I have taken over the admin of the website http://www.rnli-thurrock.org.uk/ the issue I have is that I have not got the original files to be able to update it. Is there a way that I can get hold of them to edit?
Thanks in Advance

Hello Brett,
Unfortunately your only option would be to try and get in touch with the person who originally built the site and was in possession of the WebSite X5 project files... and hopefully they will still have them!
I'm afraid there is no way of importing raw HTML, etc. from the web into WebSite X5 - the software generates code only. You can, however, import the project file (commonly referred to as an IWZIP file) if you can locate it somehow.
You will also obviously need a copy of the WebSite X5 software itself. It appears that your website was built using version 13, so any version from Evolution 13 onwards would work.
Kind regards,
Paul

Hi Brett!
Looking at the website, I'd recommend you rebuild the site anyhow with the latest version of X5.
There is not so much content, you can get text over with copy & paste and save the pictures from the life site and reinsert them.
The page is not responsive and would deserve a more modern look and feel... :-)
Best regards,
Dieter
Check if you could edit it by other html wysiwyg programm. Some time ago i did it in one website by Polish programm Pajączek.
Hello Brett
If you can get a iwzip file of the project, then you could start from there. This would be the esasiest and quickest.
If not - then as Dieter suggest, you have a good oppurtunity to make the site from scratch. This should not take many hours if you are familiar with the program. If you are not experienced with the X5, this will be a good way to to get it to know.
Install X5.
Copy the whole site from web, to a folder on your PC. You now have the images and files you need. The text you can copy from the browser. Copy and Insert the text into a program like Notepad++. Copy the text from there and insert into the new project. ( this could be needed to remove unwanted "code" ).
It should be possible to make a site with a much more nice and modern look.
