GreatReviewed by Jeffery L. Voyles, 2010-01-25
I've read some negative reviews on this and it could be that I'm not savvy enough about website design yet to be aware of the flows referenced. One person wrote that their tech savvy friend told him that the site he created wouldn't be picked up by search engines because it contained scripts that the spiders would like. Well, I don't know anything about that. What I do know is that this software far exceeded my expectations both in the tools it provides and the ease with which it is to learn these tools. The book it comes with is straight forward and simple. Admittedly there was a few places where I made mistakes and had to carefully re-read the instructions to get it right but many of the features in this can be learned in just a couple of minutes. Well worth the money I spent.
It was great for the priceReviewed by Jeremy R. Gleason, 2010-01-15
This is my first Serif product. I am a teacher and have little
experience with web design at all. I was using a trial version of
dreamweaver and created a pretty basic site using the same colors I
am using with X2. However, X2 was WAAAAAAY easier to use with about
4-5 hours total of messing around with it I was able to create a
pretty good website. If you want to see it is not finished but it
is "[...]" at least to see what the basic stuff can be done. I need
to remind all of you that I am no expert here and am self taught
since Tuesday!
What I like about WebPlus X2
1) It is a lot easier to use than Dreamweaver
2) the FTP upload makes getting the site on there really simple! I
was using filezilla, but realized that X2 uploads everything the
way it should be.
3) There is a lot of freedom to create your site without tables,
which I liked
4) Cloning pages or creating new ones based on a previous format
was nice! I didn't see that in Dreamweaver, but I didn't need to
look for it in X2 either!
5) Premade buttons, forms, etc...
6) No HTML needed, but it there if you choose to add it
What I don't like
1) It can be a bit bland at times, and tedious
2) The linking process was easier in Dreamweaver in my
opinion
3) There are A LOT more files that are needed to be uploaded
relative to dreamweaver
4) I didn't like their templates (even though there are a
ton)
I know it is like comparing apples to oranges between X2 and
Dreamweaver, but it seems that Dreamweaver is just too complicated
for a basic user. X2 does a great job developing the learning curve
quickly to get at least a basic site online.

Great product; however like everything else, you have to get used to the layout of the software and spend some time reading the instruction manual. Otherwise, the application is great.
Great app with limitationsReviewed by gypsea, 2009-11-23
I purchased this for my personal website. After using Front Page
for several years, this app is a breeze. It does have a couple of
frustrating limitations:
Photo galleries are limited to 64 images
You can place captions on photos, but are limited to font size and
caption placement
When creating a sub page, the navigation links on that sub page
spread across the navigation area, making the font very large in
some cases it just doesn't look right. For example:
Home page: index.htm
Pages: Pages 1-6
Page 2 has sub pages 2.1 and 2.2
When you click on page 2.1 sub page to view, the navigation links
(options to select other pages) will show: Page 2.1, Page 2.2, and
Page 2, and Home, spread across the entire navigation area (master
page determines overall layout of your navigation area)
On the plus side: page hyperlinks are automatically created (or
removed) as you build your site. Easy to edit the hierarchy of the
pages by simply dragging to new location, master pages easy to edit
and apply to all or select pages within website
refund rip offReviewed by N. Milligan, 2009-11-17
Returning to second on accidentally ordered cost over half the cost of the product. Had I known the cost I would have shopped locally
