In my opinion, the shadow tools is a vital part of your web design because it will add life to your website and a sense of realism when a visitor comes to your website. The web design tools in Xara Web Designer are very powerful and with the proper time and effort you can create very realistic illustrations. The wall shadow will make it appear as if an object is sitting on a wall, which could be useful if you are dealing with a portrait that you want to simulate an effect of it being on a wall. If you set your web design objects to have a floor shadow it will make it appear as if the objects are siting on top of something, which could be useful if your are creating some kind of web design illustration. The shadow tool will allow you to give objects a sense of depth, but also the shadow can make objects appear to have a glow affect by changing the settings for the shadow tool.
