I started our web development efforts in 1999 using FrontPage. At the time, I didn’t know anything about html or web coding, and FrontPage was a good WYSIWYG tool for creating web sites relatively quickly.

It didn’t take long, however, for FrontPage to show its weaknesses. Creating new pages, dealing with navigation structure, adding external code such as PHP scripts, and many other tasks are more convoluted than necessary. And don’t get me started about the crazy non-standard html produced by FrontPage.

New — hear XsitePro compared to two other web-creation tools!

But the most frustrating part of FrontPage was the failure of promise of the server side extensions.  Server side extensions should have allowed easy site updating without FTP among other things. Despite hosting sites on several different servers through the years, the bugs in FrontPage or the extensions made making changes to the sites on the servers an exercise in futility.

Many times, I would be forced to uninstall the extensions and reinstall just to get the sites working again – and often this would mean losing formatting throughout the site.

It got so that creating new sites and updating our old ones was such a chore that my affiliate marketing and niche site activities ground to a halt.

Enter XsitePro.  In 2005, I discovered XsitePro.  XsitePro is a web site creation tool designed for beginners but with powerful features that allows very quick creation of niche sites.

XsitePro does so many things well that it is hard to know where to begin.  Changing the layout of a site is a breeze. Creating new pages is incredibly easy – and XsitePro provides a simple summary screen for each page which allows you to add or edit title, description and keyword tags.

You can easily import a folder full of text or html files using the import wizard – a must if you have purchased private label articles from a membership site or have otherwise outsourced article writing. This tool alone is worth the price!

Entering Adsense or affiliate links is incredibly easy. XsitePro comes with tools for saving your Adsense settings and for keeping track of all the affiliate programs you join. Inserting such links is simply a matter of right clicking and using the context sensitive menu.

Saving and inserting “snippets” of code works similarly.   Snippets, once saved in your snippets library, are available no matter what site you are working on.

I like XsitePro so much that I am converting all my old sites as fast as possible to XsitePro and am using it for all new sites, except the ones I am creating using Wordpress (more about that in another post). 

I could go on and on – suffice it to say that if you are actively developing niche or affiliate sites, you should give XsitePro a try.
