XSite Pro : Warp Drive Web Design

I want to tell you about my most favourite tool and if you make web pages then it may well become yours too. It's called XSite Pro. It isn't a free tool but it's not as expensive as accounting software either. Now this is one web editor and site maker that I do understand! XSite Pro is also releasing a major update soon and they want everyone to know that if you buy it now their upgrade will be free for you. Not unfortunately for Genie as she bought it a while ago.

This software is a WYSIWYG web editor with a design view and a html view - so in design, what you see is what you get! Literally. On the design page when you do a preview it shows you what your page will look like with easy CSS. In a separate area you can see your CSS in action and play with it until it looks as good as it gets. No more struggling with change this font - change this colour - which line am I on - which bit will this affect - you don't have to guess anymore. Each change is magically rendered so you can see what it looks like.

It does have a bug or two but nothing nasty. One thing that irks Genie is the fact that it publishes everything, including images, into one folder - no relative to location option. Hopefully this new version will fix that. You may need to update a frames thing from microsoft to use it - but if I can do it, so can you! Believe me - it's worth it. Once you use it, you'll wonder how you ever managed to get anything done before - it saves so much time and creates the best results.

You can install directly to your site by publishing. Tables are easy, it has neat graphical boxes and linking between pages is as easy as pie. Why is pie easy - it takes ages to make a pie!

XSite Pro has storage areas where you can easily retrieve snippets of code and affiliate links and if you enter your adsense id in, it will insert it into the blocks you've chosen and then - if you click on the blocks you can change the font and background colours of them easily.

It automatically creates a site map and a robots doc and breadcrumbs and you can insert a javascript on every page with a global feature. You can create redirect pages, a links page, a privacy page - and it will seo your pages and advise you on optimisation with reports.

It's the best thing since sliced bread - now that one I understand!

You wish to get in now before the price hike ?
Making your wishes come true.
Genie
