Xsite Pro

I havent used it but I prefer WP. I would imagine either is fine as long as the user is familiar with the setup...but in general I have heard that both are easy to use...once agian, probably based on what that particular user is familiar with.

I found it challenging to move Xsite Pro sites to a new server. Vowed to never use the software again.

I used Xsite Pro when I was freelancing a while ago. I would avoid - other solutions are much better.

XSite Pro is a powerful website development tool, that creates stunning websites in pretty short time.
It's good for beginners, but if you want a really good and unique page ... than you should probably talk to a web designer to build it for you from scratch.

XSitePro is the bee's knees for SEO optimization and lightning fast page loading.

I'd agree with other comments that WP sites may index faster for some people (probably because of the auto-pinging) but a properly designed XSP site sticks much better and with very little maintenance. Not so much with WP (unless you use pages instead of posts). But even then, XSP still seems to be stickier.

Also, I have yet to see any WP site open as an XSP site and load time is definitely a factor in Google.

Not even sure why someone would want the added aggravation of combining WP and XSP on the same site, just use XCommentPro (no DB headaches) plus a ton of standard features. But hey, if WP works for you then use it.

Backups in XSP are also dead simple with your sites always at your fingertips (even when offline).

You don't even need an internet connection while building your sites as the WYSIWYG previewer shows you exactly what it will look like.

Haven't seen XSP 2.5 yet, but if it's an improvement on 2.0, I'll definitely be upgrading.
