best choice. You may find that a Template you are interested in has some Optional Objects that you haven't installed. If you decide to buy the Template, you can decide whether to buy the Optional Objects as well or replace them with other ones that you already have while you are working on your project.

The WebSite X5 templates that can be freely downloaded don't have any particular limits on use. You can use them for all the websites you want, including those you create for other people.

WebSite X5 Templates, whether freely downloaded or purchased, cannot be resold directly. It is, however, possible to use a Template for creating a complete website that will be sold to a client.

If you are a web designer, use one of our WebSite X5 Templates to create a website and sell the complete service to your client.

For further information, please refer to the Terms anf Conditions of Use of WebSite X5 Templates.

This message usually appears if the Template was created with a version that is different to the latest version of your software.

A convertible Template is one that was created with an earlier version of the software and has been made compatible with the version of your software. You can use the template anyway: WebSite X5 will convert it automatically the first time it is imported.

Remember that some settings may vary from what you see in the Live Preview of the template in the Marketplace you may need to intervene to restore them. Contact our technical support team if you need any help.
