XsitePro vs... Dreamweaver
Is XsitePro better than Dreamweaver?
Well, the honest answer is both yes and no. XsitePro is very easy to use whereas
Dreamweaver has a very steep learning curve in order to be
able to use it properly.
Also XsitePro is very search engine friendly whereas
Dreamweaver is a "designers" tool i.e. looks and functions well
but is not the search engine's friend.
I will continue to use Dreamweaver to build large web sites
for clients but much prefer XsitePro for making money
from the internet itself.
Here is what the XsitePro website says - bear in mind this
is their own perspective, which naturally is a little biased,
but I would generally concur with this argument as it
highlights the fact that XsitePro is for "marketeers" whilst
accepting that Dreamweaver is still superior for web designers
with complex web sites.
XSitePro vs...
Dreamweaver vs... FrontPage
One of the biggest questions most
people have about whether or not to buy XSitePro
is: how does it compare to the ‘other two?’ and
ultimately, ‘which one of the 3 do I buy?’
It’s often said the answer is difficult. I
disagree; if you’re a web designer looking to build
complex web sites with lots of dynamic pages, then
leave XSitePro well alone. It won’t suite your
needs.
You see, XSitePro has been built for internet
marketers. It’s been designed to create
professional web sites that are effective and
easy-to-use… not over-complex like so many web
designers feel the need to create.
Whereas if you’re on the internet to make money by
building usable web sites that have a direct
purpose, with a clear picture as to what the end
result should be, then XSitePro is the one to
pick.
If you’re new to building web sites and have no
HTML experience, then XSitePro is for you. Some
novices say it’s difficult to learn and takes a lot
of getting used to. Whist that may be true if
you’ve never built a website before, it’s nothing
compare to the white-water ride you’d take by
picking one of the ‘other two.’ And most people can
have their first website built in a couple of
hours, even if they know nothing about the concepts
of building a website.
If you want to build single-page sales letters to
sell your products, you need XSP. If you want to
build Adsense sites to create additional income
streams, you need XSP. If you want to optimize your
web pages for the best possible search engine
placement as you’re building them, you need XSP (by
the way, no other web design software does
this).
But for anyone who feels the need or desire to
build complex sites where every page has a
different layout and has special ‘tricks’ no one
really cares about, buy Dreamweaver or
FrontPage.
Otherwise your choice is clear: XSitePro. |
