Product Review: XSite Pro
Everyone Gets “XSite’d” with XSitePro!
There’s a buzz floating around the internet about a new web design software called XSitePro. Its target market? Affiliate marketers.
While I dabble in affiliate marketing, it is not my main focus, so at first glance I didn’t think this program would be for me. However, my nine-year-old son, Matthew, was working on developing his own site, and I didn’t have the time to create it for him, nor did I have time to sit there and teach him the basics of FrontPage. He’s nine. I never thought this idea he had would come to fruition, but here he came with not only research, but excitement.
I began to look for a way he could build a site on his own. I once used a really great site builder through InternetBasedFamily.com, but the monthly fee was on the pricey side – more than I wanted to invest in my nine-year-old’s venture. For all I know, this site idea could be like last year’s wrestling. He was all geared up about it, so I went out and invested all this money in a singlet, shoes, and head gear. He never finished the season. It just wasn’t his thing, and now we have all this wrestling gear that we’ll never use again.
I went back to look at XSitePro. I watched the “7 Reasons Why You Need XSitePro Now!” video, and the program looked easy enough to use. I liked the fact that you could use their templates or build your own. I liked that if you wanted to change the layout of the page, you can do it in one place and have it change all your pages for you.
I downloaded the free trial and told Matthew to check it out. I printed out the user’s manual that included easy, step-by-step instructions and screen shots and let him play. Sure he had questions, but in the end he had a nine page website built just by going through the tutorial. What’s even better? He had nine optimized pages. He doesn’t know about targeted keywords, but I can help him with that later on.
XSitePro is a very simple program to use. To add an article page, simply click on “Add Article” and a box pops up for you to add your title, description, resource box, and any other additional information you have. Click okay, copy and paste your article, and voila! You have an article page. XSitePro even indexes them on your main page and automatically creates a site map for you, as well.
The same is true for product pages – very simple forms to fill out and the page is created for you. No html or design skills required.
Matthew can even add Google AdSense to his pages with out copying and pasting code. He simply right clicks, selects “insert Google AdSense”, chooses the color scheme and size of his ads, and hits okay.
After I saw how easy it was to use, and knowing that I could still put this program to use if his online venture falls by the wayside, I invested in XSitePro. Matthew now works on his site every night. I tinkered with it and put up a 45-page, content-based site in 3 hours.
There are two types of people for whom I would recommend XSitePro: affiliate marketers and those who have little web design experience but would like to set up a site of their own. It is half the cost of Dreamweaver and ten times easier to use. The best feature of this program? It comes with a 365-day money-back guarantee. You have a whole year to decide if you’ve made a wise investment. I didn’t need a year, only a few hours, and now I’m XSite’d about the many things I can do with this program in the future.
And let’s be honest…if a nine-year-old can operate it, so can you!
