Version 2 Update:

 Version 2 of XSitePro raises the bar considerably with new features that are only available in higher end software or require special programming.  For example up to this point you would need to acquire software or a service to create your own news feed from your content.  That's not the case with Version 2 as you only need a few clicks and you are done.

 Scale 1-10 Rating: 9.5

I rate this software a 9.5, for ease of use, only because I don't rate anything at a 10.  Every software program can be tweaked and modified to be better and this is my rationale for no 10's.  The 9.5 rating is justified because this is a very simple program that anyone can use to build a one page or a 1,000 page site.  Of course along with the program are video tutorials that provide insight into every detail of operating and maximizing the software's capabilities.

Along with the video tutorials are a very active forum and dedicated help desk if you run into any trouble.  Most everything is covered in the Knowledge bas and Tutorials but if you need help the Help Desk is very responsive.

Quality/Performance: Scale 1-10 Rating 9

I would rate the quality of the software, that is the look, feel and usability of it a 9.  The XSitePro interface is uncluttered and simple yet the functions are extremely powerful.  One of the best features of the program is the file import function.  This enables you to pull in 100's of articles and content within a few seconds.  Lets say that you belong to a PLR site and you want to bring in 50 or so articles.  Instead of entering them in one by one you can import all 50 within seconds, exactly formatted to fit your site, inclusive of any special text or keywords you want or need for each article.

XSitePro Sites are based on templates which are supplied within the software and are easily and economically purchased on the Internet.  If you are handy with PhotoShop you can create your own very easily.  The quality of the templates are very good although I would suggest that you either buy different templates or create your own to stand out from the crowd.  As I had mentioned earlier Joel Comm's Instant AdSense Templates are very, very good.  Well designed with a professional layout and extremely easy to use.  See my review of Joel Comm's Instant AdSense Templates here.

Cons:

One of the only criticisms that I have about XSitePro is that there are some functions that the software cannot perform such as true hot spots(A hot spot is the ability to link areas of a graphic to specific designations.) for areas within the site and the table function is somewhat limited.  These are not show stoppers, as for creating high quality web sites quickly there really isn't anything better.  There has to be some sacrifice for the shear simplicity of the software.
