XSitePro - How Does it Work?
One of the best software programs for building web sites is XSitePro. It’s a program that was created by marketers for marketers.
But, what does it do? What makes it so good? And, how do you use it?
Typically, if you wanted to by a software product you had to go to a sales page and read detailed descriptions of the program you wanted to buy. Maybe there were a few screen shots included so you could see a sample of the product in action.
XSitePro has now made it easier than ever to see how the program actually works!
Through a series of short video tutorials you can see all of the major functions in action and why this is a powerful program for marketers.
Below are brief descriptions of each major feature or function followed by a link to a 3-5 minute video showing you exactly how each one works.
1. The first step in building your web site is to create a new “project” in XSitePro. XSitePro comes with a neat project management feature that lets you quickly and easily organize all of your websites in a matter of seconds.
In this short tutorial you’ll find out just how easy it is to quickly set up and manage each site, and how you can add valuable project information, so that you never lose sight of your objectives months later.
2. Once you’ve created a project for your new site there are dozens of built-in templates for you to use. Or, if you want complete control over the look and feel of your sites, here’s how to do it with the page layout designer.
3. Want to see how easy it is to create great looking web pages in record time.
It doesn’t matter if it’s an article, a press release, or a privacy statement, you can have a top quality page design completed within minutes that looks just like it was put together by a professional designer.
4. Do you have content you want to add to your site that is really long and tedious to read? Well, break it up into several shorter pages with the page break function.
You can split a single, long web page across multiple pages at the click of a button. One long article can be converted into several pages of content in less than 5 seconds.
Or, convert a complete book into 200 or more pages of content in just seconds.
What’s more impressive is that XSitePro will automatically insert professional looking page navigation at the top and bottom of each of those pages you created.
5. Another powerful function is the Multi-Page Wizard. Search Engines love sites with plenty of quality, relevant content. No longer do you need to spend hours building page after page of content.
Add dozens of pages to your site with minimal effort, all optimized for the search engines, keyword rich and ready to publish.
The built-in Multi-page Creation Wizard makes it all possible. Create any number of pages, complete with customized content and meta-data, in a matter of minutes.
6. Have you ever noticed how easy the professional sites on the web make it for you to find your way around?
It’s no accident - the big site operators know that having intuitive navigation not only helps visitors find their way. And, it also helps keep visitors on their site.
With XSitePro’s easy-to-use ‘breadcrumb trail’ feature you can quickly add breadcrumb trail navigation links to your pages automatically, no matter how many pages you add.
Watch the short video below to see just how easy it is:
7. Now it’s time to add navigation menus to your site.
It can be pretty frustrating trying to find your way around a website when the navigation menus are of poor quality or design.
In fact, it can be such a vital aspect of your site’s design that you really should be putting some thought into navigation. Poor site navigation can be a major reason why your visitors stay or leave your site!
You can now create professional quality graphical menus to make navigating your site easy and intuitive for your visitors.
8. Once you’ve created your site you still need to publish it to the web. Well, you’re covered there too as XSitePro includes an easy to use push-button publishing function.
No need to use multiple software programs to get your site up on the web.
Your FTP details are safely stored along with the web pages, images and other content right inside the program. Publishing or updating your site is as simple as clicking a single button.
9. That covers the main site building functions but there’s a whole lot more that XSitePro does to make your sites interactive and exciting.
Need to add a video to your site? No problem!
You don’t need to write a single line of code or even convert your existing videos to some rarely used format. It’s all done for you with just a few clicks of your mouse.
10. Can I add audio to my site too? Of course you can!
Including audio in your Web site can add an extra dimension to help promote your sales message.
If you’ve always wanted to have audio on your site or struggled to do it, then the Audio Wizard is going to really help you!
Inserting audio using XSitePro is so simple that even a complete novice can have audio on their web site in minutes.
11. What if you want to add an opt-in form to build a subscriber or customer list? Or, maybe you want to add a contact form.
Well, there’s a wizard for that too!

12. Now it’s time to monitize your site. Afterall, isn’t that why you’re building a web site in the first place?
One way a web site can earn income is through presenting affiliate marketing offers to your site visitors. But, vendors come and go. Vendors change their offers and often change their affiliate links. So, what do you do?
The built-in Affiliate Wizard keeps track of all your products and links for you. Check out this video to see how easy it is to keep track of all the offers you’re promoting.
13. One of the great affiliate programs you can join for free is Amazon.com. Knowing that, the folks at XSitePro included an Amazon Wizard to quickly add products to sell on your web site so you can earn commissions.

14. But, don’t forget that you can also earn commissons from placing Google Adsense ads on your site.

The library includes buttons, banners, arrows, bullet points, badges, sales graphics and more. With just a couple of mouse clicks you can insert professional graphics into any page on your site.
21. Here’s a feature that should have been mentioned at the beginning of this article. XSitePro is a full-featured WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web site editor. There’s no need for you to learn a single line of code in order to produce great looking web pages. But, if you’re more experienced and would rather build your pages using html code, that’s fine too since that option is just a click away.
Well, if you made it this far I’m sure you can see the power built into the XSitePro software. But don’t think for a second that’s all there is.
You’ll find dozens of additional features built into the program to take your site building and marketing to a whole new level with ease. It’s really the only program you need to build quality web site fast!
I use it, and I think you should too!
