Manufacturer's Description
A website in 5 steps:

The WebSite X5 secret is that it doesn’t force you to waste time learning complex software, you just follow 5 steps. Each step has been custom designed to make it easy to get truly professional results with the minimum of fuss. There’s no need to pay a website design company when you have WebSite X5. Now you can become a website guru!

1. Choose your Design

With over 1,400 templates, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding on the look of your website. Each template has been professionally designed and is easily customisable to make your website unique, all without the fuss of having to learn to be a graphic designer. Even power users can benefit from WebSite X5. It’s the perfect tool for quickly creating professional website templates before making using of the built-in image, table, text effects and HTML editors. WebSite X5 even provides for the creation of an unlimited number of pages and an unlimited number of websites!

2. Layout your Website

WebSite X5 is designed to cope with everything from a single ‘hello world’ web page, to a complex site filled with hundreds of highly detailed pages. The intelligent website layout features make organising your site simple. Group similar pages into one of four levels, these are then automatically converted into the website menus. WebSite X5 also intelligently manages your website. Features such as the automatic sitemap generator makes your website easy to use for visitors and easy for Internet search engines to find.

3. Enter your Content

WebSite X5 includes a unique content entry system. The object palette supplies intelligent tools for entering every type of web page content - words, pictures, tables, animations, video, slide shows and much more. The content layout tool divides each page into content zones, onto which you drag and drop your choice of content from the object palette. WebSite X5 lets you create even the most complex of page layouts with just a few clicks.

4. Select your Advanced Features

WebSite X5 is second to none when it comes to the ease with which advanced features can be added to your website. Whether you need blogs and podcasts, a members’ area or a full e-commerce system (including the ability to take credit card payments), it is all at your fingertips. WebSite X5 is fully equipped to attract worldwide visitors with its multi-language welcome page and one-click Social Network submission function.

5. Put your site on the Internet

Once you have finished creating your website, the final step is to send it to the Internet. Using any web space, the built-in ftp engine makes it child’s play to publish your website. But it doesn’t stop there; whenever you want to update your website (for example by adding a news item), WebSite X5 intelligently sends just the updates to the web space.

Customer Reviews

Creating a website could not be any easier
I have tried using several software packages already which have been a nightmare, after reading some great reviews and trying Website X5 version 7 I was sold.

The software definitely lives up to its name, its easy to install, it has a built in help option and in the box there was a 150+ page manual FREE. With this version as well as creating websites, you can also create shops and blogs.

Having used version 7 I thought I would share some great improvements that I found:

> The user interface is larger than before and the instructions even easier to follow
> Creating a shop is much easier and the layout options much improved, there are also some great marketing tools included FREE
> The internal editor for photos seems to have a lot more options
> You can upload music files and also You Tube videos

I can't stress how easy this software is to use, there are lots of templates included so getting started is fast. Adding the content is simply a case of dragging and dropping. What I really loved is how easy it is to add things like music, photos and videos without having to need any technical knowledge.

Unlike a lot of the other products on the market that I have tried this software lets you create as many projects as you want and upload them all. There is no domain or hosting included but personally that suits me as there are lots of options available on the market that I was able to choose from which don't require hefty fees.

Due to my own lack of experience I was unsure how to use the built in FTP to upload my website but I had a quick look on the forum and quickly got the answers. So far I have made a website for my family but the great thing is that I have been able to create great photo galleries and I can keep them private since I can add log in security.

I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who wants to create a website for personal or business reasons, for the price you pay you can't go wrong at all.

Great product if you have zero knowledge of web site creation
I had a need to create a multi page web site just recently and, at the time, had just about zero knowledge of how to build a site. This product was recommended and demo'd to me by a mate. I realised that it would enable me to achieve everything I needed to in a short space of time and so went ahead and bought it. The web site is now published and does exactly what I need it to. I'm, therefore, very pleased with my purchase and happy to recommend. In summary: great product if you don't have the time or need to learn a fully featured web site editing package.

Quality web building software
Superb software. Very easy to use. If I'd known exactly how I'd wanted the site to look, I could have had the whole thing on-line within around an hour. As it was, the basic outline was done well under that time. There is a manual with it but, to be honest, the progam is so intuitive, I've hardly glanced at it. Good stuff!
