WebPlus X2 Website Maker

This product is wonderful. Some knowledge of how websites works helps. The manual is not overly detailed, so some things you kind of have to play around with or go to the product's actual website for help. Overall, it has all the features I had been looking for and it is very easy to use. I am very satisfied and you CANNOT beat the quality for the price.

WebPlus X2 is an amazingly powerful, if eccentric, site-building program, and an incredible bargain at Amazon's current price. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I'm constantly being pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and the depth of the options. The individual features are way too elaborate to address here; one can download a full manual from Serif's site to get a sense of the full scope of the program. If you're a raw beginner, prepare to put in a lot of work before you can take full advantage of the software. But if you give it time, you'll be rewarded. The combination of the enclosed printed manual and the help files are very well-produced, and don't make any unwarranted assumptions about the skill levels of the user. About that eccentricity: An important thing to understand about WebPlus is that in many respects it's more like a desktop publishing program than a traditional WYSIWYG web page creation program. You specify a page width and depth, ... Read more

Easy to import pictures or tables. Great for beginners and advanced users. Making actual HTML code changes are a little more difficult that I wished, but that's minor. Have an uploaded website running in a day!

You no longer need to spend hundreds to create a good looking site with the modern features. I purchased this software about a year ago after using Namo WebEditor for years. In general I like the software. You can create web pages fairly easily, but, just like all software, there is a learning curve. If you have used other web editing programs, you can't easily jump in and start working. For me, it was unlearning some things, because WP X2 works differently than Web Editor. In Web Editor, you create and save pages in html format. In WebPlus, you create pages (and the site) in their format and it only converts when you publish the site. Other things work a bit differently, as well. Tables, for example, manipulate a bit differently than in most programs. To create a new page in WE you can't just open a new blank page and start working. In WP X2 you have to create a "master page" first, even if it is a blank master. It comes with quite a few templates, but I can't comment on t... Read more

I bought this one for price and something that was WYSIWYG. Some friends and I developed the website, [...] easily and quickly. We are still learning the ins and outs of the program. Yes there is a learning curve but isn't that the way with most new software products anyway. Very powerful program for the money. I know some coding but not a lot. I couldn't just sit there and program, I think it would be time consuming and aggravating. This is a good product with templates and other built in items a person may need for their business.
