disenchanted @Randy,

I have used XSP for web page building and also wordpress.

The thing I like about XSP is that you know going in exactly what the cost is.
One price for an entire "suite" of utilities for building webpages.
Since the program was made by one company you don't need to worry that a plug-in from a 3rd party won't play well with the others.
And the program was designed FOR internet marketers and to monetize your website.

I did some wordpress websites and it seemed that it nickled and dimed me to death. By the time I added in all the plug-ins I needed for monetizing the wordpress site I had spent close to the same amount as XSP at retail price.
(NOTE: I realize that every web designer's needs are different.
and in the case of wordpress the plug-ins someone might choose will vary from person to person).

At the sales price here on BDJ it's a pretty decent deal.

Just my .02 cents

Richard Butterworth When you buy XSitePro, same version updates (2.0 - 2.99) are completely free of charge. An update to version 3 would have a charge, but it would be discounted for version 2 customers :)

We are still developing version 2 so there will not be a version 3 released for some time yet.

Nelson Therrien I'm an actual web developer/programmer using Dreamweaver, but your features seems interesting.

My concerns are:
- Accessibility (for visitors) and SEO (i.e. clean code)
- Using CSS for design (i.e. easily change colors, size, etc. with CSS)
- How about French or bilingual sites (ex: I guess the Paypal buttons are all in English... is it easy to change it)
- How about modern technologies, like HTML5 and CSS3
- In the demo, the "mobile" web site seems to be text only... is it just the device or always like that (WAP)?
- I guess we can't use server-side technologies like PHP...

I guess, like many other tools, that it's not suitable for every need... so I just want to know where I stop using that and continue with Dreamweaver...

Nelson Therrien Got a live chat that answered my questions!

But for those of you would would have the same type of questions, here's the transcript of our conversation...

-------------

13:58 John Jones: The website that XSitePro creates are designed to be as compatible with the wide range of web browsers as possible as we do not know what devices your web site visitors will use. :)
For this reason you will be able to create websites for all the Windows browsers, and Macs, and Linux, and mobile cell phone, and web TV's (Play Stations, ITV devices etc), and automated scripts like Googlebot (for inclusion in the Google search engine), and Braille readers, and text to voice readers for the visually impaired.

13:59 John Jones:
XSitePro is designed for the English language only.
It can support other languages as it can produce pages in the UTF-8 character sets.
Right to left pages would need to be pasted in from another editor, or written sdrawkcab (backwards)

You could even set up a website with different language options, for example:
www.mywebsite.com/
www.mywebsite.com/english
www.mywebsite.com/spanish
Not all the buttons and widgets in XSitePro can be edited for other languages.
However the features that can not be changed in XSitePro usually have international versions freely available on the internet that can just be dropped in to your web page. :)

14:00 John Jones: Does that help?

14:00 Nelson Therrien: Yes

14:00 John Jones: Is there anything else I can help you with?

14:00 Nelson Therrien: Is everything done with external (not inline) CSS?

14:01 John Jones: XSitePro does use table quite a bit.

14:01 John Jones: This does not affect SEO.

14:01 John Jones: the CSS code is usually an external file.

14:01 Nelson Therrien: In the video demo, the mobile website is text only: is it always like that (WAP) or was it just that old (palm) device?

14:01 John Jones: You can add inline CSS if you wish.

14:02 John Jones: the mobile wizard doe create WAP code.

14:02 John Jones: There are some issues around mobile web page creating that you will want to be aware of.
This is why I have created a number of knowledgebase articles on this issue:
http://intellimon.helpser...h-xsitepro
http://intellimon.helpser...-questions
http://intellimon.helpser...-web-pages
http://intellimon.helpser...-important
http://intellimon.helpser...ite-wizard

14:03 Nelson Therrien: I guess we can't use server-side code like PHP...

14:03 John Jones: Yes you can. :)

14:03 John Jones: XSitePro is designed to create the web site framework that you can then add your content to.
Usually this content is fixed text and graphics, but by using scripts, you can have dynamic database driven content too.

You can actually add custom scripts into XSitePro with ease. You have these different options:
1) Add script into an individual page using the SOURCE tab. You can flip between the design view and source view whenever you need :)
2) Add script into an individual page by using the 'snippets' tool. You can save a snippet so that you can add it to other pages in seconds.
3) Add script into an individual page by using the advanced page settings. This allows you to add script to the different HTML sections, for example; the very start of the file, the HEAD section, the end of the BODY section etc..
4) Add script to every page in your XSitePro with one setting. This is very useful for adding Google analytics and other tracking scripts. You can access this feature by going to the Other tab and selecting 'Global Scripts'.

