Software for Web Design: XSitePro 2 Review
XSite Pro 2: the Easy to Use Webpage Design Software from Intellimon
Jul 19, 2009
XSite Pro 2 by Intellimon is a software package for creating “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG) webpages and websites. Unlike other WYSIWYG web design software, XSite Pro 2 is aimed in particular at online affiliate marketers and web-based businesses, and offers the user a search-engine friendly method for generating web pages quickly and easily with no prerequisite knowledge of HTML, CSS or other scripting languages.
XSite Pro 2 achieves ease of use through its simple interface and an effective template-based design structure. The user loads an XSite Pro template into the software, then uses the easy to use interface tools to modify the visual aspects of the template, such as the color scheme and the navigational layout of the webpage.
XSite Pro Templates
XSite Pro 2 ships with hundreds of templates, though the majority of these templates are effectively clones of a root design that incorporates a different color scheme or a slightly different layout. However, the core templates on which all other templates are based are varied, and of a high quality, being easy to navigate and optimized for search engines.
While XSite Pro 2 allows the user to start with a blank website to create their own XSite Pro templates, the strength of the software lies in the speed with which a website can be designed and launched using the existing templates and modifying them to meet any website design needs.
XSite Pro 2 Price and Pledges
XSite Pro 2 normally retails for $297, which is comparable to Dreamweaver CS4. However, at the time of writing, XSite Pro 2 is available from the XSite Pro website for a reduced price of $197. The Xsite Pro 2 software consists of the software, an XSite Pro 2 tutorial ebook, an Essentials Guide ebook, and a comprehensive tools manual over a 1000 pages in length detailing every aspect of the program. Also included with XSite Pro 2 are:
- Over 250 XSite Pro web templates that can be used out of the box as the basis for a website, or altered within XSite Pro 2 to meet any additional functional requirements.
- 9000 web-optimized professional quality graphic images, appropriate for internet businesses and online marketers.
- A 30 day money-back guarantee.
- 90 days of software support, without cost to the customer.
- A 24-hour support ticket pledge. The XSite Pro support team guarantee to reply to any support queries within 24 hours during the working week, or will donate $100 to the support ticket holder's favorite charity.
Support and advice concerning web design is also offered on the XSite Pro 2 forums.
Niche Software for Niche Web Design
XSite Pro 2 is not really appropriate for users who wish to create a personal website with a complex visual design, as without major scripting alterations, none of the provided XSite Pro templates provide an individual look. For designing personal websites, other web design software, such as Dreamweaver, should be considered.
However, for creating online business marketing websites and affiliate landing pages, XSite Pro 2 excels. The purpose of XSite Pro 2 is to create clean optimized webpages designed to be easily navigable and search engine friendly. For online marketers who have neither web design skills or the time or inclination to learn them, XSite Pro 2 offers an easy to learn solution to effective webpage design and management.
