Any reviews on these? Comparisons?

If I am correct I think XsitePro does NOT produce wordpress websites?

Any other programs that are comparable to these, I have Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, but am interested in maybe buying a program that is helps to design faster.

Is it possible to produce minisites with Aristeer for Wordpress, not just a blog?

    Artisteer:

    this, from my runs on the demo looks and is a great app. excellent for quickly and easily develop themes for: Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, ASP.NET Site templates, and company home pages .... It is very intuitive in it's design and functionality.

    I have not personally used Xsitepro. but i don't think it does themes for WP.

    if i was to make a choice between the two, i would go for Artisteer. Check it out further, download and try the demo.

    As for if it can do mini sites for WP, not sure. It is more a Theme creation package than a mini site maker, but i could be wrong.

      I was thinking if it (Artisteer) could do the basic web page, header and footer and the content areas, then maybe I could just take out the coding in between thats not needed to simplyfy it, and replace the header and footer images, I am pretty good with html, and not great at all with php, I learn fast though, any ideas?

    I have both Xsitepro and Artisteer and use both of them. Xsitepro does not create wordpress themes. Artisteer does Wordpress, HTML, Drupal, Joomla.

    IMHO they both work great for creating websites (Xsite) and blog sites (Artisteer).

    You can create minisites and it would work fine with Artisteer on the WP platform. You can eliminate all of the sidebars/pages in artisteer and just have pages only. I created a new theme last night in about 30 minutes and it took this long because I was not sure which design and functionality I wanted to have with it.

    I'm using Artisteer for making WP themes and it seems to work great for producing basic themes quickly. It is pretty much a point and click operation.
