It's not very often I get excited about a software program, but today I'm so excited I just had to tell you about Xsitepro, the top tool for Internet marketers. In particular, those who have been using Html applications programs like Dreamweaver and Frontpage to yield their Internet media will find this schedule revolutionary in that it can at least halve your time for site development.
In 1996 while learning a Master's degree in multimedia and online learning I learnt about Html which seemed like a backward step after using and teaching word processing and programming in Pascal and Dbiii+ (do you remember these?). Ms Word and Wordperfect, even Multimate, were light years ahead of this Html stuff. I remembered wondering why on earth anything would invent a programming language so uncomplicated and so time provocative to format. Shortly after, I was to find out why it was kept uncomplicated and I stumbled across Dreamweaver and Frontpage Html generators. For years I've used both programs to yield my Html email templates and Internet site pages.
I've come to be fairly proficient using either, but as I have a preference for Dreamweaver, I've used that most often. In fact, just while the last few weeks I upgraded my site adding further links, changing the banner heading, putting in some jump menus and commonly production it more user friendly. Just after I concluded a colleague brought my attention to the most innovative, useful, purpose-built software for Internet marketers I have ever seen - Xsitepro. And I've seen and purchased dozens.
After reading every word of the sales blurb and watching the on site video "7 Reasons Why You Need Xsitepro", I decided I had to get a copy. As I usually do, I give software a good test run before the trial period or guarantee runs out and if it's not convenient I uninstall it and ask a refund.
No repayment here. Xsitepro was easy to download and installed without a hitch. It comes with an exquisite tutorial and an broad user manual in Adobe Pdf format, both of which are accessible from the Help menu. After working through the short tutorial, which steps you through construction a site for an optometrist's store, it was very uncomplicated to get the schedule up and running. The user interface consists of tabs in a logical arrangement from left to right; start a project, enter the website article and keywords, scheme name, copyright data and any notes and click the next tab headed 'Page Layout'. Here, as the name suggests, you set up your accepted page layout dimensions, graphics, menu and other features. It's a cinch.
In the next tab, 'Web Pages' you enter your content in much the same way as you use a word processor - it's all what-you-see-is-what-you-get (wysiwyg) and very easy ... Point and click for font sizes, to embolden, underline and so on.
Now, I have to tell you, I was blown away by the sheer common sense thought behind this schedule (Why didn't I think of it?). It does approximately all an Internet marketer could want quickly, efficiently and professionally. If, like me, you are creating some sites selling different products or services and you intend to originate numbers of further sites, this is a product that will save you so much time you'll wonder what to do with yourself.
Some of the exquisite time-saving features included in Xsitepro are:
- An affiliate link storage installation so that when you want to place an affiliate link you just right click and adopt and bingo, the link is in place
- Point and click to install Google AdSense advertisement codes
- Automatically break a long page into complicated pages and place navigation
- Install a breadcrumb menu (obviously named after the Hansel and Gretel fable) that shows users where they are eg, Home -> Services -> Tooth Pulling and allows them to click on links to return to old pages
- Automatically originate site maps in alphabetical or hierarchical view or links pages
- Search engine optimization
- Templates for articles, sales and product pages
... And much, much more.
This schedule has you creating complicated sites within hours and publishing them using the Ftp interface included. All of the graphics and linked files are settled in a portfolio so you don't have to hunt for them later.
On the downside, if there is one, it takes a while to adapt to the way of working in Xsitepro. For example, working in tables in Xsitepro is quite different from working in tables with Dreamweaver. But, when you work out the differences you can move along quickly building, resizing, placing borders, colouring and inserting or deleting tables. The schedule has exquisite flexibility and nothing has been missed.
I was disappointed with the amount of typos and other errors in the manual which were more numerous than I would have anticipated of such an exquisite program, but it didn't detract from the instructional value of the content and is something that will no doubt be rectified in a time to come upgrade. It had all the appearances of being rushed together to meet a publishing deadline.
The price for Xsitepro surprised me by being much lower than I thought could reasonably be expensed for such a top application. And with the price come numbers of free upgrades.
If you are doing what many Internet marketers are - together with me - and construction complicated streams of income using stand-alone themed sites, Xsitepro will be the best speculation you could make to build and grow your business.
This is a once-in-a-million software schedule that is set to change the face of Internet marketing. The thought is both great and remarkably simple.
