Anyone here using XSitepro 2?

I downloaded the free trial of version 2, but I cant stand the templates. They all have stupid looking and detracting graphics at the top of the page. I just want a normal blank template, and I think they have them in version 1. Anyone know if that version is available?

        I cant find these at all, they have "blank" templates, but they really arent blank, they still have some graphics at the top.

        I've not used it for ages though because I discovered Wordpress and just find that much better and easier to use.

        Yeah Ive been using wordpress for a couple of months now and I agree its a great tool....just wanted to try this one out and compare.

    Version 2 is just like version 1, except a million times better and with loads more stuff lol.

    You can start off with a blank template when you click 'add site' button.

    I bought v1 when it first came out way back when, and upgraded several months ago now. I have to say, v2 is a massive improvement

    Yes, the templates are quite strange or even confronting. I hardly ever use one. But for the rest I´m satisfied with it.

      I have used xsite since '08 and version 2 is better, but xsite pro does not handle too many tables, I constantly battle with it putting in extra <br> everywhere.

      But it is a easy to use tool for simple sites

        XSitePro is a WYSIWYG program, so like all of these programs there can be little things added that you wouldn't think. I personally haven't had a problem with this however I've seen someone mention it in there forum.

        How many tables are you adding?

        I think the templates are a great starting point. My fav thing about Xsp is starting with a blank site, because you already have the framework!

    The templates, once you understand how they work,
    are not hard to customize at all. I usually start with a template
    and sometimes eventually edit it almost out of existence as
    my ideas for the site's look develop. You can start with
    a blank too, and even build up your own templates from
    parts of other templates. This isn't something you will grasp
    in a day - but with a simple graphics editor like Paint.net and
    Xsite Pro you can do a lot with fixed-width sites without
    knowing much about code. It helps with SEO too, does
    your site map and so forth.

    It's the fastest way I know of making a quick landing page, but it takes some work to make it look really slick.

      xSitePro 2 has been great for me. For guys who don't know almost anything about HTML and website building, like myself, it is a real life saver.

        How true,
        I started out with Version 1 and later upgraded to version 2.
        The funny thing is, for the longest time I resisted learning how to put up a blog with WordPress.

        Now, I do nearly all my sites with WordPress.
        This does not in any way mean the XSite Pro is not a good software.

          I use Xsitepro for some offline businesses and they love the end results. The templates are a bit from the 1990's so I use a designer to provide me with a template which I add content to.

          I pay $99 for the template and charge it out at $199 minimum so that is not a problem.
