I would like to know if anyone of you still like to use xsite pro . Just wanted to know of a software which you use for building your Html pages Seo point of view .
I actually use XSitePro2, although templates kinda suck, they can be modified and overall it is easy - generate sitemap, build automatic linking structure and somehow I have managed to get couple of PR3 sites with it. I use this whenever im not building a portal with joomla or blog with wordpress.
Blogging software??? .Net, ASP, HTML ... You know. What real programmers use. From a SEO standpoint, there is no blog software out there that address the complete SEO Element needs and therefore if you are in a competitive SEO environment, you will lose. The blog, like most Content Management Systems (CMS) is for rapid content generation to obtain "links". Also add PHP, Java and the other great languages. (Sorry)
catanich - you make me sad and jealous that I never learned any programming languages, that is why I have to use such stupid simple programs that insert lines of codes where needed. I can understand some html and etc, but when I would like to add a linking structure to my html website or etc, id be lost I wish I could learn all about it - it would make my IM journey so much easier..
I still use Xsitepro for some pr=jects, depending on the project needs. In situations where I need to create a quick site with less than 50 pages, I'll use Xsitepro. Any HTML or PHP sites with more than 50 pages is usually done in Dreamweaver. Although, I do find myself using wordpress more and more for various projects as well. Xsitepro still works as I've got several projects with a PR3 or 4.
My $0.02: Dreamweaver may cost over 2x that of XSitePro, but if you're spending $150, then another $150 or so is totally worth it for what DW gets you over XSP. So just to expand on the 1 line 'product x is best' reviews... DW benefits: Real CSS support, with stylesheets that apply to entire sites without embedding the styles into every page or horribly tied to each tag. Valid & tidy X/HTML Browser checks (to ensure your site works in all browsers including ones that aren't standards compliant) Source control tie-in (Subversion) so you can keep track of your changes over time. Way more advanced support for dynamic websites such as PHP, Perl, etc. The one main 'drawback' is that great power usually means more complexity, and you really should understand at least HTML and CSS at a basic level in order to take full advantage of what DW offers. HTH. Cheers!
Funny when it comes to XSite Pro nobody seems to mention or know about the powerful page analysis tool that makes sure you aren't doing stupid seo mistakes like forgetting h1 and alt tags to name just a couple things it will chastise you about. I build websites and I want to also make money so fast and easy wins over geeky and proper everytime, sorry but I like going outside once in a while and sitting there coding just so I can say it's pure and validated doesn't cut it for me my .02 watts
