Hi to all,

It's a question I've been wanting to ask for a while but kept forgeting. I have a site made from xsitepro which I am thinking off flipping but don't know how to this because it was done using xsitepro.

Is it possible??

    Hi JWT

    I have done this in the past, and simply exported the files to HTML format, so anyone can edit them.

    Export to html, and export a xsite version. When you sell the site include both options and take a minute to explain how dang easy xsitepro is. Include your affiliate link and offer to give them xx dollars if they pick up.

    The html versions are just fine to work with - just xsitepro is faster.

      I believe there is a function in there to export to dreamweaver.

      What I would do is just offer to buy the buyer a new copy of XsitePro with the purchase.

      Simple way:

      Make a folder on your computer with the site title

      I'm using xsp version 1 but probably the same thing in V2. Open site in xsp, to go Publish tab and click on "tools". "Publish locally" downloads an html version of the site. Just create a folder for it and then publish the files into that folder.

      Takes 5 seconds or so.

      This is for XSitePro 2...

      From the Project Selection Tree (the page with all your projects/sites listed in the left column) select the site you want to export.

      Click the Edit button. Once the site has loaded you go to Tools | Export to Frontpage/Dreamweaver.

      Select where on your computer you want the files exported to and click OK.

      XSitePro does the rest.

      Good luck!

        OK, I've exported to dreamweaver and saved to a new folder I created. Just to check it's gone ok I opened the up the folder and inside that there is an images file, script file, footer menu (cascading style sheet menu), google sitemap (XML document), left menu (cascading etc), robots (text document), styles (cascading etc) and then files for all of my designed webpages ie seperate product review pages, index, privacy, disclaimer which have a large blue e next to the file names. This is all present and correct right?

        If I do sell the site, will I just have to send the new owner the whole folder as one and then they just load up each individual page on their HTML editor and then redirect the site to their DNS?

        Thanks guys for all your help.

        John.

          Sounds like you exported the site correctly.

          When you sell the site you give the buyer the folder with all those files in it. Then they simply upload the complete folder to their server and they are good to go.

          Good luck selling the site!

            Also give the buyer the exported Xsitepro file. I bought a site that was advertised "build with xsp" several years ago and the seller sent me only an html folder with those files.

            To work on the site in xsp I needed the xsp file, too. So include that in case your buyer uses xsp.
