EASY Web Site Builder
When I started on the path of Internet Marketing, I wanted to be in control of all aspects of the business. Web Sites would obviously be vital, so I enrolled at my local college to learn the best web design programme; Dreamweaver. 18 months later I reckon I can create 90% of a site, but it takes me ages, and I need help for the remaining 10%.
I have been getting my college lecturer Andy, to visit me at home, and pay him by the hour for everything I am stuck on. There is ALWAYS something I get stuck on. 
Unfortunately this means I am still not in control, I rely on someone else. The flaw in this arrangement was exposed last month. Andy is now working 60 hours a week, so hasn’t got time to help me. OOPS! …..What now?
I resorted to my usual system – I did nothing. 
Last week I realised I was getting nowhere fast, so I researched around forums and found that XSite Pro was highly recommended, and fairly cheap! I bit the bullet and ordered the package. It WAS cheap, and easy to use.
On Monday I followed the beginners lesson, which took an hour – and I had a website created and uploaded!! – I could never have done that with Dreamweaver. However I used a template, and wanted more control. So Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I just played around with the software to see what it could do.
XSite Pro has more features than Dreamweaver, but is really easy to use. By Friday I had my website created and uploaded to the Internet. Here it is; www.popartoilpaintings.com. I reckon I can create a website in a day with this software.
If you are a technophobe and need help, take a look at XSite Pro. (I think they offer a 30 day trial period). This could completely change your business outlook. Good luck!
Hi John,
The software looks awesome. I just had a look at the page and very reasonable priced considering some programs can cost over $500 or more!
I like the one time price license. There are a lot of content management software out there where you have to pay per year etc etc, plus per site. This software looks easy an well worth the money. I will have to look into it more.
I like the site you created.
Good job on finding the product and sharing it!
Kind Regards
Jacinta
Thanks Jacinta. It is really easy software, and I think it's better than Dreamweaver which costs a fortune. Also it has an on-line 'knowledge base' with a search facility. Any time I want to know something I just put the question into the search, and the 'knowledge base' tells me the answer. Sure beats reading a 1,000 page manual from start to finish!

Hi John, Excellent advice! I tried the free trial version of X-Site Pro and I liked it. I’m still using Sea Monkey Composer, free from Mozilla. I also use Notepad++ ( http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php ) Notepad++ is free and it’s an amazing raw HTML editor (and every other language included, i.e. PHP, XML, TXT etc.).
Popartoilpaintings is very cool and looks to have great potential.

Good to know that you like X-Site Pro Steve, as it seems that you've used quite a few programmes. I've only tried Dreamweaver, which I found too complicated. X-Site Pro is really user friendly and intuitive to use - no need to read a manual, just a few plays and you can create a site.
