 Websites untangled - great software for non HTML experts August 10, 2008

This software is just I what I was looking for. I've been struggling with html and css for months. Positioning elements properly took ages to work out but when I looked in another browser my carefully worked out design was all jumbled up. I never got the results I wanted.
Serif WebPlus X2 is very simple to use. You can use the templates to create a professional looking site in a few hours and if you have some experience of html then you can insert specific instructions into your pages very easily. What I like most about WebPlus X2 is that it's wysiwyg. Previously, I'd take an educated guess at what mark up I'd need for a given result and then have to view it in another programme. Anally retentive programmers probably learn reams of code off by heart to circumvent this but, me, I've got better things to do. With WebPlus X2 you can see what you're doing while you're doing it. You can also view your work in different browsers if you really want to check.
WebPlus X2 seems to be designed with people like me in mind. We know what we want to achieve but don't have the budget to employ an html/css coder or the time to bring our expertise up to their level. In addition to vastly reducing the time and expense that it would take to accomplish the same result by any other means, WebPlus X2 gives you the benefit of many presentational tricks that would take years of programming experience to achieve. My re-vamped site has already drawn favourable comments about its better navigation, layout and graphical design, all achieved in a fraction of the time thanks to WebPlus X2.
WebPlus X2 no need for anything else October 12, 2008

I run my own part time Web Design company called Urweb. I have always been a Dreamweaver Macromedia (now Adobe) fan due to the ability to build professional looking sites, with very little HTML. However I had many issues with Dreamweaver that I could never get around, so tried a few other programs, netobjects and the likes. However I could never get the results I was after. I decided to give Webplus X2 a chance and after a few hours getting to know my new companion, I must say I am blown away.
Yes it does produce some long winded HTML and yes it is difficult to amend your sites in other programs, but why would you want to use anything else.
This has it all from its own Database manager, to ecommerce, to fancy slideshows, all built in. And whats more if I want my picture in the middle of my website I can do it, no frames no problem. You want to make the picture 3D, there is a button does that too. You can add writing where you want, put in navigation bars, and when you update, add or takeaway a page, the whole site is updated automatically. I have now converted 4 sites to this program, including one which is over 100 pages. The great thing is that for 37, my clients can now update their own.
Dreamweaver is currently around the 1000 mark, Webplus a mere 37, there is no contest here. Well done Serif, now ANYONE really can design their own website. Hopefully not putting me out of business.
Great web design software October 4, 2008

I've wanted to get my business online for a long time, but never got round to it. I'd never heard of Serif before, but a friend of mine started raving about their software when he got some of their products 6 months ago, so I bought WebPlus. I have to say this product is amazing!
To use it is a bit like using Word. You just move your graphics and text around the page as you want them appear online, and WebPlus does all the code for you. Things like drop down nav bars, forums, blogs, buy now links, etc. can just be dragged on. There are loads of templates to choose from if you want although I couldn't find one which was suitable for me, so I started from scratch.
I'm no computer genius - if someone like me can create a really polished, professional site, with a members area, customer forum and shopping...anyone can.
 Not much better than the previous version August 4, 2008

I love Serif software and usually never have a bad word to say about it, but I don't think this version of Webplus is that much better than the previous one to make it worth upgrading to if you have that already. It is certainly as good in the site building area and the templates available are excellent, but I didn't find the new feature - being able to import your site back in so it doesn't need to be completely rebuilt if you have no back up - worked very well.
The other problem I found was in backing up the site to an external hard drive to save loss of work in the event of a system failure. I did copy and paste on the saved file as is usual, but found I could lose the site properties when I pressed paste. That could be a Windows problem though as Webplus X2 wasn't even open. I just got round it by pressing save as from in the program twice, once on to my hard drive and once on to the external hard drive. That worked fine.
All in all I am not disappointed. I was able to build my site and upload it easily and that's all I wanted to be able to do. All programs have little hiccups.
