Let me start at the beginning. A couple of months ago I won a copy of XSitePro. I’ve been building websites since 1998 or 99. Taught myself html and the whole thing. I’m pretty good at building websites, or at least I thought I was. I have tried a few website builder programs in the last few years but to be honest, they didn’t really do anything special. No matter how hard I worked at them, my sites looked pretty basic and didn’t come up to what I feel a truly professional website should look like.

A couple of weeks ago I started playing around with XSitePro. All I can say is WOW! I watched their training videos that walked me through building a site. Talk about easy, this program really seemed easy. But I’m sort of a skeptic and the thing that kept nagging at me was, how hard would it be to build a site from scratch? So that’s what I set out to do. I had a domain that I had bought with only a general idea of what I was going to do with so that’s what I decided to use.

After thinking about what I wanted the site to be, and pulling together a variety of content for it, it was time to get started.

In a matter of a couple hours I had built a professional looking website with 27 pages of content, including several articles, resource pages, some press releases, a privacy policy and even a sitemap. When I was finished putting it together, XSitePro uploaded it to my server and it was live. More importantly than that, anyone looking at it would think that a professional web designer had spent days building it.

I’m convinced that XSitePro is by far the best website design program on the market. It doesn’t just make a static website, it makes a true internet 2.0 website. In fact, here’s just some of the things you can do with just a few clicks of the mouse.

• Change the look (template) of your site without having to change any of your pages.
• Add audio or video files.
• Add Google Adsense.
• Add Amazon products.
• Set up an RSS feed.
• Make a mobile site so people can view your site on their phone.
• Add content with an RSS feed reader
• Easily change the colors of your site, and so much more.

If you build a lot of websites, or just want to build your own site rather than paying someone else to build it for you, I strongly recommend that you purchase a copy of XSitePro. I’m so impressed with it that if you look over to the side, you’ll notice I’ve put up an advertisement for it. I’m rather picky about what ads I allow on my site but I had no qualms at all about putting that one up.

To be honest with you, I wouldn’t expect you to go buy it just based on my recommendation so here’s what I recommend.  Visit the XSitePro website and read about it. In fact, there’s a video on the site that really showcases what XSiteProwill do. I think you’ll be as impressed as I am.
