Dear all,
i just bought website x pro 13 last night. and i imported my project from evo 12.
website x pro 13 is very good and i love it. but there is a small problem that i didn't find a solution for it.
in the responsive site i would like to add a link in the footer of the page to show the full desktop version of the website.
i look forward to your answer.
regards,
Farhad

In Pro 13 you can have a welcome page which optionally auto detects resolution and I assume (as in Pro 12) you can redirect to the appropriate site. This means you could create a desktop version and a reponsive version in different directories and add the appropriate links so the user can switch between desktop and responsive.
A simpler way
Develop your website as a responsive site, in the header add a link to the desktop view of your site (http://www.yourdomain.co/desktop) and then hide that link for the desktop viewport only. Now save and upload your site as normal. Return to your project, turn off responsive, add a link to the header "reponsive" and link it to the main site, export your site and upload it to the desktop folder in your public_html folder.
However . . .
Such trickery may not be necessary for much longer. I was using Firefox on my smartphone today and it gave the option to request the desktop version of my site (in menu top right). Perhaps other browsers already offer this feature.
Good luck!
Yes, Chrome on Android does the same!