We have a video on adding custom scripts that may help you here:
http://www.xsitepro.com/c...tware.html

.. and you can find the manual section on this here:
http://www.xsitepro.com/h...design.htm
http://www.xsitepro.com/h...design.htm

14:04 John Jones: Does that help?

14:04 Nelson Therrien: Great! this tells me the kind of site that I can use it with... One last thing: do you have any example, so I can look at the final code?

14:05 John Jones: As XSitePro is client-side software, we don't get to see anyone's finished work, unless they tell us about it.
However, if you take a look on our forum, many of our customers do post asking for critique on their new websites.
Here's a thread regarding the same: http://xsitepro.com/messa...php?t=9869

You'll find links to lots of sites from here.
As you can see from our own website at http://www.xsitepro.com - the possibilities are endless with Version 2 of XSitePro!

You can also have a look at our resent competition winners :)

14:06 Nelson Therrien: Thanks a lot John, I'll surely take a look at that!

14:06 John Jones: No Problem! :)

14:06 John Jones: Is there anything else I can help you with?

14:06 Nelson Therrien: No, thanks... Will the window stay open, so I can take a look at all the links?

14:07 John Jones: You may want to copy and paste to notepad. :)

14:07 John Jones: I will leave the chat open for a few minutes.

14:07 Nelson Therrien: OK, I'll use the email button :)

Trucker Randy Martin - There is other great programs to build websites, Serif is one of them and it has the same kind of GUI as the XSitePro, but to a much lower price.

Karl M. I'm a customer for many years now but honestly I'm using it no more. It has some reasons of course why I'm not using it any more.

It's kind of outdated, has some flaws etc.

Regarding next version 3: I don't think there will ever be a version 3. It took years for version 2 to to get off the starting blocks and all customers needed a lot of patience.

Sorry

Ed Ward For those looking for (i) an easy to use but (ii) fully featured, robust platform, I can recommend Website Realizer. I purchased when it was last offered on Bits du jour, compared to others, and have found it to be remarkably powerful. I am not a professional programmer, don't know (or wish to learn) HTML, but also wanted to be able to program my own site (50-60 pp.) and have it look professional, etc.

When I did have questions, the developer has also been very responsive. You can find WR at http://www.websiterealizer.com/ - full price is $59.95 but well worth it.

Most remarkable (which I didn't realize until after purchasing) the developer provides a 150 pp. manual, with videos embedded that literally illustrate step-by-step how to do certain tasks.

Ralph Bressler I am about to go to bed. Too bad the questions posed to the developer could not be answered before the deadline or before my bedtime!

Due to the overwhelming response Intellimon has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy!

Richard Butterworth The extra bonus templates and clipart packs are included in the purchase.

This bonus pack of 50 templates is the perfect addition to the 200+ templates that are included with XSitePro 2.5.

These are variations of some of the built-in graphical templates. Variations include different color schemes, graphics, backgrounds, etc.

XSitePro 2.5 comes with over 4,000 images, and the bonus Image Pack will add an additional 9,000. These aren’t your typical cheesy clipart images at all. Instead we’ve concentrated on images that are appropriate for Internet marketers and online business. In this collection you’ll find arrows, credit card logos, PayPal graphics, buy now buttons, download buttons, and thousands of other professional quality and highly relevant graphics. Gone will be the days where you had to spend hours hunting around to find the right graphic...

Richard Butterworth Karl. Version 3 of XSitePro is something that will happen. We are still developing version 2 so there will not be a version 3 released for some time yet but this is something that will be released.

Karl M. Version 3 of XSitePro is something that will happen.

Richard, yes it may happen. But when? XSitePro isn't a freeware where users have no right to ask for improvements and further development. Your company overtaxed at least my patience.

Richard Butterworth Hi Karl. We know you may be eager for a new release but we are still developing version 2 of XSitePro so the release of version 3 will be some time away yet.

We will keep you up to date with the latest information on the launch of version 3 as soon as we have it.

If you have any other questions or I can help in any other way please do not hesitate to ask.

Captain B Does this program create a single file for a multiple-page web site (and then break this up into individual html pages at the time of publishing)? In other words, to what extent can a web site built with XSitePro later be edited with another tool eg Dreamweaver?

May 18 2012 at 7:55am Copy Link

Richard Butterworth Hi Larry,

Thanks for your question and interest in XSitePro.

XSitePro creates flat html files so yes it is totally possible to build a website with XSitePro and then later edit it in Dreamweaver if you wanted.

I hope this helps answer your question and if I can be of further assistance please let me know.

We look forward to welcoming you to the XSitePro community real soon Larry :)
